Fourth season 'American Idol' contestant Constantine Maroulis had a lot to say about the singing competition when he chatted with PopEater at USA Network and Vanity Fair's 2010 Character Approved Awards in New York. While the 'Rock of Ages' star approves of Ellen DeGeneres as a judge, he believes the show will implode when Simon Cowell leaves after this season. "It's unfortunate. He's a mogul and going to go on to greater and greater things ... but the show is really going to miss him," Maroulis tells PopEater. "I hope they just end it after this year."

It's too bad they didn't end it before this d-bag got a chance to pollute the airwaves.

Really mintrubble71? Name one song of his you've heard on the radio! How does this d-bag pollute the airwaves? And why are you people so F**king hostile?!?!?
He had his chance & couldn't cut it. Now he doesn't want anyone else to have a shot. What a dirtbag!
Unfortunately, the American viewing public seems to be satisfied with watching a bunch of minimally talented "wailers and screamers", and feels it to be oh, so important that they register votes on which one of the vocal losers is LEAST objectionable as a performer. Last year's "winner", the sad sack from Oklahoma, was absolutely abominable, but he rode his sob-story hard luck tail all the way to the end. Pardon me while I puke...
The d-bag is right. How many "winners" can be called successes? Lasting successes? Clarkson and Underwood. And Clarkson? Where is she now? She imploded after a few years "at the top". For Underwood, it's still wait and see. Everyone else was hot for barely a minute and then gone off all radar.
What little value "Idol" has left is the entertainment Simon provides. Without him, it's like hanging around your high school once you've graduated - plain pitiful.
i cant stand this weird and ugly guy who is so full of himself and is still angry he got booted off idol a few years ago. but i agree idol is boring . its time is past if you see simon cowel leaving that should tell you something. idol is dead!

Look close...he's the lion from the Wizard of Oz!
And still in need of some heart!
Talk about sour grapes! No one would know who this douche is if it weren't for AI. My friends and I would laugh so hard whenever he performed because he always tried to look so sexy and stare into the camera. What an ego on this guy!

I agree American Idol is dying and Simon Cowell leaving will be the nail in the coffin.
I love Constantine though and he is actually starring on Broadway now which I'm not sure he would be if it hadn't been for Idol. Never know. He's very talented but AI is great exposure. He is actually one of the few who are successful after being on the show and not winning.

The REAL problem with Idol is that the show hasn't produced a bona fide recording star since Kelly Clarkson. Sorry Ms. Underwood, but country music doesn't count.

Daughtry?
and if it were up to society you wouldnt count either.Its narrow minded idiots like you that should keep their opinions to them selves she is one of the biggest stars around
Why doesn't country music count?Carrie has had more success than any of the others and probsbly made more money!!
Except for the FACT that Carrie Underwood can sing better than anyone else from Idol, or most anywhere else for that matter, sell more cds and is far better looking. Nah, that doesn't count does it. Listen to her sing Skid Row or Motley Cru.
Well the girl has made the money. Don't you wish we all could be that lucky?
mintrubble71...you are such a loser!
Why doesn't country music count? Because YOU don't like it? I just love open-minded people like you.
non singing dirt bag what that hanging off his face? b--ls?

Consentine we miss you You were wonderful You are absolutely right Ellen will never replace the kind of shart talking and honest savy of Simon Never The show will not ever be the same unless they find a heavy hitter with straight up honest judging Not afraid of the crowsa opinion of him or her and really being the professional that Simon tried to be he told them like it was
