That's perfectly fair. I am an Idol junkie and I always will. I think the age limit gives them more of a chance to have an impact in the charts because like I said earlier, it's much harder to enter the charts when you are older.

I see where you are coming from. Phillip Phillips was the last really great winner (though Alejandro Aranda from last season was probably the best contestant the show has had in a long time). I wouldn't say it "tanked" after Simon because Steven Tyler was pretty great and it only really started to tank at Season 12, which was IMO the beginning of the end. The show is back and while I still enjoy, it's just a husk of its former self.
