As the next season of American Idol arrives, so does a friendly face. As fans sat down, on February 9, to watch the premiere of the newest season of American Idol, a different twist appeared on screen. American Idol is a television show that allows its participants to share with the world their own talent. The show was originally created by Simon Fuller. Fuller created the show off of the popular British show, Pop Idol. It wasn’t until 2002 when American Idol premiered on the Fox Network. Since 2002 when the show first came out, it has become one of the most popular shows on American television. Viewers are even capable of voting for their favorite artist on the show, through text messages. Recently, American Idol just signed a new judge to the show. The talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres, made her first debut on the series. American Idol is a unique television program that allows inspiring singers and songwriters, to appear for their first time in front of several well known stars. The stars then judge them on their capability to perform, and narrow down the contestants, show by show, until there is only one standing. Degenerates is the shows newest Judge, and quite possibly the most sensitive as well. Ellen was seen giving constructive, yet polite criticism to the contestants, unlike her fellow Judge Simon Cowell. However some fans and critics of the famous show have questioned Ellen's appropriateness as a Judge. Ellen responded by saying "I'll tell you what I do know: I do know what it's like to stand on a stage and try to please an entire roomful of people. ... That is a hard thing to do." Some American Idol fans enjoy the presence of this new star on stage, and I must admit I am one of them. It’s extremely refreshing to see a new face judging these inspiring artists. Hopefully we will continue to see Ellen through out the season.
