• 2 fadekeee  • Sep 10, 2009 at 11:55 am

  Ellen isn’t an expert in singing or anything to do with music.. Wtf?

• 3 Scia223  • Sep 10, 2009 at 12:11 pm

  Awesome! I don’t watch her show but I’ve seen some clips that were pretty funny. I think she’ll do great. The other three will cover the technical musical stuff while Ellen will dish out the laughs and humanizing touch, as they mentioned.

  this coming from a guy who doesn’t have his own show, is not part of any entertainment business for many years, doesn’t have a fanbase of millions, and spends his time on youtube…not that there’s anything wrong with that, tonyreno123, just saying

• 5 blossom114  • Sep 10, 2009 at 12:39 pm

  Don’t get me wrong, I love Ellen, and think she’s hilarious and completely down to earth…but I have to wonder what is she going to bring to the show? I don’t think she has any background in music.

  I love Ellen! I think she’ll do great!! ;D

• 7 MrsMJ2007  • Sep 10, 2009 at 1:32 pm

  When I first heard about this on the View, I thought you have got to be kidding me! We don’t need a comedian, we need someone with musical abilities and talent. Ellen can neither dance nor sing. Ellen is a good comedian. But I think American Idol has sunk to a new low.

  Behold the White Horse.

  2 paychecks good for her

• 10 zwiggegirl  • Sep 10, 2009 at 3:14 pm

  I love Ellen… but she can’t replace Paula. Nobody can. So sad to see somebody else taking Paula’s seat… they should have never let her go.

• 11 valeriestjohn  • Sep 10, 2009 at 3:21 pm

  Maybe I missed something, but did American Idol need to be funny? I would rather see Paula.

• 12 meenaalani  • Sep 10, 2009 at 3:28 pm

  wohooow we cannot wait!!

• 13 iRockDemVans  • Sep 10, 2009 at 3:33 pm

• 14 JerseyShore096  • Sep 10, 2009 at 3:58 pm

  her and paula are both crazy. but @ least ellen is funny 2

• 15 vickeyk  • Sep 10, 2009 at 4:01 pm

  I think the show will do great with her funny lines and just the way she is with ppl . She is a good choice. I surely will watch more now

• 16 moonlight0626  • Sep 10, 2009 at 4:41 pm

• 23 xXAdreasaulaloverXx  • Sep 10, 2009 at 8:19 pm

  wtf Ellen’s cool but WTF!

• 24 HuneyBou  • Sep 10, 2009 at 8:28 pm

  I’m not sure how good of a judge she will be, but I never watch American Idol so who cares? lol

• 25 danceHieudance19  • Sep 10, 2009 at 8:30 pm

  yeah, you need a nice person. but she knew she wasn’t gonna be like a music producers side.

• 26 danceHieudance19  • Sep 10, 2009 at 8:31 pm

  I am sorta tired of hearing them criticize them, cause it makes the singers feel bad, it will be nice for the singers to laugh a little int heir dark time.

• 27 MrsMJ2007  • Sep 10, 2009 at 8:34 pm

  I think Ellen is funny. But this show is not about comedy, although it has some very comedic moments. It’s supposed to be about musical ability. When you put someone on who knows absolutely nothing about the industry and has no real musical ability, it kind of discredits the show itself. I see Ellen DeGeneres enough on TV. Had they chosen another musical celebrity that was popular I would have been okay with that.

• 28 danceHieudance19  • Sep 10, 2009 at 8:38 pm

  No doubt Ellen is funny. Yeah its a music show, you don’t need comedy. But it honestly would have more eye opening moments. Although she has no musical ability, she can add something that none of them have. Which is sincerity. Im counting on her charisma to carry hr judging abilities. But i think she will have some comments. I don’t think she will be all “that was good”

• 29 MrsMJ2007  • Sep 10, 2009 at 8:44 pm

  No doubt she will add levity. But how can you judge someone’s musical attributes without having the exposure to it. Randy, Simon, and Paula have all worked in the music industry as performers, producers, writers. They know what it takes and what the industry is looking for right now. That’s the same as having someone judge a cooking show without knowledge of different cuisines or cooking techniques. It won’t be the same anyway. The talent on that show hasn’t been good since the first 3 or 4 yrs.

• 30 AndreaMSkate  • Sep 10, 2009 at 9:31 pm

  I am thrilled. She’s perfect for the job, despite her lack of a musical background. She’s brilliantly people smart. She will do well and of course will be hilarious.

• 31 screamloudly8497  • Sep 10, 2009 at 11:11 pm

  WTF

• 32 juzakido  • Sep 10, 2009 at 11:56 pm

  seriously?! i think she’ll love all! HAHAHA NICE

• 33 BREN70S  • Sep 11, 2009 at 9:16 am

  its good that they have all areas covered on the panel , african american , gay ,female, and smug patronising wanker .

• 34 ErickReyKing91  • Sep 11, 2009 at 1:44 pm

  Great Move by the American Idol People!!!
  No More Addicts on The Show!!!

• 35 lalavillar  • Sep 12, 2009 at 12:36 pm

  is she only gonna be a guest judge? I like Ellen but I don’t think she’s right for the show

• 36 theecenterpartss  • Sep 13, 2009 at 6:55 pm

  she’ll be a really good judge. she’ll be able to look at the singers from an audience members perspective and i think that’s what the judging panel needs

• 37 videoreviewer99  • Sep 13, 2009 at 7:53 pm

  GOODBYE AMERICAN IDOL, im going to miss you. Thanks Ellen, you ruined the show

• 38 14dorlan  • Sep 13, 2009 at 10:03 pm

  how

• 39 MeredithP1987  • Sep 14, 2009 at 10:52 am

  OMG! Does anyone know when the new season is scheduled for UK tv? I dont normally watch it, but im gona be glued now!

• 40 radchix  • Sep 14, 2009 at 4:26 pm

  YOUR A PIECE OF SHIT DADDYDON48..Get a life..your obviously insecure..go find a rope and jump off something homophobe

• 41 deannausernametaken  • Sep 14, 2009 at 7:15 pm

  I haven’t heard anyone (except the reatrd who posted just before you) say anything about her being gay. I love Ellen, but I have a hard time picturing her as a judge of vocal talent. She could be great at it though; it’s just not a side of her we’ve seen before, so it’s hard to imagine.

• 42 corasona  • Sep 14, 2009 at 8:48 pm

  No One ever can replace paula she was the BEST jusge EVER & she will always BE !!! <3 I love you paula abdul <3

• 43 corasona  • Sep 14, 2009 at 8:49 pm

  judge*

• 44 ck  • Sep 14, 2009 at 8:42 pm

  i will not be watching this show ever again. i know just one person will not make a dent in this talented show. so sorry you had to cheapen such a great show. she or he is nothing compared to paula who brought class and compasion to this wonderful entertaining tv program. i will miss watching the show miss seeing simon and randy someone always has to mess up a good thing but this is uncalled for.

• 45 JohnSchinkel  • Sep 15, 2009 at 5:19 pm

  why should she be judging poeple who sing when she wouldnt make it very far herself

• 46 kissthis200  • Sep 16, 2009 at 12:53 am

  Paula wasnt replaced guys she quit. So they found a replacement but i thought thats why they added the new girl last year. Man they need to just stick with the three they got.. no one wants ellen there i mean not cus shes gay but she just doesnt fit in and it sounds like its gunna be vry annoying seeing her on there every week…

• 47 vegasdicepit  • Sep 16, 2009 at 3:17 am

  What does Ellen know about music? She like many others have a love for music, but does not know music at all. Ask her what a triad is and she couldn’t tell you. This is someone thats going to determine someones fate. Very poor choice…no seasoning here. Latoya Jackson, Celine Dion and many others like them are not currently working, and Simon picks Ellen. He must be working on the cheap these days…you get what you pay for.

• 48 oldmaryjane  • Sep 17, 2009 at 6:24 am

  Meredith . . . there is no British Idol, but there is a show called X Factor (Leona Lewis is a past winner) which is currently airing the audition phase right now. It’s set up differently than AI in that the judges act as mentors for 4 categories. It’s very, very good. You can get the best auditions on YouTube. Hope this helps.

• 49 antilibercrat  • Sep 17, 2009 at 7:24 am

  I won’t miss Abdul. I couldn’t tolerate another season of her psycho babbling. And besides, the show is about finding talent, not about Abdul. Personally, I think Abdul is nuts for demanding more money and then quiting when she doesn’t get it. Abdul is only a mediocre talent at best, she is never going to earn what she made on the talent show, like what was it about 10 or 12 million for just sitting there?

• 51 skipperrox99  • Sep 18, 2009 at 4:58 pm

  is this actually true???… has it been confirmed???…. don’t get me wrong… ellen is totally rad… but i can’t picture her as a judge on american idol…

• 52 MeredithP1987  • Sep 18, 2009 at 6:32 pm

  Thats not what I meant. I know all about the X factor, I watch it every week, love the show. I meant when is the actual American Idol due to broadcast in the uk. We get that on our tv every year too, but Ive never really paid too much attention as to when its on

• 53 finijfk10  • Sep 19, 2009 at 1:48 am

  does ELLEN KNOW ABOUT MUSIC???
  mmmmmmmmmm

• 54 finijfk10  • Sep 19, 2009 at 1:48 am

  does ELLEN KNOW ABOUT MUSIC???
  mmmmmmmmmm

• 55 007yaj  • Sep 19, 2009 at 1:05 pm

  yea it doesn’t really make much sense placing her as a judge. why don’t they just choose somebody else??
