I cant believe this would be serious. I would think they would want someone who has been in the music industry at least. That would be like me being a judge..call me next simon.

YAY YAY YAY!

I'm torn in saying that because Paula really was ousted--rudely--when she was on the ground floor of creating the show.

But I'm also a HUGE Ellen fan! So YAY! Go Ellen Go Ellen!

OMG what the HELL.. she is a great person just not for this show why don't they just go back and get paula? Ellen has no real musical backround at all.. how is she poised to give any body info or teach about the music bizz? she's not.. but ummm ok what ever floats fox's boat..best part of the show is the auditions...
