American Idol Started
American Idol is an American singing competition series created by Simon Fuller and produced by 19 Entertainment, and distributed by FremantleMedia North America. It began airing on Fox on June 11, 2002, as an addition to the Idols format based on the British series Pop Idol and has since become one of the most successful shows in the history of American television.

Paula Abdul left American Idol
In her twitter she wrote:"With sadness in my heart, I've decided not to return to 'Idol,I'll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day one become an international phenomenon." Since the show launched, Abdul has been a lightning rod for the show. Her often quirky, always effusive, comments to contestants served as a counterbalance to Cowell's often critical and caustic assessment of weaker players. -
