Ellen on Idol: "One of the worst decisions I've made"
Quote:
Ellen DeGeneres has already said her brief time as an "American Idol" judge wasn't a good fit, but now she's admitting her time on the popular talent show was one of the biggest mistakes of her career.
"That's one of the worst decisions I've made," she said on Howard Stern's SiriusXM show Tuesday.
The popular daytime talk show host said she had been a fan of of "American Idol" when she agreed to become a Season 10 judge. She thought the role would be fun, but instead found it difficult to pass judgment on vulnerable performers.
Came in here expecting Ellen to say "they beat me and locked me in a cage" or some kind of fun expose but then I remembered it was Ellen and was disappointed.
I never understand when celebrities take jobs like this, similarly to Kathy Griffin on Fashion Police, leave rather quickly, and then claim they didn't know what they were getting themselves into. Like, have you not seen the show?

She should have never been on there. She's not involved in music in any way, like Simon doesn't sing but he's part of the industry while Ellen was more like a fan being made a judge
