its amazing people are this worked up over American Idol.


American Idol...

I watch it only for Simon. I like to think it's the reason everyone watches it, actually

 

[Mau ®]

Ellen's cool. Paula was a drug-addled fest the last few seasons. It was a miracle she could string some words and form a sentence.

 

[i_am_ben]

i like Ellen but she is entirely inappropriate for this show.

maybe its just a joke?

 

[Messypandas]

People people like this (i'm speaking from the UK) tend to find have a harder time seeing terrible performers being laughed at and mocked, i could see her having a hard time on this show

 

[Spotless Mind]

:lol I love Ellen, so this kinda makes me wanna watch it, even if she might be out of her element. She couldn't possibly be worse than Randy and his worthless opinions.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Uh...really?

 

[lethial]

Finally this show can fucking end. FINALLY.

 

[Plywood]

Meet the new American Idol judge...

You're always around when I need you lethial

 

[KibblesBits]

If she gets up and starts to dance during the audition or any time during the season i'm going to stop watching Idol. Plus I hate Kara. suck a nut ho.

just give up now.

 

[Fatalah]

I think Ellen can do no wrong after Dory. Let them eat cake I SAY!

 

[vatstep]

I don't mind Ellen, but this is just stupid. Reminds me of when Dennis Miller did commentary on Monday Night Football.

 

[etiolate]

Seriously? What does she know about music?

What does American Idol have to do with music?

 

[hellclerk]

well fuck, that seals it. next season i get the chance i'm going to audition! i'll be the guy with the harmonica.

Horrible choice. When she was the guest judge on "So you think you can dance?", her "routine" was cute at first then it became awkward when the dancers had to force a smile during her ramblings about nothing at all. By the end of the episode she learned to just say"great dance" and shut up, and that was only one show. I cant imagine a whole season of her "judging".

 

[AVclub]

Paula would ramble on about nothing and be completely unentertaining. She is a fucking washed up pop singer from close to 2 decades ago. In fact her forte was dancing, not singing. So her resume hardly makes her an excellent judge of singing talent.

Ellen's a comedian, who's job is to quickly think of entertaining things to say. Sure she rambles, but at least it's fairly coherent and usually funny. Ellen also enjoys dancing, much like Paula, but does not have a gaudy jewelry business to promote.

I think Ellen's the perfect choice to replace Paula.

 

[tapedeck]

wat.

Well on the bright side she won't be a judge on SYTYCD.

 

[KolosLazar16]

her?

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

love it

 

[JCX]

What a terrible choice. We did fine with 3 judges for seven seasons. Last season was almost always rushing. They should have just stuck with 3.

 

[ivysaur12]

Maybe Ellen can write the winning song this year. It has to be better than whatever Kara came up with.

 

[DarkWish]

I don't think it's been mentioned in this thread but.... Ellen DeGeneres signed a FIVE year contract.

 

[TemplaerDude]

:lol

as if i needed another reason not to watch this show.

 

[Spider from Mars]

I will volunteer my nut to be sucked

 

[CrayzeeCarl]

They can't even try to act like she has anything to do with music. How the fuck is this going to work? What advice can she give?

Better than Paula. She thinks every act on the show is the greatest performance she's ever seen. :|

 

[AVclub]

Is anyone else looking forward to the auditions more now? I think having Ellen making jokes will be WAY better than Paula trying to find something nice to say to everyone.

 

[crazy monkey]

she is the only one is the show who can talk down Simon i think.
