Ellen and Ryan Seacrest Talk about Ellen’s ‘American Idol’ News! – The Ellen DeGeneres Show

There are lots of people who do not support Ellen DeGeneres as a judge on American Idol – replacing Paula Abdul.

I have always found that change can be easy to resist – and most of the time we anticipate change as being bad. However, I think there is potential for Ellen as a judge. I think she will have strong opinions (if anyone has watched her daytime show – she does critique performances fairly well). I do think she will fill the role of Paula in being supportive of contestants as she comes across as being a caring person who wants to be softer in her critiques.

My opinion is that we should watch and see what happens. I think it will likely take a few weeks for Ellen to gain confidence in her responses. Who knows? It could be a train wreck – especially for all of the Paula Abdul fans who will compare the two. But I, for one, would like to give Ellen a chance – to see what she can do and if she can be a judge rather than talk show host or comedian. I believe she has it in her and she does seem quite excited about the opportunity.
