I'm not even sure I'll be watching it this seems - with Paula gone and everything that has happened, it's become unwatchable.

I agree, this is an awful decision. I don't even know why they need 4 judges anyway. The show was doing amazing with just three.

What the hell does Ellen have to do with music?

Well, Paula didn't start off medicated. Who knows what's in store for both Ellen and Kara

Seems like the problems started when Kara was added. Without her, Paula would have gotten the raise she wanted and all would have been good.

Have you heard Ellen sing before? She's not terrible, but she's not good either. It's absurd how they picked her to be a judge, while they should have just left it at the guest judges and continued the season with just 3.

I mean, can you even picture Ellen on Idol? I don't get it - this season is bound to be a disaster from the getgo.

No Julie, I can't picture Ellen on Idol. And I also can't picture Ellen ansd Simon working together either!

I like Ellen. But I don't think she really has the background or credits to be an Idol judge.

Schmoopie · 09-10-2009, 03:44 AM

So I guess Ellen is qualified to be an American Idol judge simply because she has had pretty much every contestant on her show (win or lose) since I can remember? Yeah, that makes sense!

Just another reason for me NOT to watch American Idol.

Well, I don't watch it anyway, so...

Ellen will do good as a Judge

I didn't even think about that, lol. I can already tell Ellen, being the commediene she is, is going to turn everything into a joke. How in the world is she going to give a critique on someone's vocal ability? I wouldn't be surprised to see Simon give her the boot a few episodes in, lol.

Yeah, I can definitely see Simon getting tired of Ellen's sense of humor and at least threatening to turf her from the show, lol.

Will Ellen still be doing her talk show now that she is a judge on American Idol?

JT · 09-11-2009, 05:55 PM

Great, one of my favorite reality shows will soon turn into "The Ellen DeGeneres Show Jr." Fail fail fail fail fail fail fail. I do not want her on this show, and if she ever gets up to do her ridiculous "dancing," I'd probably cry.

They should have just never added Kara. Paula, Simon, and Randy. That's it. That's all you needed. Nobody asked for a fourth judge.
