Who gave Ellen this gig, and what exactly is her role here? This is just not the platform for her. As far as the contestants go they have all always sought Simon's approval the most anyway. But Kara and Randy do know the music industry and their comments and observations are worth listening to. But Ellen? It's almost like Randy and Seacrest go out of their way to include her, and Simon and Kara pretty much ignore her.And when she has to critique first it is even worse as she does not have a lead to follow. It's kinda embarrassing to watch. Don't know why she accepted this job. I'm not bashing Ellen for who she is, as she can be really funny and irreverent, but not on this platform and she is obviously aware of that,so who is she? She cannot be who she naturally is and I think it is painful to watch.Who's bright idea was this anyway?
