Lots of buzz has been stirring that comedian and television show host Ellen DeGeneres is not qualified to replace Paula Abdul as the newest judge on American Idol.
We think she’s more than qualified!!
So in true Ellen fashion, she addresses her AI critics on her show on Tuesday, saying:
“Apparently, there’s a lot of debate going on right now whether I’m qualified or not to be the new judge on American Idol…I know there is a lot chatter. I’ll tell you right now, how I know I’m going to be a great judge … I’ve spent my whole life being judged. So I know what it’s like…So I will be kind. I will be compassionate. I will be empathetic, and I will be truthful. I will be an honest judge without being mean. But the things that people are saying…I thought America had moved past this. First, we have the first African American President. We’ve sworn in our first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice. I think American Idol is ready for their first blonde judge … I do.”
Good for her! We’re excited to watch Ellen as the 4th judge on American Idol. She is going to add light-hearted humor as well as her honest and sweet opinion. It’s going to be a great addition to their current team of Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell, Kara DioGuardi and host Ryan Seacrest.
Besides, if you were offered the job, wouldn’t you take it?!! We would!!
