BREAKING NEWS: Ellen DeGeneres To Be New Judge On 'American Idol!'

OMG cant wait. Love Ellen, Love Idol.

I like Ellen. Think she's hilarious. But def not qualified to judge a singing contest!!!!!

WTF??? Ellen? She's funny, she likes to dance a little before her show, but is she qualified to be a judge for American Idol? I think not. At least Paula was a dancer/singer.

Wow! I think they got this one wrong. I love Ellen and she is hilarious to watch. BUT, what singing or vocal experience does she have?

love ellen, but as an idol judge, not so much. i thought this was a serious event/show not another sit-com. so much for reality.

I feel she will be a good asset to the show

I can't sing, but I can tell when someone can or can't.. whats your point?

What a brilliant choice.

I dont see what the problem would be with her judging, does the veiwers not get to vote, are the veiwers trained in music????? Its not hard to judge talent!! I think of it as her judging from a point of veiw of a person who is going to be purchasing new music. I think Ellen has fairly good taste in music and if she puts some one through its because she enjoys their sound and style..if that makes sense.

Ola Ellen Degeneres,Como esta você com este jeito tão hialirio posso imagina.Eu so tenho tenho para li dezer uma tese neste mundo virtual que vivemos meu ambiente não é nada adequado para os tempos de hoje aqui no País que me encontro não sou reembousado em nada até os dias de hoje, não pelo qual motivo e niquem se esclaresse com migo, nem se quer me derão meu e-mail tenho ludo contra o tempo pois me dar a emprensão uqe todos fazem questão de me fazer de otario.No mundo da mídia meu indisse de "IBP" é alarmante e todos fazem questão de ficarem terando proveito; bom se essa profissão rende fortuna aponto de ajirem de uma forma tão absurda meresso meu direitos autoras a ser bem reembousado. So mas uma tese gostaria de sair do País para um lugar onde seria bem mas reconhecido e não ficarem esufluindo do tão pouco que tenho e você sabe muito bem como era minha vida.

Too Bad I can think of a lot more, more qualified people to be a judge Dont think she will be fair to the men contestants. poor choice I will not be watching with her on it. why spoil a good show?

-Sorry, Ellen you are a great person but your appearances on "So You Think You Can Dance" showed that when you are best to stay with what you know. I can't help but think you thought this was a joke when they asked you. You know it is to boost ratings but it is a slap in the face to Paula et al who know the music business and actually have constructive advice as experts in their fields. It is also a decision that is an insult to the intelligent public who still had marginal faith in the judges expert opinions.
