Idol Jumps The Shark?

I think American Idol is losing steam. Even Simon Cowell has recently admitted on Oprah that he's surprised the show has lasted this long. With former contestants like Chris Daughtrey selling millions of cd's without actually winning Idol, some of us are starting to wonder if it really matters who actually wins the show. Maybe that's why Sanjaya got so much attention. The show could've been boring without the possible shake-up of a contestant who couldn't really sing having a shot of winning the whole show. Meanwhile, over on the other network, there's the fresher-faced Dancing With the Stars which, lately to me, is a whole lot more fun to watch.
