"You sounded a little pitchy."
"When you hit your falsetto is when you really shine."
"I believe you are a true artist."
When Ellen Degeneres says these comments as the new American Idol judge this season, are you really going to take her seriously? After all, judging musical talent as someone who has NO musical experience is going to be hard to take.
But knowing that the entertainment value and the laughs will only increase is why FOX made the wise move hiring Degeneres to replace the always-entertaining Paula Abdul.
Entering what feels like its 2nd decade of American Idol, it will undoubtedly need some intrigue to overshadow what will be a lesser tier of talent. (Seriously, what has Kris Allen done yet?)
So I fully support the decision to hire Degeneres. If you saw her as a guest judge on So You Think You Can Dance, you know how great she can be in the role of comic relief. And for those Paula Abdul fans like myself, it's a relief that her replacement is going to be someone of Ellen's caliber.
Even if it comes at the expense of ZERO credibility in the music industry, it's still the wise choice. C'mon, if Randy Jackson who has been in the business for all those years, can get away with just contributing "Yeah dawg! That was hot!" to the show, I think Ellen will be JUST fine.
