The new American Idol judge is... - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

Surprised she has time for this. Isn't her show 5 days a week? I guess she can fit it in though. She's funny to watch too. They should pull a trick on her and have Anne Heche audition.

The worst part about the show last season was that there were 4 judges. Half the show was the judges bickering and hamming it up for the camera. The show is supposed to be about the singing. Not 20 minutes of Paula yammering on, and ten minutes of "What up dog?" and ten minutes of kara trying to figure out what kind of an artist the contestant will be. And the 30 seconds of Simon because he gets cut off. Leave it at three judges. Dont care who, but four is overkill!!

Ellen may not be in the music industry, but neither are the millions of teen girls who cast their votes.

That would be a pretty lame trick. Ellen's wife is much hotter than Anne Heche.

The first time I see her dance, I swear to God I'll explode!! I cannot figure out why people are so fascinated with her dancing. Gets on nerves.

Teabaggins · 09-10-2009, 03:36 PM

the entire show is just an overblown karaoke contest anyway so who cares if the judge has any musical cred or not.

I never watch the show after all the pathetically ridiculous early contestants are gone and my wife hates it(lucky for me)

Pondosinatra · 09-10-2009, 03:39 PM

Awesome. One more reason NOT to watch that show.

+1

me too. i watched it about 3-4 seasons ago, and since then i stopped, as its gone down hill. this is the breaking point. the show is becoming so self-absorbed is laughable.

I saw her "So you think you can dance" appearance... almost unbearable.

AI has OFFICIALLY Jumped the Shark!

BigLuvJason · 09-10-2009, 04:05 PM

please tell me its a joke.....

JamesKurtovich · 09-10-2009, 04:17 PM

My wife will LOVE this. But sad to see Paula leaving.

Ellen does seem out of place. Ellen is current and popular whereas the others just needed a job (save for Simon).

The fact that Ellen is still doing her daily talk show goes to show how little work is required for being an AI judge, and makes Simon's salary seem even more ridiculous.

JamesKurtovich · 09-10-2009, 05:51 PM

Not so sure if it's entirely based on popularity. Adam Lambert was one of the most popular in history yet he lost to good ol' Kris Allen.

Seems like a good replacement for the spot left open by Paula Adbul. A female judge who will never say anything bad, and will actually go out of their way to find something positive to say about every performance.

I'm not sure how she'll fit in with the other judges, but I guess we'll see (because, yes, I secretly watch this show fairly often when it's on).

I think MOR Kris Allen was just as popular, but Lambert fans were certainly more vocal.

I like Paula's drug riddled ramblings, plus her rack spilling out in Hi-Def was nice to watch. Ellen? Not so much.

P@t_Mtl · 09-10-2009, 06:16 PM

I think it's more of a safe thing from the producers. Helen is a lot of things and she can be funny but she is mostly safe. She is never rude and there is little chance of her doing something stupid or making a completly idiotic comment or look drunk on screen. For the producers that could be big plus.
