Ellen is hilarious. She's going to be soooo good on this show. It's going to make the show this season. I know that takes the other guys for granted, but you need fresh blood sometimes to help keep something interesting. And she's going to be a great judge, too. So back off you ridiculous critics - Andrew Felker

Victoria Beckham was the ideal choice. Scraping the bottom of the barrel for talent is unacceptable.

Ellen is no way the "bottom of the barrel", imo. I think she's going to be very refreshng for this uptight and non-comedic show.

I think Ellen will wear thin very quickly on AI.....I like her but the sameness of her "schtick" bores me.Why they need 4 judges escapes me! This show is supposed to be about the talent , not the judges.....they offer very little in the long run.

Unfortunate choice for the future of the how. Being judges doe not equal judging musical talent.
