I was going back and forth on writing about this all day yesterday after I learned of the news, but not until my husband reacted to the news that the decision had been made. I was going to blog about this :)
"OMG", barked hubby after logging online last night. I was already surfing by this time. He asked me if I heard. He didn't have to complete the sentence for me to know what he's alluding to. Of course I knew. My husband does not watch American Idol on purpose. He had seen more than enough shows in the past to make him some sort of an "expert" on the subject, like we all are. I am the one that's been addicted to the show for a number of years now. I have the remote on days that AI is on so regardless of whether hubs was watching or not, he was in the same room each night AI was on.
Therefore, his negative reaction to the naming of Ellen as Abdul replacement is worth noting. He, however, doesn't care much for Paula Abdul. I don't either. As a matter of fact, whenever she speaks, I change the channel. Really. I don't have any patience to listen to her senseless babbling.
So let me break down to you why my hubs is against Ellen judging AI:
- She is not a singer.
- She is not a composer.
- She is not in the music biz.
- She will make a comedy out of the judging table.
- Therefore, she is totally unqualified to assume the post.
And my reasons why I love to have Ellen sitting on the panel:
- She will make more sense than Paula.
- She knows AI ~ being a fan of her show I know how much she loves AI.
- She will bring comic relief when the show gets boring, especially if this is a year when there are no outstanding contestants -- remember the season when Jordin Sparks won?
- I simply love her.
- Therefore, she is more than qualified to judge a singing contest.
So now that you know where we both stand and what's behind our stance, do you think Ellen is good for AI or not?
