When asked if the talk show host would be a good replacement for Abdul, 55 percent of PopEater voters say no. Furthermore, when questioned if they thought it was fair that the singers would be judged by someone with no musical background, they answered that it was unfair.

Finally gave me a reason not to watch American Idol.
It will be the death of the show!

I agree - I am done with American Idol if Ellen is a judge
totally agree...this show is going down in flames...
Your a "Gator", I am sure you can figure that out...
It is absolutely ridiculous to have Ellen DG replace Paula Abdul. People on AI should be judged by someone who has some degree of musical background. Even though Paula, could be a handful and a half, she was OUR handful and a half. She knows about music. Ellen DOES NOT. Merely being a fan of music does not qualify Ellen (or me for tht matter) to sit on an AI judge's panel. It is beyond ridiculous. I don't like or dislike Ellen. It is sexist for AI to offer Simon and Ryan $$$, but when Paula asked for a fair amount, she was cast aside. Ellen dearest, stick to comedy. It's what you do best. I for one am boycotting the next season of American Idol. Hey Paula...you're the ONE! RC in Austin, Texas
I LOVE Ellen!!!!!!!!!! She is so real and genuine and also kind, just what idol needs to offset the cruelty dealt by the other judges. Plus she is funny and she is really a big fan of idol and of young people who have talent. Those of you who don;t kile her being on idol i have a question for you: Have you ever watched the Ellen show? She is really a nice person. I think that you all may be a little too concerned with the fact that she is honest about her sexuality. And whose business is that really? Really. What does that have to do with...anything, judging, caring, being honest...
We have been loyal fans for years. It ends now. The choice of Ellen is the WORST. You have lost two viewers.
Ellen? I'm done with Idol.
I am in total agreement. Ellen thinks she is cool but it not. Ewwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!
For sure I won't be watching it anymore.
i think ellen will bring down the show, she has no experience in the biss, plus she is very annoying, just like cara, paula is to good for the show.
This is just another way to move us to the left. Ellen has no business being on Idol, no background at all. It gives me hope that Citibank will hire me as CEO, even though I sell cars for a living presently.
cool!!! finally the end of something stupid!!!
I think its great that they got rid of Paula, I think Ellen will be great they need someone who is just the ordinary person and not associated with music. 99% of the people watching are like that. The show needed this. Go get em Ellen
You got that right. They had a good thing now they blew it>
It absolutely not will be the death of the show. If anything, it will bring some comedy to the show. There are four judges. One with a great sense of humor will be a welcomed change! I look forward to having Ellen as a judge!
Give Paula what she is worth, stop being cheap, I will not be watching this season
Is this a joke? She can't even carry a tune in a bag. good bye idol
You guys are all nuts. Who cares that Ellen's background is not in music. She will be the "every" person's voice. Paula was a train wreck!!! From someone who used to watch the show and has been bored, I think Ellen will bring a fresh view to things. Its not like Simon is musically inclined, but people like what he has to say.
Hmmmm, a little extreme. Even bad publicity is good publicity. I will be happy to watch, and I hope she proves everyone wrong.
