Dear Simon:

Where do I begin to ask you to reconsider your decision to leave the best show on television?
I have been watching "American Idol" since the show fi rst aired on June 11, 2002. Under
your guidance and leadership, superstars like Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood were
discovered. You are the driving force to push these contestants to their limits and to help them
realize that being a superstar takes lots of hard work and dedication.

I have kept a spreadsheet since the beginning of the show just as a quick reference for myself
as to who won so I can quickly look them up to see what direction their career is taking at any
given time. I thought I'd share that spreadsheet with you.

Once again, Simon, please reconsider and stay on "American Idol." Your foresight is truly
amazing, and you are the judge who "says it like it is."

Sincerely,

Your Name
American Idol Fan
