Ellen Talks Her First Year On Idol & Her Future With The Show
The addition of Ellen DeGeneres to the American Idol judges table was just one of the huge changes the show faced this year.
All and all, it wasn't the best season, but reflecting on it, Ellen can now speak on how things will change for her next year and what her role will be on the show from here on out.
When asked about her first year on the show, Ellen admits that there was a lot of time figuring out her place on the judge's table, but that she has a better understanding of what she'll be doing from here on out:
"Your first year anywhere is going to be tough, because you're trying to figure out what your role is. I think next year my role will be to be exactly who I am, sometimes funny and sometimes serious, and I think I'll probably learn to be a little harder on people without being rude. But I think it was a fine line for me to walk this year."
Probably what made her first year so tough was the excessive focus on Simon Cowell's departure from the show, overshadowing her arrival by A LOT. And she knows it too:
"It's always been Simon's show. There's a whole dynamic there. You want to be respectful, and it was his last year, and so a lot was going on that needed to happen. I think next year will be a different year."
Safe to say she'll be happy that he is gone, yeah?
But now she has Simon's replacement to worry about.
Hey girl! You know who would do a killer job and never steal any of your spotlight?
PEREZ! PEREZ! PEREZ! PEREZ!
Hook us up, Ellen! Put in a good word for us!!!

Perez, you will never be on AI. Shut the fuck up.
No one wants a Blue haired TONE Deaf Moron on AI.

Re: ***MUST***KILL***GAGA*** – lol hahahahahaa im ganna piss my pants…you are gonna Kill her….jajajajajajajajaa wow…that is taking it to the next level…but if you kill her can you break Perez legs also!
Great idea Perez! I can't stand AI and having you on the show is a sure fire way to kill ratings.
I still don't understand how someone with zero experience in the music industry and no talent musically is in an authorative position with music hopefulls. If I were serious about my music and this bitch kicked me off, I'd probably slit my wrists!
Mario, your perception of talent is way off if you think Lady Gaga is all that. You'd be an awful judge on AI just as you have been an awful judge for other "contests."
THIS SHOW IS DONE, FINITO!! ELLEN NEEDS A NEW P/T JOB!! I HEAR MC DONALDS IS HIRING…. STOOPID BITCH, STFU. A MUSICAL NO TALENT SHOULDNT EVEN DESERVE TO BE ON THE JUDGING PANEL.
How many times are you going to beg and look like an asshole before you realize that NO ONE wants you on that show? YOU KNOW FUCK ALL about music, one judge that has NO musical expertise is more than enough fuck face. NEVER GONNA HAPPEN. Stick to what you do, drawing pics of dicks and cumstains and doing shitty music videos and hyping no talent assclowns. THEY DON'T WANT YOU.
SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION IS SO-O-O-O-O-O-O PASSE'! WHY DON'T YOU GROW UP AND STOP. YOU'VE ALREADY MADE YOUR MARK, GIVE IT AND US, A REST.
I actually liked Ellen on AI, but no one can replace Simon.
Their ratings will continue to decline. Jumped the shark a few seasons ago.
Honestly when will these posts stop. I'll be so happy when they actually name the replacement and the begging goes away.
Fuck off sperm breath!
Just because donkey face got a gig as a judge on some lame beauty contest he thinks he can do AI. Please, Please, Please… go fuck yourself.
Perez & CaCa should get together with an 8-ball and o.d.
Ellen is hot! I am a straight woman but if I were gay, I'd want her to be my girlfriend. You go girl!!!
Omg. perez. NOBODY WANTS YOU!!!!
hell yeah. i love ellen, her show and her AI apperance are great. keep it up!
Ellen is cool! Gonna miss Simon and always will miss Paula
Seeing as Simon called you 'bitter' on Britains Got Talent in reference to your constant dissing of Christina I HIGHLY DOUBT he will be hiring you for anything anytime soon.
Perez, think about it, your a celebrity roach, you climb on celebs shit to get some notoriety, you think you can join the A.I. team? you truly are a puffy coke whore! Ellen and all the other judges could be marked by sitting next to you, you just keep doing what your doing, don't quit your day job.
I hate AI but if Perez got on the show I'd actually tune in, i think its a great idea, the need another quick tounged smartass and perez would b perfect 4 the job
You people are evil. If you hate PH so much..get off his page! Perez id watch idol if u were on it
it hasnt been that same since the 2nd season anyhow..u'd def bost those ratings!! 
I'd like to see Lionel Ritchie and Quincy Jones as judges. They're actually REAL musicians. Ellen needs to go back to the coffee house for hummus and lesbian poetry night. Just because we're gay, doesn't make us qualified.
plzzzz Perez u dont know good music if it hit u on the face.
you'd be the final nail in idol's coffin p
