Reports on "" minus Simon Cowell have been circulated starting this week but it is quickly denied. To the Associated Press, the acid-tongue judge said that he is in for another year, which is in line to what his contract with FOX has specified.

Cowell sent shock through his fans when he did an interview with The Daily Mirror, revealing that he would rather keep up with his other show "" than "X-Factor" and "American Idol". He stated, "And I have to say that in terms of the auditions, I much prefer doing Britain's Got Talent than X Factor and Idol because they genuinely make me laugh. I have no idea what is coming next. It is genius TV. It is beautifully made and brutally observed."

Tackling the speculation that he is leaving the show, Simon said that he loves "Idol" but won't cross out any future options. According to AP, he is still looking forward to ease the workload.

There is no way that Idol go without Simon, I like Simon's opinion, I wish he will stay. I like Paula and Randy too.

I wouldn't watch Idol without Simon. He's the only one on the panel who knows why he's there and gives an honest opinion. He knows what he's talking about. As for Kara AND Paula, I could care less if they were there. Kara acts like she's the only one who knows music and Paula is simply a flake.

I would not watch Idol without Simon. He is why I watch at all. I do not like the new judge and have a hard time watching with her on the show.

I really respect Simon's opinion. I don't know if I would watch if he wasn't on it.
