I've watched every episode since season 2. I've gone to all the concerts. I have pictures with several winners. This is the 1st season I'm behind by 4 episodes. The show is missing something and has for a while. We need Simon or 'a Simon'. It's just boring now. I miss the old days with the concerts and more hype about the show. I also prefer more past contestants instead of other celebrities coming to mentor. I'll keep watching, but it's just not the same.
