DeGeneres easily slid to replace Paula Abdul without scratch. It is fun to see her spice up the panel of judge. She definitely fits in to the mix.

One thing for sure, people love Elle DeGeneres’ presence in American Idol already.

After the surprise announcement from American Idol that Ellen DeGeneres will be joining the team of judges come Season 9 of the celebrated show this January, people came up with different reactions, most of them are positive. True, Ellen DeGeneres’ presence in the Idol is going to be a refreshing change.

Ellen DeGeneres will be sitting with Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi in American Idol’s Season 9. We can only anticipate how it’s going to be like with Ellen in the team. One thing for sure is that a unique perspective is a welcome one.

Some say it’s going to be a hilarious show with the celebrated beloved comic presence of Ellen. American Idol creator and executive producer Simon Fuller confessed of being really excited to have Ellen DeGeneres join the American Idol family.

Susan Boyle definitely wowed the judges and had the rather picky Simon Cowell open mouthed with fascination. Boyle admitted to have expected the initial response of people towards a seemingly elderly woman trying her luck in Britain’s Got Talent. Susan Boyle said to the Sunday Times, “ I know what they were thinking, but why should it matter as long as I can sing? It’s not a beauty contest.”
