Simon Cowell will no longer be crushing terrible singers’ dreams on the most popular show on television.
Cowell just announced this will be his last season on “American Idol” — and that he’s leaving the show to be a judge and executive producer on FOX’s upcoming American version of “The X Factor” … the British talent show that launced Leona Lewis‘ career.
Cowell just made the announcement during the semiannual Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena.
