Oh wow...now I won't be tuning in at all.

Re: Ellen DeGeneres out as 'American Idol' judge
From the TMZ article:
We're told the show will be going back to a three-judge format and assuming all deals are finalized, the judge's panel will consist of Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. We're told the only way Kara could get a reprieve is if the J-Lo deal falls apart -- but we're told that deal is done. Ellen DeGeneres announced earlier Thursday that she was leaving the show after just one season. |
Re: Ellen DeGeneres out as 'American Idol' judge
Well, that's certainly a shake up. Never liked Ellen. Kara was ok, but she came off too preachy sometimes. Honestly, Simon was the show and I may bail because of his departure.

I can't imagine why anybody would watch Idol when The X Factor is going to be basically exactly the same show, but with the one reason to even watch a show like that, which is Simon. |

Re: Ellen DeGeneres out as 'American Idol' judge
Here's what I don't get. Auditions started last week. How can they be going through these machinations now? Shouldn't this all have been decided weeks, if not months, ago?
Who's sitting at the audition judges' table? |
Re: Ellen DeGeneres out as 'American Idol' judge
They should have hired Ben Folds - he was such an awesome judge on that a capella show (I forget the name already).

Re: Ellen DeGeneres out as 'American Idol' judge
They should've hired Lemmy Kilmister to replace Simon. He's British and brutally honest.

I hear that. The thing is, I've looked up her credits - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kara_DioGuardi_discography
I can't find one song that I've ever heard, or even heard of. I see familiar names like Ricky Martin, Jessica Simpson, Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Pink, etc. But I don't see she has written/co-written any of their 'hits'. Then again, I haven't found pop music to be very entertaining in the last ten years or so. It's either rap or meaningless bubblegum music that has no originality. That's the stuff she writes/produces, and there's apparently an audience for it, but it doesn't impress me at all. |

They don't actually meet the judges for awhile. What we see on TV is like the 2nd or 3rd cut.

Re: Ellen DeGeneres out as 'American Idol' judge
Too bad. With Simon checking out half the time, I thought Kara was the best judge last year. She certainly deserved to stay over Randy, but I guess he wins via seniority.

Re: Ellen DeGeneres out as 'American Idol' judge
Ok, that's enough screwing around. Time to get Gordon Ramsay's agent on the phone. Just tell him there's a Fox show Ramsay's not already on, and the deal will get done.

Re: Ellen DeGeneres out as 'American Idol' judge
That would be cool. Maybe American Idol would only last half as long cuz Gordon will get pissed and say "Shut it down. Piss off with ya" before the other shitty singers even get a chance to make fools of themselves.

CNN Crawl just now: Shania Twain in talks to judge American Idol.
