Who Is The Better Idol Judge, Paula Or Ellen Dengeneres?

February 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment

Tonight we will see the debut of the new American Idol judge, mid day talk show host Ellen Degeneres. Of course everyone knows she replaced Paula Abdul who left the show because of supposed contract disputes. However, with Ellen’s infectious sense of humor, tonight’s episode of Idol will probably not disappoint.

Even though Ellen will be a great addition to the Idol team, many people will most definitely be missing Paula since she was liked by so many people and was always the most gracious judge on the show. Paula always had a kind comment for even the saddest talent either auditioning or during the live part of the she had constructive criticism for poor performers and managed to deliver it in a most gracious way.

Who Is Your Favorite American Idol Judge, Ellen or Paula?

While Ellen will bring her humor to the show, some are wondering if she has the musical knowledge to be sitting in the seat of Paula who has been in the music industry for a couple of decades, has had 6 number one hits, has been a very successful dance choreographer, has been in some cheesy movies (as has Ellen) and has won several awards including, Emmys, a Grammy and more. Paula has a wealth of musical talent and awards to back it up, while Ellen is just funny and is known for making the everyday observations about people humorous.

While Ellen obviously has good observation skills, Paula has the musical experience and ability to be a good judge of the talent of people trying to win the Idol competition. So, the question is, who would you vote for as a better judge on American Idol?
