Tyler continued, “The next few years are going to be dedicated to kicking some serious ass – the ultimate in auditory takeover…On Nov. 6, we are unleashing our new album, ‘Music from Another Dimension on the Earth, Moon, Mars,’ and way beyond the stars…’Idol’ was over-the-top fun, and I loved every minute of it…Now it’s time to bring Rock Back.”
"Idol” co-creator and executive producer Simon Fuller released a statement saying, "I completely understand his desire to get back to his life as the singer in America's greatest-ever rock band. ‘American Idol’ will miss him!”

Steven Tyler can go. He won't be missed. No big deal. And while he's at it he can take his older sister, Jenn Low with him. Tell her to lay low for alittle. She seems desprate to be on anything she can. Stick to acting. She is a really good actress. But she's not a singer performer, at all.
Should have picked Bret Michaels to begin with.....
Also, why not Mariah? Another "one hit wonder" like J LO and Paula....
I understand how Steven wants to "get out" from so much time on Idol and wants to get back to his band~I really respect that. I just hope you find someone that is as talented as he is. I love Jen too, I hope she stays, but if she goes too, I would love to see someone with western talent take her place. Faith Hill, Wynonna, or even her mom.Since so many of them have western talent. I would love to see this happen for us "western lovers" Thank you, karen
Man, not only does all of Hollywood have the same exact facelift (which makes you look about 52 even if your 18) but now they all have the same set of super white choppers... and the public is so twisted and desensitized that we don't see anything wrong with a 64 year old having the teeth of a 16 year old that just got their braces off. The worst is when they get the veneers/implants/dentures that a whiter than humanly possible... it looks ... strange...
And now the worst part is that it's starting to bleed into society because people see their favorite star and now they can go out and buy the same teeth. I saw a cashier with snow white big chicklet horse teeth like Miley Cyrus last week and was mortified.
