The rumors are true. The show that made us think that we could become stars is finally coming to an end. Fox just released it’s 2015-2016 lineup, and one classic show is getting the boot. After fourteen seasons, “American Idol” announced that next season will be it’s last.
Just announced! @AmericanIdol will begin its 15th – and FINAL – season this JAN on @FOXTV! http://t.co/DLJmi9U3Ff pic.twitter.com/KQffQPjMvn

On one hand, it’s sort of sad. That show basically raised us. We would watch the contestants sing their hearts out, vote for our faves, and plan our audition. At one point we dreamed of a love affair with Simon. We had a crush on Ryan’s original co-host (Brian Dunkleman). We cared and cried and loved that show so effing much. And then after about five seasons we got lives and gave up on “Idol,” just like 95 percent of the population.
So on the other hand, most of us didn’t even know that the show was still being aired, let alone watched by the few stragglers left. And to be honest, besides Kelly Clarkson, that blonde country singer, and the girl who had a cameo in the “Sex and the City” movie, most of us didn’t give a shit about the other winners. Or know that people were still winning at all.
Still, it’s a day of mourning. And like any other 2015 goodbye, the world spoke out about this the only way they know how: with snarky, hilarious tweets.

I'm amazed it took 15 whole years for American Idol to get cancelled.

With American Idol being cancelled, I expect one final ceremony where Carson Daly absorbs all of Ryan Seacrest’s remaining powers.

American Idol has been cancelled. Only time will tell if the Kardashian's 15 minutes of fame lasts as long as Ryan Secrest's has.

I'm worried Ryan Seacrest won't be able to find work after American Idol ends.

Wherever you fly, I’m sure this isn’t goodbye Ryan Seacrest. I have no doubt that you’ll be interviewing people who are less famous than you for years to come. RIP “Idol.”.

(yeahokaywhat) Aspiring to be the next Tina Fey, Rachel spends her free time doing nothing to reach that goal. While judging people based on how they use "they're" vs. "there" on social media, she likes eating buffalo chicken dip, watching other people's Netflix, and wearing sweatpants way more than is socially acceptable.
