Ellen DeGeneres Joins Idol Panel

2009-09-10 by fromtheinside | 46 Comments
Comedienne and syndicated talk show host Ellen Degeneres has surprisingly been named as Paula Abdul's replacement on the American Idol judging panel.

Abdul announced earlier this summer that she would not continue her role on the judging panel- a role she'd held since the show's inception- for the ninth season of Idol, which is scheduled to begin broadcasting on Fox-affiliated stations in January of 2010.

DeGeneres beat out competition from the likes of Katy Perry, Posh Spice, Mary J. Blige, Kristin Chenoweth, Shania Twain, and Neil Patrick Harris- all of whom were auditioned by the show's producers.

Forgive my lack of knowledge here, but has she got anything to do with music at all?

they really shoulda picked Posh Spice, that could've been hilarious. Ellen is an awful choice.

and to answer your question Davey...nope. her musical knowledge is at zero.

i'm sorry, but you have me confused with some other sputnik user; it's Raphael the Raven.

you are forgiven, but yeah, she should definitely add some humour to the show.

Interesting choice... despite her complete lack of musical knowledge.

Then again, just because Paula made music doesn't mean she had that much knowledge about it either... or anything for that matter.

This is all a scheme for the next american treasure movie, the plot revolves around the secrets of a gay/lesbian masonic society formed by the great grandfather of ryan seacrest.

haven't we learned by now? being an Idol judge never had anything to do with having musical validity. Lame black dude? 80's Choreographer? Stingey British guy? Now a daytime boyish woman. Who gives a shit
