Yes. And I don't get it. At all.

Don't get me wrong, I think that Ellen can be a very funny comedian, but the whole point of the judging panel was to get some music experts to decide who had the chops to make it in the music industry. What does Ellen know about the music industry?

If Simon Cowell leaves, who will they replace HIM with? Jim Carey? Bruce Campbell? Bruce Willis?

Clearly they just wanted someone quippy, but kind to take Paula's seat and up the entertainment value of the judge.

Funny...I thought the performers were supposed to be the ones entertaining. The judges should be good enough just to be talent critics.

Yup, DeGeneres is going to be Paula Abdul's replacement for Season 9 of American Idol when it starts broadcasting January 2010. Reports indicate she signed a 5 year contract with the show.

Me too but whatever she wears I'll bet the show is better because of her. She is just funnier than Paula. :)

She has no music experience what so ever.
She's a comedian! She should stick to her day job.

I'd give her the benefit of the doubt. She loves music and she "knows what is special and has the 'it' factor," and so let's see. I look forward to seeing her exchange remarks with the other judges. One thing is sure though, she is going to draw crowds and can potentially increase the shows viewers.
