new American Idol

When Paula decided to leave American Idol I decided I was not going to watch the show ever again. Mainly because I felt the shows producers were not giving her the money she wanted meanwhile they gave it to the guys. I thought that was so unfail. Then when I heard that Ellen was going to be the new judge I was so excited and happy. She has said on her show that she will be a judge for the audience. She also said if Simon is rude to the contestants she would call him on it. So I really think its going to be both fun and interesting. I really can't wait for the show to start.

I love to watch American Idol. So many talented singers have come from this show. One of my favorite parts of the show is the bantering between Simon and paula. I will miss her on the show. it just won't be the same without her.

We will all miss Paula Abdul .. I have read that news in the internet and I am saddened that she will no longer be part of teh American Idol. I don't like Kara, last year's fourth judge. .. I hope Ellen be good. We will judge wait and see till the next season will start.

Lol, without Paula Abdul it isn't really American Idol. I stopped watching it a long time ago, though. Why? It got awfully repetitive and the singers just weren't as interesting as they used to be. I bet the ratings for the show will drop dramastically however, I don't see it going anywhere any time soon. They make way too much off of a lot of different people and have plenty of sponsers to keep them alive. I actually think they should have got rid of American Idol, it's way past due already. I don't see any feuds between him and and Ellen, but hey. Who knows. Maybe if their ratings plummet they might pay her and Simon extra to nag at eachother. Either that or it'll be a Simon and that other guy arguing all the time. Just wouldn't be the same though, aha. Oh well. I never planned on watching it again anyways, :p

It was getting to the point where I wanted to leave the room when it was Paula's turn to talk. She never had anything useful to say to the contestants - if she didn't like a performance, instead of critiquing it and helping the contestant improve, she'd get all gooey and tell them "You are a beautiful soul," or something equally unhelpful - and she couldn't ignore Simon. He needled her because she allowed him to. If she would have just ignored his snide comments, the way Kara and Randy do, he wouldn't have made nearly as many of them. He did it just to get a reaction from her because her reactions were soooooooooooooo over the top outrageous. Personally, I'm glad she's gone. I don't really think they needed to replace her and I'm not sure what kind of knowledge Ellen has about music but I'm glad Paula and her spoiled child routine are off the show.

Hi ringbearer, American Idol is the only reality show that I follow and look forward to every season. While I like Paula's presence there, I personally feel she's not helping the show or any of the contestants with her sugar-coated but empty remarks. Ellen would bring a fresh new look to the show, and I am already excited at how she will make her presence felt as she joins the other 3 judges. Kara made it with flying colors when she made her debut last year, I hope Ellen will do just as good.

I don't like Ellen and I don't think she is a good fit for American Idol. She isn't a singer but of course neither is Simon or Randy but Randy is a music producer. I still don't think she is a good fit. She is funny though so it might be good for laughs on there but I think that is all she will be good for. I don't see how she qualifies to be a judge. I don't know, that is just my opinion. As for it being better or worse, not sure. Guess we will have to see! :)

Thank you for the best response nod. Have a great evening and week to come.

It will be different having Ellen on American Idol and I am sure she will make it interesting and not take anything off of Simon. I liked Paula Abdul and will miss her and Simon's fueding. We will just have to wait and see what will happen and if the fans of American Idol like the change.

I wonder why they choose Ellen to fill in Paula's position because she does not have any acomplishment in the music industry. Anyway, I know she will not sit there and watch Simon continue with his nasty comments

I think Paula made a real difference in the show. She was the nice one but she had this love hate relationship with Simon that made things interesting. As with Ellen, well, there's the issue of her being gay which I know doesn't sit well to the majority of society. I am not against her lifestyle choice. I really could care less so I'm wondering how is it going to affect the show as a whole. Yeah, the whole thing about Drey Carey on the price is right sort of threw me off there but well, he seems to be doing pretty well. I'd be interested in seeing what happens in the coming season of AI. I don't have much of an opinion right now other than I am curious. That's all.
