Boy oh boy, that didn’t take long! Ellen said she didn’t feel is was the right fit for her. She didn’t like hurting people’s feelings and her schedule became more hectic etc…. Wonder if Simon leaving had anything to do with it? I will be hard pressed to watch anymore unless something magical happens. Could it also have something to do with Ellen starting her own record label???
Nigel Lythgoe, who is awesome IMHO, is being wooed to come back. If you watch So You Think You Can Dance, Nigel is a great judge. He won’t blow smoke up your dress but he can be very complimentary, when warranted etc… I would definitely tune in if Nigel came back!
Randy “you’re pitchy dawg” Jackson is still under contract…ugh…. Kara is year-to-year but she is ready for Season 10….don’t like her at all. No Simon and no Ellen. That sucks for viewers.
FOX better pull a rabbit out of their hat pronto!
TEAM NIGEL!

Honestly I thought Ellen was the worst thing ever to happen to that show. I tuned out very soon after the audition shows because of her. Does anyone else notice the strong resemblance between her and Alfred E. Neuman??
Anyway, it appears J. Lo has signed on as the next judge. Looks like I won’t be watching at all next season, either. http://news-briefs.ew.com/2010/07/29/jennifer-lopez-american-idol-judge/?hpt=T2
J. Lo….OMG the end is near!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guess I won’t be watching either.
Yes Chris, now that you mention it….Ellen does kinda look like Alfred E. Neuman….never thought about that but I got a visual in my head as soon as I read those words!
Freakin’ J. Lo….ugh!
