[...] anyone jumps to any conclusions about there being any animosity about Ellen taking over Paula’s old judge’s seat on American Idol, Paula clarified that she had nothing but love for the daytime talk show [...]

Look, Ellen is a funny person, she thinks she is funny,the producers think she is funny. Now that might be good for a variety show, but this is supposed to be a singing show, not look at the judges. All that will happen is the contestants will become less important, viewers will not be as vested and ratings will fall again and no one will understand why that happened, at least no one in volved in management. The ratings have fallen since this show has become more and more about the judges. Last year, they cut back the number of songs, who knows what they will do this year when they have to have a laugh track for Ellen as well as the jabbering of the other self important judges.

I still think it’s a joke that Fox wouldn’t pay Paula what she wanted! Ellen is a stupid replacement IMO – they should have just stuck with 3 judges: Randy, Kara and Simon.

This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. I will no longer be watching AI since it is becoming such a farce.

This really puzzled me, out of all that were mentioned before to replace Paula and this is who they get? Don’t get me wrong, I like Ellen just not for this, she doesn’t really have any experience. But I guess it doesn’t matter, I’m not going to watch anyways, but I thought they would have gone with another aritst.
