Maybe I just have a bug, but this news left me cold. Ellen is a charming talk show host--hey just check out the Emmys. She will add to American Idol what it's like to be a fan in a fun way
. Excuse me--I am a fan and I can get all Ellen's witty charm from her talk show.
The other female, Kara what's her name, admittedly couldn't make it as a pop star. Paula, loopiness (which goes with real pop star territory incidentally) and all did. She not only walked the walk, talked the talk, but she danced the dance and sang the songs. She is the only one who has truly been in these kids' shoes. Maybe that's why the gushy encouragement is sincere. Been there, done that and know it can be hell kind of empathy. Can't fake that.
So, pardon me, puh-leese but this feels like a Fox financial squeeze. The guys get the bigger bucks. It's the same old story. Yes, I'll watch American Idol--how could I live without the Fox hit fix.
So, tell me why I feel less for Ryan, Randy, Simon, Kara what's her name, Fox and The Other Woman, Ellen. It would have been nice to see Paula put another crack in that glass ceiling. Well, young contestants wherever you are: you got a lesson in show biz. It's every man or woman for themselves and you are only as good as your agent and/or last gig. Apparently, Fox voted Paula off the show.
Here's to a new AI. I wish it well because it's in reality family fare. But I have a long memory--and I can't forget the three original judges and host who were the constant on the show from the get-go when they didn't know if it would just be a wannabe. Would lovable Ellen taken the risk from day oneninstead of the number one show, e.g.? So, there's a part of me that would cheer if there were a chorus of fans shouting "we want Paula, we want Paula" in perfect harmony on the opening show.
Here's to the new AI--but I'll drink to the orignal, the classic. It's the real thing!
