I just hope that Ellen won't do what she did, when she seated as guest judge in So You Think You Can Dance before. She has not given any sensible critique to the contestants during that time. She just joked around.

it's the first season without paula, and i believe it'll also be the last for simon, unfortunately or otherwise...now, i know some AI fans disagree with ellen degeneres being paula's replacement, pero let's see how she fares this season, even if we know that she doesn't really sing...

If Charice would become a guest in AI, I think Simon will say quot;She's Shoutingquot;

Well, Charice really knows how to belt but doesn't know WHEN to belt.
