Ellen Degeneres New American Idol Judge

[bigdaddy]

I thought it was a joke but nope, on MSNBC.

Better than Paula (Something Kara can't say.), I liked her on "So you think you can dance?"

 

[Trekker4747]

Dear, God, no! I can't stand Ellen!

They should've kept Kara! She was very nice to look at.

But friggin' Ellen?! Ugh.

 

[firehawk12]

Well, that's random. I guess she's the next best thing to a generic nice person with some personality and a built in fan base.

I think you need to date more.

Anyways Kara will stay there, they signed her for another year when the whole Paula thing fell apart.

Why don't you like Ellen? Too manish for you? The fact she doesn't have tits but likes tits?

 

[Cakes488]

Ellen is just fine and dandy but she should stick to comedy and keep doing what she's doing. I personally thought Ellen totally sucked on so you think/dance. She said nothing....if that much. I mean shit, why was she there...for eye candy...LOL I don't think so.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

Just think 10 years ago her coming out was controversial and now she's going to be on the biggest show out there. The whole thing seems positively quaint nowadays.

 

[Yoda]

Oh God, I was sure they couldn't do worse than Paula.

I was wrong. So wrong.

I found it more interesting that this replaced the President of the US Addressing Congress as the top story on Yahoo and MSNBC as the President was still giving the speech.

As for the news, eh they could do worse.

 

[wamdue]

a well known TV personality no question, maybe she could host the show, but what does she know about music?

 

[Trekker4747]

Why don't you like Ellen? Too manish for you? The fact she doesn't have tits but likes tits?

Yes, because I've displayed so many homophobic tendancies during my tenure here.

I just don't like her. Don't like her personality, don't find her funny, and she annoys me. I don't care who, or what, she sleeps with or what she looks like. I just can't stand her.

 

[Danny99]

I didn't watch Idol before and Ellen won't make me!

 

[bigdaddy]

She said nothing....if that much.

So she is a perfect replacement for Paula!

And Trekker I didn't say nor do I think you are homophobic, I think you just watch AI for the boobs.

 

[auntiehill]

I don't care who the judges are. I just wish American Idol would go the hell away.

 

[Trekker4747]

And Trekker I didn't say nor do I think you are homophobic, I think you just watch AI for the boobs.

Is there any other reason to watch AI?

Surprising choice. I didn't even realize Ellen was a judge on DYTYCD. Anyway, she's more for comic relief. I would think they'd hire someone with an actual background in the music and recording industry.

I was wondering this too. Randy and Simon are both record producers, Kara is a songwriter, Paula was a performer so... what experience in the music industry is Ellen going to bring?

 

[wamdue]

its an odd choice, currently the UK reality shows has added some new judges, for example X Factor has added a previous winner of Popstars, whilst Strictly Come Dancing, has added a previous winner of the show, to its judging panel.

 

[Spot's Meow]

I'm disappointed because I feel it's a step down for Ellen, whom I like.

 

[Worf2DS9]

This is a weird choice. I can see Ellen maybe turning up as one of the guest judges during the auditions, but why as a regular judge?? It doesn't make much sense. I mean, when you think of Ellen, you don't immediately think "music industry". I would have nixed the 4th judge idea anyway. It was better when there were only three.

I actually like that idea, how many losers of AI are there that could have filled in.
