Judging Judge Ellen
Ellen DeGeneresLast night Ellen DeGeneres had her debut on "American Idol." The debut went as to be expected --jokes because she is a funny comic and -- bitting comments-- because it is American Idol and she wants to fit in. Press reviews and fan feed back on the Internet are generally favorable. The Huffington Post sums up the reaction in general, "Debut Delights Fans."
Yeah, Ellen DeGeneres is funny, she is a working comic. I still wonder why she is sitting on "American Idol" as a judge. Anyway she officially replaced Paula Abdul last night, and that is that.
Simon Cowell is leaving at the end of this season. Rumor has it that he will be replaced by Howard Stern—hopefully that rumor will be only a trial balloon that crashes. This fan's open memo to "American Idol": Bringing in Howard Stern will be like pouring acid into you own bathwater.
A suggestion for what it is worth: The fans should get to vote on whether idol Judges stay after a year, so the fans will be able to boot out the bad ones.

Yeah, I hope that trial
Yeah, I hope that trial ballon crashes too. Is it even in his DNA to censor himself? Fox should be ready to have a 5 minute delay and a finger on the bleep button.

Howard Stern is a shock jock. His act is all about himself--front and center. "Idol" should be about the contestants.
