Ellen Replaces Paula on 'Idol'

ellen, you go girl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

eeewwwww

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!

Ellen cannot freakin dance she horses around to music
she just keeps up with the beat.She sure as hell can't sing.

Can any of the other judges sing? Or tell jokes or entertain?

Have fun at the show, Ellen.

Good luck, Heather

Paula did missy.

that's great!! She will make a great judge & won't take any crap from Simon.She will make fun of him & he won't have enough sense to know she is serious.I love it.Simon will have met more than his match this time.LOL

she will do great ! can't wait! she knows talent, & will disagree w/Simon...ha ha ..

Interesting, but she doesn't have a musical background, does she?

Sorry to see Paula go, but Ellen should be a good foil to Simon. She's about as nice a person as anyone can imagine, and at least Simon and Ellen won't be kissing. It was always a little icky to see that happening between Paula and Simon.

She'll add a refreshing dimension, and she's so funny. Way to go Ellen.
She is one of the few celebrities who doesn't have to work at "keeping it real". She just is. Ellen is every-man... or every-woman.

I think Ellen is a good choice for the producers but not the ideal for replace Paula.
I think too, that the producers need someone that be loved for the public and Ellen is.
She is so simpatic and is really sure that we are going to laugh too much with her.
Poor Simon, He will be angry...

YAY for Ellen! I have loved Paula and feel split about saying yay for Ellen– but if they were gonig to replace Paula, I think Ellen is a PERFECT choice! Yipeeeeeee! One thing Ellen knows well - that's music!

Are the execs at American Idol nuts? Ellen Degen as a Judge??? get real....the show was solid as a triple trio of randy, paula and simon...
paula was worth way more than the gay-boy-toy-host in ryan seacast....bummer...idol so wont be the same....time to point n click...next....

Ellen is going to bring a wonderful & positive change to Idol. Idol was getting boring the last few seasons because I always knew what Paula was going to/or try to say. Ellen will bring in personality, fun, good challenges to Simon and her experience with talking with everyday people is a talent in itself. I will be watching Idol all next season just to hear what Ellen has to say. Smart decision Fox.

And just what qualifies Ellen to be a judge of musical talent? She is so annoying. I for one will not be watching.

I think she will be great! She is definitely an overall entertainer. I love it.

Great! I love her! She will bring comedic relief to the show! Can't wait!

Congrats Ellen!! I used to watch the "American Idol" when there were only 3 judges but look forward to the new season of the show.

Ellen great choice she will entertain us and have comedic groove to the show i can't wait to see this .

I have never watched American Idol but might now with Ellen Degeneres as a judge. She is really fun.

Ellen will bring a lot of fun to the competition, she is a very jovial person,we are not here to judge her, the public is here to support the competition. Iam a Idol Fan and will continue to watsh and support the program . I also wish Paula Abdul well in her endevors.

I hated to see Paula go but I agree she will be a good replacement and I'll watch the show.

Who.......cares!!!!!
