There was skepticism that Ellen DeGeneres wasn't the right pick to replace Paula Abdul on American Idol, but the numbers certainly don't lie. The show received a twelve percent ratings bump for her debut episode, and she's received positive reviews from Billboard, Entertainment Weekly and several other sources.
Will she be able to keep up the momentum when Simon Cowell leaves the show next season? It's impossible to say, but her presence on the show even makes me want to watch it. For those who tune into the show, what did you think of Ellen as a member of the judging panel?
