It’s official; Ellen DeGeneres will be the new fourth judge on American Idol. The comedian has signed on as Paula Abdul’s replacement. According to a just released video, she will sit alongside Randy, Simon, and Kara.
I think she could bring some fresh new spunk to the show—plus she’s freakin’ hilarious. I doubt she has the musical know-how that Paula had, but Ellen does claim to be a major fan of the show. Here’s what she had to say about the new gig:
"I've watched since the beginning, and I've always been a huge fan. So getting this job is a dream come true, and think of all the money I'll save from not having to text in my vote."
She says she’ll be the people’s voice on Idol, and won’t look at the singers from a music producer’s point of view, but from a fan’s perspective.
Here’s a video about Ellen DeGeneres on American Idol:
The announcement that Ellen will be the new American Idol judge comes several weeks after Paula Abdul tweeted that she wouldn’t be returning to the show. Rumors had flown around about who might be her replacement, with Ellen being one of the most recent.
She’ll join the judges immediately following the audition portion of the show, which will only be judged by Simon, Kara, and Randy.
