Ellen Out as ‘Idol’ Judge

Ellen DeGeneres is dancing off 'American Idol' after one season. If Fox's hit show intends to revamp itself to stem a ratings slide, it has the opportunity to bring in two new faces for season 10 in January.

good, she was just in the way.

dennisl59   July 30th, 2010 - 8:08 am

The same Morons that gave her the job in the first place are still there; expect more of the same. Idol is Dead.

If I want subliminal p.c. "multiculturalism" I'll watch CNN, a Disney movie, or read a textbook. They should just hire one transsexual mulatto and then they wouldn't need the token white guy, black guy, woman, and homosexual. It would certainly save them money.

I imagine when they picked judges the conversation was, "Okay, we need to cover gender, race, and sexual orientation since this is "American" Idol. Find me a white guy that sounds intelligent, a black guy that sounds urban, a woman (preferably Latino), and an endearing non-flamboyant homosexual that won't offend people." When it should have been, "This is a singing competition, we need to find the best judges we can."

Actually she may be no technical expert, but she consistently finds talented performers just from youtube videos and brings them to her own show. She's had all the young talented kids from Britain, America, etc, Got Talent appear after seeing their youtube videos, and other "talent" shows as well.

In that respect she is true to her statement she likes encouraging young performers and likes helping them get their name and talent before the public via her show. I can also see how it would be hard to criticize someone on camera in front of a huge audience…..we can't all be Simon, lol, and she was obviously more interested in finding obviously talented performers and introducing them to her viewers. Nothing wrong with that.

I do find the references to her sexual orientation both out of place on this article and just cheap shots.

Do what you like. I think she's a talented, principled person who has done no harm to anyone that I can see and really helped many talented people through their appearances on her TV show.

Oh and uh…Rangle is a real life heretosexual.

So is Pelosi.

Color me SO VERY relieved we don't have gays in their jobs…whew, talk about dodgin a bullet!!!

She has no talent and therefore cannot judge talent. I have never heard her sing or seen her dance or play the piano. Just what does she do for a living?
And that forced S-Eating Grin which is her trademark is so ugly it makes me laugh but for all the wrong reasons.

Rover_Bump   July 30th, 2010 - 3:55 pm

Bye-bye, Ellen Degenerate.

patriot5257   July 30th, 2010 - 3:56 pm

So as not to hurt everyones feelings, let's give them all a trophy, proclaim them all as the winner, do away with the word competition, and give all 6000 contestants(oops, this is not a contest), lets call them equal participants, a singing contract. Now, no one gets their feelings hurt and ellie can go about business of luring little girls into her dressing room! At least that is what the national education association and dept of edumacation would recommend. While they are at it, maybe they can round up some illegal aliens to appear and have them sing somewhere over the rainbow in spanish, maybe that would boost their self esteem and help them through this turbulant time that is upon them!

RightWingStuff   July 30th, 2010 - 4:09 pm

They still need a cross-dressing nun to complete the line-up.

Subsalior   July 30th, 2010 - 4:26 pm

Oh no ! Say it ain't so….please….

My favorite "carpet-muncher" is gone ?

What ever will we do ?

patriot5257   July 30th, 2010 - 4:38 pm

Yep, we have lost a national icon with the moving on of ellie, we will get through this though!

Nodhimmi   July 30th, 2010 - 5:02 pm

Doing what?

doubldwn   July 30th, 2010 - 5:12 pm

What a crock. Her success means there are tens of thousands of other would be hopeful actress that failed. Does she comprehend that for every winner there are thousands of losers? Does she not believe that failing develops character? What makes someone push on? What provides motivation and separates the strong from the weak?

In the face of failure, having the courage to get back up and move forward is what builds character. This world is logical – not one built on emotions.

leroitroisieme   July 30th, 2010 - 5:40 pm

Yet, she goes out and calls Conservative bigots or whatever terminology she uses to denigrate people who oppose her political views.

tracecreek   July 30th, 2010 - 5:43 pm

I am sick of Ellen the Degenerate and hope that she leaves TV and teenagers alone. She is just plain creepy. I don't watch anything she does. I don't feel that way about other gay or lesbian people – just those who try to impose their beliefs on younger people.

Nodhimmi   July 30th, 2010 - 6:20 pm

She was certainly eating something, and lots of it.

wilmac   July 30th, 2010 - 7:12 pm

I'm sure she thought it was doing damage to her MS. NICE guy trade mark.,

strictly a business decision.

what? Huh? Is this news? Glad to see the media understands the real concerns for this county.

I just had a brilliant flash!How 'bout a real musician as a judge?

handleit   July 30th, 2010 - 5:25 pm

Good bye Ellen. May your back go out at least once a month. What is causing that by the way? Could it have something to do with your freekish behavior when the cameras are off? Hollywood trash !
