Where’s she from…? Season 2 of American Idol.

Adam Lambert bundles up as he leaves an interview at Parlour Salon in Toronto, Canada.

The 27-year-old American Idol finalist is in town to promote his album, For Your Entertainment.

But seriously Adam, it’s not THAT cold!

Here’s a look at some of the past female winner’s first auditions.

Simon Cowell, the acerbic Brit who has helped give “American Idol” some of its sharpest — and nastiest — moments, will leave the hit TV singing contest after this season.

The cantankerous judge said Monday that “The X Factor,” a talent show he created and which is popular in Britain, will join Fox’s schedule next year. Cowell will be a judge on “The X Factor” and its executive producer.

Cowell’s decision is the biggest threat yet to what has consistently been the country’s top-rated TV program and a true cultural force. This season, original host Paula Abdul has been replaced by Ellen DeGeneres.

But Cowell, with his caustic commentary, has long been seen as the big star of “Idol.”

He said it would have been difficult for him to do both shows. While he makes a reported $36 million a year to be on “American Idol,” he owns “The X Factor” and could make much more if the show takes off.

Cowell and top Fox executives made the announcement to reporters in Pasadena at a meeting of the Television Critics Association; they said they had reached an agreement only a few hours before.

“I was offered a lot of money to stay on,” Cowell said. “But that wasn’t the reason behind it. I wanted to do something different. I wanted a new challenge.”

But an even greater challenge is posed for Idol producers. Without the show’s biggest attraction and most critical judge, will “American Idol” lose steam and plunge even more in ratings? At least one analyst, Shari Anne Brill of Carat USA, said the “Idol” audience probably will decline next season.

“I think it’s that brand of sarcasm combined with professional know-how that makes Simon the audience magnet that he is,” she said. “I really believe the show revolves around him. He’s the linchpin of the show’s success. He has tremendous influence on how the audience votes. He’s interesting to listen to. He’s brutally honest.”

That said, even without Simon, she predicts the show “will still be a formidable player on Fox’s schedule.”

Looks like things are gettin serious up n’ har.

Another song after the jump.

Kris Allen may be an “American Idol” winner, but fans didn’t vote him to No. 1. this week, according to Billboard.

The Season 8 victor’s debut album sold a disappointing 80,000 in its first week, the weakest debut of any “Idol” winner, landing it at No. 11.

In fact, another “Idol” winner, Carrie Underwood, outsold him with sales of her third album, “Play On.” The album sold 86,000 copies, pushing it past the half-million mark overall. It was released on November 3.

And Kris’ runner-up, Adam Lambert, is poised to make a much bigger splash with his own debut, “For Your Entertainment.” The album is reportedly on its way to a 225,000-selling release following the star’s controversial performance on last weekend’s “American Music Awards.”

John Mayer earned the week’s No. 1 album with “Battle Studies,” which sold 286,000 copies.

So, let me get this straight. Good Morning America didn’t want to deal with Adam Lambert’s controversy… and instead has opted for Chris Brown?

According to Ok Magazine, Chris will now perform a few songs off of his new album and give an interview.

“The network is giving a mixed message,” an ABC source tells the newspaper, “that it doesn’t trust someone who shocked with an unpredictable show and a gay kiss, but then it is happy to go ahead with Chris Brown, who was convicted of felony assault.”

ABC insiders say Glambert was ditched from GMA because he proved — after groping a female dancer, kissing a male keyboard player and simulating a sex-act with a male dancer on Sunday night — that he was inappropriate for morning television.

“He was not canceled over a gay kiss,” a source tells the paper. “He showed himself to be unpredictable on live TV.”

Well, Chris showed himself to be unpredictable while alone with his girlfriend. If that is so easily forgotten, why can’t they give Adam a chance?
