Ellen’s first live night
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010
I need to talk/rant more about Ellen’s first live night on “Idol.” I like Ellen. I think Ellen is very, very funny. But after watching Tuesday’s show for a second time, I gotta say: Her first night on “Idol” live was not good, not da bomb, not dope and not anything I expected.
What did I expect? Some humor. She almost looked like she was forced to hold back her comedy last night. Was she told not to be funny? Granted, the beginning of the show when she was sitting next to Simon made me laugh, but so did Kara when she said virtually the same thing later in the show.
I don’t want Ellen to steal the Idol judging stage with her comedy; I just want her to be herself … which is (from what I’ve seen on her “Ellen” shows) funny AND fun.
How many times did we hear her say “You’re great!” Several times, she offered a poor critique, but then followed with “I’m sorry … but you’re great!” They can’t be great and poor at the same time, can they? I’ll chalk Tuesday night up to first-time jitters.
Your thoughts on Ellen?

Paula, Paula … what are you doing? Did you see her bit last night during the VH1 Divas show? She arrived on stage dressed like – and dancing like – Ellen DeGeneres on Thursday, Sept. 17, in New York. DeGeneres is the newest judge on “American Idol,” replacing Abdul. I hope she cleared this with Ellen before going on stage. If not, can you imagine what the media will do with this?
