Ellen joins 'Idol'

Posted by Jeff Hahne on Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 10:30 AM

They've announced Paula Abdul's replacement... and it's... Ellen?

That's right, they've replaced the incoherent blabbering of Abdul with a comedian/talk-show host. Great choice.

That's like putting David Hasselhoff as a judge of a talent competition. Oh, wait...

So, now you have record executive Simon Cowell — the only one who gives constructive criticism and tells it like it is, Randy Jackson — a former Journey bass player and record producer who prefers to just call everyone "dawg" and say "it was alright for me," Kara DioGuardi — a songwriter who wrote a horrendous first single for last season's winner, and Ellen who prefers to make jokes than offer any real opinion.

DeGeneres will sit on the judge's panel after the auditions are completed.

Nice choice, Idol. Looks like you've finally jumped the shark... (if Sanjaya's run didn't do it for you already).
