Ellen Degeneres Debuts On American Idol

February 10, 2010 | Leave a Comment

Last night’s episode of American Idol featured funny girl Ellen Degeneres and she was in rare form. The show opened up with Ryan Seacrest talking to Ellen about appearing on the show and what kind of Judge she would be, possibly being the only one that would actually take on Simon. Ellen was nodding like she was agreeing with Ryan and when he asked her if that was her plan, in her deadpan style she quipped, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening.” That’s classic Ellen.

Ellen also took on the self focused Skibowski who was frankly just plain weird. Her comments on his Hollywood Week singing efforts, were that she felt like she was being stalked as Skibowski was singing and that, “sexy and scary is a fine line.” Then the dude wouldn’t leave the stage after he was cut from his group of 8. He wanted to know what it was that kept him from going through.

I just never understand people like that. After watching American Idol for 7 or 8 out of the 9 seasons it has been on, it is painfully evident that the cocky people never make it very far. If you want to make it on Idol, you have to cut the self assured, prideful crap and just mellow out a little bit. But people who have that cocky attitude just never get it. You blew it dude.

All the episodes from now on out will feature Ellen Degeneres as Paula Abdul’s replacement and should be pretty funny to watch. Last night Ellen even did a little Paula hand clapping impersonation when Andrew Garcia rocked us with his own version of Paula’s Straight Up. Andrew dude, as Paris Hilton would say, “That’s hot!” Andrew could definitely win the whole show.

Stay tuned for tonight’s episode of American Idol with the group singing and more antics from Ellen Degeneres.
