  • OMG! Some ppl are just plain stupid! You don't have to be some high end, mega singer to spot singing talent! My grandma is tone def and she still knows a singer when she hears one!

  • No, no, no :)

  • I have to admit when I first heard that Ellen was gonna be an idol judge I was pretty excited and was sure she would be perfect for it. But after her appearnce on idol last year I felt that maybe I was wrong. As much as I love Ellen and think she's hilarious, she really didn't add anything at all to the show or make it more interesting (ironic I know). I think she made the right decision to quit the show.

  • Too bad she left :S Season 10 is better than the 9th

  • Well... I started watching and caring CUZ of Ellen. No more cuz there is no Ellen. Period. Don't care about whiny teens singing lame songs, haha

  • She announced today she's quit American Idol. If that's the case, then I have one thing to say.

    BRING BACK PAULA ABDUL!!!!!!!!!!

    And while they're at it, get rid of Kara "mellowdramatic" DioGuardi, and replace her with no one!

  • AMERICAN IDOL SUCKS Britain got talent IS BETTER THEN american idol

  • @SaberTanker22 they both suck

  • another reason to watch american idol!!! yay!!!

  • Ellen, I love you so much =DD your so amazing :333

  • she sucks as a judge but shes still funny

  • Ellen Degeneres is a JOKE. she looks like one of the 7 dwarfs in Snow White

  • I bet u anything that ellen was not approach by american idol to be a judge, I bet she went up the producers and told them she wanted the spot on american idol only thinking of her person agenda (what she wants) but that what she always does in her life, to get things done her way, american idol ratings will go down until ellen leaves, and is replace with someone who is a lagit judge until then, good luck

  • well anyway, MY american idol is Ellen Degeneres and no one else ;)

  • love ellen like crazy but as a judge she is horrible!!

  • who is the fuckin dumbass who picked her to be a judge? she sucks

  • I like her but shes not a good judge

  • hahah that tony guy is cute!

  • So how much do you think American Idol will decline after Simon's departure?

  • how does she have any expertise in what makes a good musical artist?

  • @thelegendarymotmot

    well a) she knows how it eels to stand infront of an audience and try to please them

    b) she is like the public we dont all know how good a note sounds so its like the public ear ANDE BTW SHE DOES KNOW:(

  • in that case just about anybody in the audience would make an equally good judge

  • so what, all the judges dont know shit either..as long as she's funny

  • Don't get me wrong, I loved Ellen as Jerri Blank in Strangers With Candy, but she's a comedian! What is supposed to make her an expert on musicians?

  • hahahahahaha that wasn't her, that was Amy Sedaris.

  • the way she's looking these days, I can't really tell the difference!

  • she comes off as an annoying rambling robot, she's terrible.

  • I have no problem with Ellen, but American Idol is a serious show for many.

    Ellen seems to bring a comical atmosphere to the show, and most of the times rambles and rambles when talking to a contestant without focusing on improvement or rhythm. If Ellen is on the show, then i might as well too, because she is just commenting on how they sound, while the other judges KNOW what they are talking about.

    Bring Paula back :(

  • I hate Idol.

    But I like Simon Cowell and I would watch it if Howard Stern replaced him.

  • no way menn American Idol is way to low for Ellen.

  • ellen has no talent,no point of view,and no credibility,shes killing this lame show,although it was already dying and will be gone as soon as simon leaves.

  • The first two shows she was funny. On that last show, she is too serious and agrees with the other judges way too much. She's not following her instincts but is trying to be way too judgemental like the other judges.

  • Comment removed

  • Hey!!!  She DOES have experience singing!!! Think Finding Nemo!!! Just keep swimming.. Just keep swiming, swimming, swimming....

  • No eating here tonight

    No eating here tonight

    No, no, no,no eating here tonight!

    You're on a diet! :D:D

  • lol...  yeah! I forgot about that song!!

  • she maybe cant sing, but she knows if people have a good voice ^^

  • she and a billion more ppl, get at least someone related to music, producer, singer, music on tv and/or radio... smth

    these 2:37 of this video is just to laugh at

  • ellen shouldnt be on American Idol. she cant sing or dance. she has no rhythm. I will never watch it again.

  • I think at least a professional singer shld be the judge???? Can she sing???

  • she is not a good juude

  • do you think we care about ur meanings?

  • @RepreJuse4 - Well YOU must care, otherwise why take the time to respond to my post?

    The Olympics beat American Idol, first time in years. With Ellen as judge, & Simon gone, the show is going down the toilet. Anybody who has watched Ellen's performance, look me in the eyes & tell me she's good at this. She sucks. She barely talks, & when she does, she doesn't have anything insightful to say. Don't confuse being nice with being funny & being smart. Ellen is neither funny nor smart.

  • *** new artist

    ***new song

    just put in: Alone Joe ft.Famous

    don't forget to comment

  • great

  • I love ellen but I don't understand why she's being recruited for idol...She has no music background nor any actual performance/singing history...can someone explain to me why this is in any way a logical move besides attracting a greater audience?

  • As she said when they interviewed her at the start "I know I don't have experience in singing, but I have experience in standing on stage in front of a room full of people and trying to please everyone"

  • Comment removed

  • It would have been nice for them to have kept 2male judges & 1 female. Now, with Ellen being on board as a judge, they'll have 3 males . Wow. Not good

  • Ellen couldn't even keep in beat the few times I accidentally tuned in & saw her running around her studio. Plus, she has absolutely No Music Background. They must be trying to recruit a certain audience, And I don't value nor respect her Opinion. Pllzzee.

  • @esquireyes

    So....alot of people who watch american idol dont have musical backrounds, its not like you cant tell someone isnt that good at singing....its logic

  • It's not a Pizza Contest.

  • @esquireyes

    No shit sherlock

  • Whatever

  • @esquireyes Ellen may not have any music background but she can spot a talent when she she's it

  • I love Ellen! However, I think it's more fit for her to judge America's Got Talent, even though that's not half as popular...

  • this is the biggest fuck up in american idol history. they were already on the rocks for having four judges. now only sters and queers judge who gives the best blow jobs. This judges dont know shit about singing. that show is going down. i should thank her for nailing the coffin of that boring show. so i will write no more futher letters.

  • Nothing against Ellen. I don't agree that she should judge on Idol. The greater question is why Ellen was chosen. She was chosen solely due to of her sexual orientation, to stir up the media. Nothing to do with judging singing. A judge MUST have a high level of experience & SUCCESS in the industry (i.e.Randy,Paula,Simon) It's difficult to maintain the level of success that Idol has achieved. The producers must feel the more press the better. It's likely the show will fade after Simon anyway

  • I like Ellen. She looks like a fun person to be around.

  • LOL I can just imagine her jumping up on stage and dancing!!!!!! I pretty sure that she might do that though!!!

  • Huh? Why is she going to be a judge.. Every judge (including guests) have had SOMETHING to do with music. Now this? Just b/c she has a history as a funny comedian? Bad bad bad... Now if a gay person in the top 12 gets voted off, she will call out her buddies in GLAAD to attack.. Great idea, AI

  • @svguerin3

    Obviously you didn't listen to the video properly. Ellen stated herself that she's "not looking at it in a critical way from the producer's mind, [she's] looking at it as a person who's going to buy the music and who's going to relate to that person.". You should also know that your second portion of your comment is painfully stereotypical, and although I'm not gay, I feel disgusted at your audacity.

  • @svguerin3 Ellen used to be involved in the music industry for AWHILE in the 90's. She was the host of the Grammy Awards during that time period. Search for Ellen Grammy and you will see. Jeesh do some research before making yourself look foolish.

  • ok, thanks!! i didnt hear that part lol. =D

  • orz

  • if shes the new judge, how come she hasnt been on the show???? im confused. :/

  • @lotrfreakkk not until hollywood week. The auditions were pre recorded this summer.

  • she will after auditions....u can watch her on feb 9th....

  • @FlackeyR yay she will add more funk to the show!

  • @lotrfreakkk shes on the show after the auditions she was on last night

  • What's with the Standing Ovation? Please Reply

  • @mailxxman when everyone stands up to applaud:P

  • @sophiaenigma why did they?

  • @mailxxman cuz they're excited? :D haha

  • @FreeWhoopin1390 oh pleas, you are souch a hudge JERK, I love ellen she's great, it' sad that simon is leaving but ellen is ameazing and you don't know what you're talking about it's gonna' be great. Hallooo the McNasty lezbo do you actoually think you're cleaver, that is jut a rude incorrect hateful thing to say. I don't even have words for people like you.........GO ELLEN; YOU'RE THE BEST, LOVE YA'

  • she will after auditions...u can see her after feb. 9th onwards....

  • go ellen

  • All the people saying "she doesn't have muscial experience" whos cares! Do you? Does every American Idol voter have to have musical knowledge and experience? Are their opinions invalid because they don't? NO! Ultimately the winner is decided by millins of people who don't have musical backgrounds, so why does a judge have to have one? Do you always vote the way the judges say or something? If you just hate Ellen ignore her opinions

  • I think I'll watch the AI this season because of you, Ellen!!!!!

  • WHERE WAS ELLEN ON THE SHOW!?!?!?!?

  • then y wuz victoria beckham on american idol as the judge last nite???

  • You know, I thought Paula leaving would change the dynamic of the show for the worse. It turns out I didn't even miss her last night. Maybe her leaving was a good thing, after all.

    I still hold my opinion about Ellen until I see her in action.

  • yayayayayayay i ammm sooo happpy its going to be soo good

  • whhhhereee was she???

  • 1st paula then simon. Who's next to leave AI.

  • Ellen D? WTF! I can understand why it's Ellen but aMERICAN iDOL can do better in my opinion. You want a public figure judge? At least pick someone who has both the popularity and musicality. this is just wrong.

  • They are haveing guest judges for auiditions then she is comeing in after them

  • um... im watching the first episode.

    WHERE IS ELLEN?!?!?!?!?!?!?

  • same here lol wtf

  • Omg, that's what I thought! I was like FREAKING OUT! I love Ellen!

  • she comes when they get to the big stage. The live shows

  • @treemoka oohhh ok thanks man. phew i was worried for a second

  • no problem!

  • does she stay on all season ?!!?!?!?!

  • yes

  • and the crowd goes wilddddd x]

  • when exactly is the new season of idol?

  • Jan. 12th & 13th. Can't wait! I hope Ellen is on the first episode!

  • yay

  • As Christian Bale said"OH GOOD FOR YOU!".LOL

  • wow! i hope she will done well in judging in american idol! but Ms. Paula abdul is the best for me no else can replace her!

  • Ellen is the funniest woman on television since Carol Burnett. Im so glad her show is doing well. Its too bad the GAY community almost ruined her career trying to make her some kind of poster child. With all that crap in the past...I hope she does well on american idol.

  • its good that ellen is going to be a new judge. american idol doesnt need any more judges with music experience and whatnot because all they look for is people with perfect voices thus making everyone on the show sound the same.. there are plenty of other people that have amazing and unique voices that the judges with music experience probably wont like but ellen probably will... american idol is going to be completely different now that ellen is on board!

  • jorge, but when you let non-experienced people judge then we end up with USELESS WINNERS LIKE ALLEN OR TAYLOR HICKS...sorry..but America SUCKS WHEN IT COMES TO KNOWING WHO HAS WHAT IT TAKES...sorry..it's the truth..

  • Start living in the 21st century asshat

  • I'd rather have a person like Ellen with no skill in music judge then music producers and such. Ellen is the voice of America. What she will say we probably would say to the singer.

  • wiseguy, hate to say it. but the common AMERICAN DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A STAR AND PICKS WINNERS LIKE TAYLOR HICKS AND ALLEN.

  • So what. Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. It doesn't matter really, no matter what you say America is the people who will vote and we need to be represented. Even if we don't pick stars, doesn't matter, we need a judge that represents us. And that is Ellen.

  • wise, I just don't see ellen being a good choice..don't get me wrong..I like ellen, but as a judge??? what credentials does she have? just not a good choice...

  • You're either ignorant or stupid. My post explained it all! She doesn't have credentials because she represents AMERICA! The people who vote. That what she is there for to speak for the whole American people who doesnt have credentials but vote!

    Why do I explain myself to you. You obviously don't get it.

  • wiseguy, I must be stupid..but you will see, this won't work..and it's just TACKY...just like you I guess...TACKY.

  • If I use your logic, that means I would let a Foot Surgeon operate on my Brain. I don't think so. Peace

  • YOU DONT GET IT! She doesnt have musical background that is why she got pick! Because she represents the viewers at home, us. It's you going to judge contestants. Just like we do at home. Duh.

  • Shooting is rude, not necessary & you don't need to go there. I understand you perfectly & simply do not agree. It;s just that simple.We,the public, are not qualified to chose actors, actresses nor the Next American Idol. So, let's just agree to disagree. Peace

  • Nonsense! Ellen does not speak for the average American.

  • You know who does... Howard Stern.

  • Ellen has such a gorgeous smile.

    With new stem cell technology, they can create a sperm from Portia's stem cells and impregnate Ellen. (Seriously. This is true.)

    ELLEN, HAVE PORTIA'S BABIES!!!

  • She is so happy.

  • atleast theyve still got simon

  • Simon isn't really qualified to judge singing either. He has admitted he cannot read music. He does not write music. His comments seldom have anything to do with music but how the contestant is coming across. He knows how to be successful commercially by signing bland pop acts we've all seen a million times. I think Ellen's comments will reflect what normal people at home are thinking as opposed to what overpaid music biz. officials are.

  • she is great she knows she is not a person with much musical background and admits it, she is amazing and im glad she is gonna be the new judge, i have always been a super fan of american idol, but now im a gonna have another great reason to watch it

    i love ya ellen!!!!

  • Yea- since the judges are the ones we are buying music from.

  • I won't watch the show anymore with her being a judge. No musical experience, she will be biased against religious performers..way too controversial. This will hurt viewership big time.

  • maybe is not a coincidence that ellen always parises kelly calrkson and her music, and kelly feels confortable there and kelly always said that, and kely said that for sure ellen is going to make a great support there for contestants

  • ellen,,,,,,,,,,,will wait 4 u there, and hoping give justice to the voice of CHARICE by guesting there.

  • shes replacing paula abdul, wut did u expect? i still think Paula is a WAYYY better canidate for the show.

  • OMG finally a reason for me to watch American Idol. If only I still had a TV. Damn. But I loooove Ellen, she's going to make that show ten times better. :D

  • haha if only i had a tv.

  • And she admits that she's not an expert but I think it's important to hear the opinion of a "lay" person, as she says she will be looking at the performances as a person who will buy a music.

  • until a fight for rights is over then its a really necessary release to hear her joke about the topic in a kind light

  • Ellen is in the "world of show" and knows what looks good and sounds good. You don't have to be an expert in music, films, different kinds of art to be able to decide what you like.

    And I think what bothers you the most is that you feel it's unfair that a L can be this successful, happy and beloved by thousands of people.

  • LMAO!! wit her on AI,i bet d show is gonna b funny as hell!!!

  • ellen would be great

  • it's gonna be wonderful , but the only thing that worries me is that will she be able to judge , I mean in terms of music , afinition among others.??

  • I love ellen and she's gonna be great. But it's not the same without Paula..

  • i´m gonna watch:D

  • OMFG I HAVE TO SEE AMERICAN IDOL XDDDDDD When is the new American Idol show starting? Can't wait!

  • I cant stand KARA! ugh! she is just too full-of herself, and she thinks she knows everything! ellen should have took her place not paula's.

    but ellen will do great!!

    i cant wait for season 9!

  • "Ellen, I'm happy for you. I'mma let you finish, but Paula was one of the best American Idol judges of All Time! Of All Time!" - Kanye West (2009)

  • fuck you!!!!!

    GO ELLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • LOL!!!!

  • Thanks for getting it, McKillaz lol.

  • shit! I'm gonna have to watch the show again now...

  • YES that's exactly who I meant, Kara, the show was much better with 3 judges. Especially with Kara being the 4th, she ramblies, on and on, she drives be nuts, as I said, I always put my TV on mute, when she opens her mouth, I don't have any interest in what she as to say. She knows the show always runs of time, since she takes so much time giving or long winded opinions, doesn't seem to bother her !!!!!!!!!

    .

  • This is sooo Awesome!!! I cant wait to see American Idol now!! Hurry Up JANUARY!! :D

  • YAY IM SOOO HAPPY! now im actually going to watch that show just to see her!

  • That's awesome, but I will greatly miss Paula, and her "person", Ellen is hilarious, but she doesnt know music like Simon, Randy, and Paula. Lets get rid of that other judge, you know who im talkin bout...

  • hell yea!

    nw they just need to kick kara off

  • I can't stand Kara either. They need to go back to just three judges. She just drags on and on ..and the way she would hang on Paula? Ellen might punch her arse out!..LOL

  • yes! i love her

  • she looks so happy!!! =) this makes me happy! ahaha. but omg! i hope those weird contestants with hot tempers won't be mean to her.. =\

  • All right we got ourselves our new judge of american idol!WHOO!

  • whoah! ellen on idol.. this is gonna be awesome. i can't wait for january 2010.. xD

  • I was, as I'm sure others were, NOT watching this season's show, because I just can't take Tara's Big and LONG winded mouth, and her attitude. She really has a high opinion of herself. But Ellen, as a new judge, does it for me. I'll do as I did last season, when Tara flaps her gums, my TV goes on mute. I will miss Paula, the producers HAD to get someone BIG to replace her. They wouldn't mess around with Simon, cause if he left, their would be no American Idol.

  • do you mean Kara . .

  • YES, that's exactly who I meant, please see comment below.

  • YES I DO
