Steven Tyler Helped Resurrect American Idol

. (hennemusic) Many people wrote off American Idol at the end of last season, as the reality show lost viewers for the fourth year in a row.

The producers recognized the need for change, and did something about it: out with Simon Cowell, daytime TV show hosts and anonymous songwriters as judges, and in with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez to add some real music/celebrity cred to the proceedings.
