Jimmy Iovine Gives Idol The Dose Of Simon It Needs
Just when I was starting to get bored with the American Idol judges saying basically the same thing to each contestant, along comes Jimmy Iovine to tell it like it is. At the peak of Idol's success, I think the charm of the show was hearing from a judge who wasn't afraid to say exactly what was on his (and our) mind. And that's why the show hasn't been the same since Simon left.
