After two seasons sitting at the American Idol judges’ dais, recording artist Steven Tyler has announced his decision to part ways with the Fox series.
Tyler’s announcement comes the same day that Jennifer Lopez hinted at her own Idol exit, during an appearance on NBC’s Today.
Tyler’s statement, as cheekily phrased and punctuated as it is, reads as follows:
After some long…hard…thoughts… I’ve decided it’s time for me to let go of my mistress American Idol before she boils my rabbit. I strayed from my first love, Aerosmith, and I’m back – but instead of begging on my hands and knees, I’ve got two fists in the air and I’m kicking the door open with my band. The next few years are going to be dedicated to kicking some serious ass – the ultimate in auditory takeover.
On Nov. 6, we are unleashing our new album, Music from Another Dimension on the Earth, Moon, Mars, and way beyond the stars.
Idol was over-the-top fun, and I loved every minute of it. Now it’s time to bring Rock Back. ERMAHGERD.

I think the end is near for A.I.

I love Aerosmith and, Steven Tyler. I wish him the best of luck. Sucks for idol that he is leaving. But the talent really hasn't been that great in awhile.
