Great! We get to watch a queer judge that will judge over queer contestants.

As a non-viewer of AI, this is a surprisingly smart move by the Idol producers. People LIKE Ellen. Her talk show surpassed Oprah last year. She will stand in for the viewers on the panel, an Everybody type.

So I gather that never bothered you before from Cowell and Seacrest? Or do you simply find gay men more to your liking ?

>>>Ellen Degenerate onboard!!! My prayers have been answered. Mrs. Jazzy says “Buh-bye” to American Idol!!!

I wish that was so. The appeal of this show has always been bear-baiting. Cruelty to the exhibitionists who put themselves forward, and are really bad. Actually Ellen will probably tone that part down. Still I wish all these type shows would just go away. But really, “Ellen Degenerate”? Grade school playground name calling is so lame from adults.

I may be the only adult in the United States who has never watched a single episode of American Idol. All I can say is that this news will make me even less likely to start.
