Ellen leaving Idol
Article
Fox announced today that Ellen DeGeneres has decided to step down from her role as as judge on American Idol. DeGeneres joined the panel in its ninth season. The network released this statement today: “A couple months ago, I let Fox and the American Idol producers know that this didn’t feel like the right fit for me,” said DeGeneres. “I told them I wouldn’t leave them in a bind and that I would hold off on doing anything until they were able to figure out where they wanted to take the panel next. It was a difficult decision to make, but my work schedule became more than I bargained for. I also realized this season that while I love discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. I loved the experience working on IDOL and I am very grateful for the year I had. I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be.”
Fox released a statement of its own: “We love Ellen and understand and support her decision to bow out of IDOL,” said Peter Rice, Chairman of Entertainment, Fox Networks Group. “We were fortunate to receive the humor, energy and love for talent that she brought to the show.”

I agree. I like her, but you could tell that she was never comfortable criticizing the contestants.

Re: Ellen leaving Idol
She did the right thing. I love Ellen on her show but she is not a singer or songwriter/producer so what gave her the right to judge on a singing competition. Like I said I do love her show though.

Re: Ellen leaving Idol
Didn't she have a 3 year contract though? How did she get out of that?

Re: Ellen leaving Idol
I heard on the radio this morning that Jennifer Lopez was going to replace Ellen. They said someone else was replacing Simon, but I can't remember who....
