Wow?! Really? I'm not sure what I think about this. I love Ellen, but...for Idol? I think this is actually a step down for her and I think she's risking a lot of overexposure.

I agree with you Ashley!  I know that Ellen loves that show (I've heard her talk about it on her show).  I've never watched AI so I don't know much, but don't you need to have some sort of musical background?

I guess they are saying that she's going to represent us "common people" that aren't in the music business and all that.....

I never thought about the overexposure she'll get!!  Plus I can't imagine her bantering with Simon and flirting like Paula used to - LOL. 

I am going to give her a try ;)  I do like Ellen.  I guess we'll have to wait and see!

I love Ellen too, but I don't think there should be anyone on the panel who can't tell if someone's singing out of tune, or who has no musical background at all. At least Paula Abdul had taken some singing lessons. The reason the panel is there is for expert feedback. IMO there's enough feedback from the common people already.

Just one more reason why I'm not watching it anymore.
