			<link>http://darcimonetmessageboard.yuku.com/topic/854/t/Ellen-DeGeneres-Seriously-.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ WTF? I&#39;m sorry, but replacing Paula Abdul with Ellen DeGeneres makes no sense at all. Abdul was a part of the music industry. DeGeneres has nothing to do
with the music industry.
<br>
<br>
This is going to backfire on AI big time. You can&#39;t replace a knowledgeable judge (no matter how quirky) with someone who&#39;s not a professional in the
music industry (no matter how quirky).

			<description><![CDATA[ <p>I don&#39;t know if anyone will see this post until next season, but in case some of you are monitoring Darci&#39;s forum, what do you think about Paula
leaving American Idol? I don&#39;t think it will affect the show one way or the other, because people watch the show for two reasons... the singers, and Simon
Cowell <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif">
<br>
<br>
I don&#39;t think Paula will find anything better.
