American Idol Base

We just learned last week that Paula Abdul is officially off American Idol and that TV show host Ellen Degeneres is in. That’s right, Ellen is the newest judge for American Idol. Although she has no singing career or knows much about the music industry, she reports she will speak for the public and fans. I have a feeling every performance she hears will be “good, great, and fantastic” with a comic twist.

There will also be celebrity judges for the audition part of American Idol so keep your eyes out for them!

There has been much speculation as to whether Paula Abdul will be back for season 9 of Idol. The round of try outs are next month and much of the media is wondering if they will see this goofy, kooky spirit of a judge.

It is apparent that Paula Abdul is frustrated with her upcoming AI contract renewal. There is much support to keep Paula on her Twitter page. Past AI contestants like Danny Gokey and Annoop Desai tweeted to Paula to stay on AI.

I think this is just publicity and that Paula will stay on as an American Idol Judge for season nine and possibly season 10 and 11. No one can take the place of Paula Abdul. She wears her heart on her sleeve and invests in these singers. She will sure stay on so don’t miss next season.
