I have to admit, I’m not an American Idol watcher but I was pretty stunned to read this headline just now.
Ellen DeGeneres named 4th ‘American Idol’ judge
Seems like such a random gig for DeGeneres and correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think her music background is all that, um, existent but what do I know? I’ve never watched the show.
Hi Rich!
You are correct, she really doesn’t have a musical background. She was quoted as saying that she would be the judge that represents “everyday” people, or something along those lines. She also said she wouldn’t leave her talk show so she’s going to be BUSY!
Oh come on, Rich! What does a “musical background” really have to do with judging “American Idol” anyway?! At least Ellen will be entertaining to watch. I might actually watch the show with her on it.
This is true. And interestingly enough, you’re the third person to tell me you’d watch it now that she’s on. I’m even considering the same thing. OK, not really, but I might be compelled to watch a little longer while flipping channels to hear her comments.
i would have to say that Ellen Degeneres is really great in having her show, it is an informative tv show -.*
