Another Fox honcho, Kevin Reilly, defended Idol's past season, even though ratings slipped slightly and it reviews weren't up to par.

"The talent was excellent this year," Reilly insisted of Lee DeWyze, Crystal Bowersox and co.  But Reilly did concede that there might have been a chemistry issue: "it's a live show — the alchemy might not have been as strong," as previous Idol seasons.
