Candice and Caleb. Even though Lee is the worst overall winner, his album sold decently for a debut. Candice and Caleb were really good at the show but don't really have markets that are mainstream now.

So many salty people who seem bitter that people liked and watched things that they personally did not watch/like.
Frankly it is pretty bizarre. Do people go into other show cancellation threads with the same emo tirades about how they are super happy that something they never watched is ending?

To be fair, a 1.0 rating in 18-49 isn't really bad in today's world.
The show is just super expensive to produce.

He also wrote Nacho Libre. They didn't mention he was a successful writer and actor and instead pretended he was a gay son coming to terms with his dad.

You're remembering it wrong..Here is episode one of their season. Their intro: "My dad and I are both writers. I wrote a movie called School of Rock"

Yup. Whether you hated him or loved him he gave a sense of legitimacy to the show and the premise that contestants could have a future in the industry. Without his resume and calling bullshit bullshit the show lost a lot of that.
That's fair, I probably came in on episode 2 and was like, "That's fucing Ned Schneebly wtf" however, the principle still stands - his path to getting on the show was probably talking to the actual producer. "Hey me and my dad will do it!"

This. I can't say I'm upset. It's about time, because it's getting long in the tooth and I'm sick of it.
I have seen almost every season of AI ( think I missed one, season 10 or 9), and enjoyed the show very much, but I must agree it is time for the show to go. The talent pool is lackluster, the judges aren't that insightful (with the exception of Harry Connick Jr.), and the format is rather tiresome. I suppose I'll watch the final season, just to see the show through to the end. Had season 15 not been the final season, I would have quit watching. It's sad to see it go, but it's time.
