What did you think of Ellen DeGeneres’ debut as an “American Idol” judge?
What did you think of Ellen DeGeneres’ debut as an “American Idol” judge?
LATISH WEEKS, Dayton: “She’s doing good so far. She keeps it honest and open with the contestants, and she tells them what they really need to work on.”
CHRIS DAVIS, Fairborn: “She’s pretty cool and legit. Since she has her own show, I thought she’d just try to be comical and not take it seriously. But when people perform, she gives really good feedback and has a good way of letting people down without hurting their feelings.”
TREVON CALDWELL, Xenia: “She doesn’t know what she’s doing. She’s never done anything with music before. It’s kind of bad to judge someone on how they sing if you’ve never done it.”
MEGAN REED, Dayton: “I like her. I think she’s funny. She’s a good judge.”
J.G. CONLEY, Washington C.H.: “She’s all right. I think she’s done a good job for not having any musical background like the rest of the judges have.”

I don’t think she is in a position to judge anyone.

EG is overexposed and brings nothing to the show. She’s not insightful; not funny; not helping! She’s boring! Bring back the guest judges!

She is worthless as a judge. The producers only have her there to boost ratings, hoping anyone will tune in to watch a freak show.

Bland. No energy. No life. No electricity on the panel when she speaks. Didn’t expect a comedy routine every week, but the performance has no life to it and is a dud!

I don’t know if I believe that or not Trevon. It seems kind of refreshing just to have an Average person be a judge. She’s no expert, but she knows what she likes to hear. I could go either way I think.

I liked Paula better. Somehow it’s not funny coming out of Ellen’s mouth that you aren’t a good enough singer. And what does she know about singing or performing? She’s a comedian, not a singer. She can appreciate singing, but can she intelligently comment on it? She sounds like she’s immitating the others’ comments. She’s out of her element imo.
