I thought I'd like Ellen and I don't. Big mistake to have her on there. It's not working.Liz Mayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960276167677132860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998135299923116308.post-69719511613281912522010-03-11T14:43:36.274-08:002010-03-11T14:43:36.274-08:00Lots of strong performances Wednesday night. Many ...Lots of strong performances Wednesday night. Many of the guys who were shy of the plate last week, stepped up to it this go. Here's my gripe: Ellen DeGeneres. Seriously, I am one of Ellen's biggest fans and was willing to give her the benefit of a doubt as a judge on <i>American Idol</i>, but boy, oh, boy, is she <i>ever</i> getting on my last nerve. (Since announcing that she landed the <i>Idol</i> job, it's ALL she ever talks about on her Daytime show-- even at the expense of her guests, who graciously put up with her. Lately, for me, I'm finding it easier and easier to find something better to do while watching <i>Ellen</i>, like <i>NOT</i> watching <i>Ellen</i>. LOL) So many of Ms. DeGeneres' <i>Idol</i> remarks seem contrived and rehearsed (as if she makes a list of "witticisms" ahead of time), those of which she randomly saddles on contestants in order to create fodder for herself, so she can, once <i>again</i>, talk about <i>herself</i> on, as Ellen puts it, "my other show-- I have TWO shows, you know. Wait! Let me remind everybody: I am a judge on <i>American Idol</i>!") AND that "impromtu" hug she landed on Jeff Buckley was just plain awkward. (<-- It had me longing for long, lost Paula Moments, to be sure! LOL! At least Paula was being being "real". <-- Did I just say that?) Get a grip, Ellen, not everything is about Ellen. LOL!<br /><br />Hmm. Maybe I'll turn my Daytime <i>Ellen</i> watching into a game: Everytime she says "American Idol", I get an M&M!<br />(And then, probably, diabetes.)SparkleFarkelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354679950013636478noreply@blogger.com
