I love Ellen don't get me wrong.. but I don't think she's fit for AI.

I don't get all this she's just nervous stuff. SHe has a talk show that she does in front of a live audience, what is she nervous about, being honest with the contestants? If thats the case she doesn't belong in a judge's chair. She could easily take over Ryan's job though and be great at that

I personally think she is not nervous in a "stage fright" way, but I think she is not yet comfortable in her role. I think it was yesterday that I noticed when she gave her critique first, she lacked the professional terminology when describing high notes, pitchy singing etc. The way she explained flaws in someone's singing was awkward. I would have preferred that she focused on the entertainment value of a performance, their look etc.

My family and I were just talking about this today! I love Ellen too, but I don't think she's qualified enough to judge performances. Just liking music and dancing isn't enough....I really was hoping she'd work out doing this!

There are three qualified judges up there already, I think it's nice to have someone who thinks like the 30 million viewers who are watching.

I really don't know if there is any tension bewteen Simon and Ellen. Didn't they sit together during Hollywood week? Maybe Ellen is on the outside so if she gets the itch to dance she can

They DID sit together during Hollywood week, and from what I heard that's when they started not getting along.
