Yer hard core viewers are split about Ellen as fourth judge.
Fans went blog happy to either support or condemn the comedienne’s appointment to the Supreme Court of Idolatry.
"Ellen DeGeneres?" IM-ed one fan.
"She guest judged So You Think You Can Dance last season, and her critiques were comic relief…is she going to be a real judge or some kind of joke? She’s a comedian, not a singer or a musician."
