Talk show host and comedian Ellen Degeneres announced yesterday that she would be filling Paula Abdul's vacant spot on American Idol. Nikke Fenke reported that she signed a five-year deal. Degeneres will be joining the other three judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi.I think it was smart of the producers, and here's why:
-Degeneres is well-liked, so she'll bring in her own set of viewers.
-She'll take over as the nice judge, which will fill in the dynamic.
-No, she hasn't recorded an album or danced professionally, but she loves the show and knows what people like and what she would buy.
-She already has her own thing going with the talk show, so she probably won't get greedy (like some people) and want more and more money.
-Her contestant feedback can't possibly get any worse than what Paula had to say (or didn't have to say).

Degeneres said on her show yesterday that she's always been a huge Idol fan and has never missed a show. It'll be interesting when the season 9 begins this January.
