Mr. Simon Cowell c/o SYCO Music Bedford House 69-79 Fulham High Street London SW6 33JW UK Dear Simon Where do I begin to ask you to consider your decision to leave the best show on televisions? I have been watching American Idol since the show first 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 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 time. I thought Id share that spreadsheet with you.
