Ok maybe thats a bit harsh im sorry shes not stupid but I dont think its right to have her on there just because shes gay they should get someone who knows some thing about music like paul mccartny.

i never thought that this will blown big in a issue all they are talking about is ellen cant be a judge why not we the people buy music and listen to it,the onces who “should know about music”have been so far off
i think the whole issue is,because of ellen being a lesbian well this is 2009 and this no longer should no longer be an issue we are humans i wish her look i think she will do great .america has now a african/american persident so why not a blond divine lesbian …labels i hate them but i just said it because that is what its all about.i trully wish people look beyond all this but sofair no luck….well ellen i love you go for it babes i will sayxxxxxxxx

I love Ellen, and I know she may have been offered a lot of money and also that she can and surely will be very sensitive and respectful woman when judging contestants…. That said, I guess if you are going to be tested on a Math exam, you need a Math teacher or a mathematician to be fair. Being a “judge” is not the same as being a critic or having an opinion. Is allowing someone to make a judgment in the assumption that that person is well over the average person to perform that duty because of its particular knowledge and impartiality. So, IMHO, this could –could- be bad press for her. Even if it is just a reality show, where things are not exactly THAT serious. Hope she can reverse that possibility being extra cute and nice.

Like the president the whole argument against her is based on passive / aggressive hate groups just trying to make hay. They need to get a grip and get over themselves. Ellen just needs to shine them on and simply say, “my qualifications are not going to be open for discussion”. Then simply get on with the business at hand. We don’t tune into the ED show to hear or see that crap spewed by the RR and others. The whole thing in my humble opinion is a waste of her precious time and energy. So please Ellen D. just ignore them they are somebody who cannot be pleased in any way shape of form.
