'Idol' News

Saturday, July 31, 2010 • American Idol

idol news

A couple months ago, I let FOX and the "American Idol" producers know that this didn't feel like the right fit for me. I told them I wouldn't leave them in a bind and that I would hold off on doing anything until they were able to figure out where they wanted to take the panel next. It was a difficult decision to make, but my work schedule became more than I bargained for. I also realized this season that while I love discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. I loved the experience working on "Idol" and I am very grateful for the year I had. I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be.

Hallo Guten Tag Manfred Hier, schickes design hat ihr Blog wo habe Sie den Blog heruntergeladen? Können Sie mir bitte den link per E-Mail zusenden würde mich freuen als Dankeschön können sie sich mein Reseller eBook kostenlos auf www.p-l-r.de downloaden. Habe hier ein paar Tipps zum Thema Geld verdienen im Internet! Internet Business mit PLR EBook Lizenzen aufbauen Man Schreibt über ein Thema, das einem sowieso am Herzen liegt und wenn dieses Thema dann auch noch für andere interessant ist, dann steht dem Geldverdienen im Internet mit einem PLR EBook nichts mehr im Weg. Es muss ja nicht immer das einfallsreiche “Geld verdienen im Internet” PLR EBook sein. Oft interessieren ganz einfache Themen, wie z.B. wie Pflege ich meinen Hausgarten richtig oder die perfekte Urlaubs Insel, usw. Reseller Lizenz oder EBook schreiben! Das EBook muss erst mal geschrieben werden. Natürlich sollte man im vornherein ein Thema überlegen und einen aussagekräftigen Titel verfassen. Für die Umsetzung und Erstellung des EBooks eignet sich Word. Ein EBook hat in aller Regel auch nicht die Länge eines Buchs es ist daher mehr eine Zusammenfassung mit den Highlights. Außerdem spielt auch das Layout eine sehr wichtige Rolle. Texte sind am Bildschirm schwieriger zu lesen, da die Augen schneller ermüden. In Ihrem PLR EBook sollten also mehr auf Abschnitte, Zwischenüberschriften und Grafiken geachtet werden. Mit einem Bild oder Modell kann man Sachverhalte oft viel einfacher erklären, als mit sehr langen Schachtelsätzen. Außerdem sind einige Listen und Zusammenfassungen sinnvoll. Was nützt Ihnen das interessanteste und am besten geschriebene EBook, wenn keiner davon weiß. Ein PLR EBook Lizenzen muss natürlich vermarktet werden, wenn man es erfolgreich an den Mann bringen will. Wer es mit einer eigenen Website oder einem Blog probieren will, der wird nicht den schnellen Erfolg finden. Hier gibt es dennoch einige wichtige Tipps! Mein Report zum Geldverdienen mit EBooks kostenlos inklusive Master Reseller Lizenz. Auf meiner Webseite www.p-l-r.de Eine Menge Tipps für ihr online Business finden sich in meinem Report. Viele Grüße! von Manfred WEB: http://www.p-l-r.de E-Mail: kostenlose-master-reseller-ebook-lizenz@p-l-r.de

Dear Ellen,
Im 13 years old and my birthday is Jan. 15, I don't really do anything for my birthday because.. Well, there is just to many of us as a family that little things like birthdays can't be.. Celebrated... It hurts kind off because it's really tough.. I Hope I meet you one day! I hate going to school because I'm always getting bullied. I always had the same thought since I was little. My thought was becoming a singer. I want to become a singer I want most of my money to my family and help Somalia. I would love to help thoughs childeren that are getting bullied around the world.. I just don't get how people can bully others? It hurts. So Ellen, can you please help my dream come true? Help me become the next big thing? Please Ellen. When teachers ask me what do I want to be when I grow up, I say Ellen. (You) I Love you Ellen!

Ellen, thanks for making me laugh mourn, thanks for being a little child in the body of a beautiful woman, for being so transparent, for being happy and make me happy. I love it.

i'm from Mexico and I admire you so much, I follow your tv show in the YouTube channel.

Sorry to hear you are leaving as my 2 year old twins loved an extra chance to see Ellen "generous" (a fitting name I think)! Glad that you are making a decision that is best for you and your family. You an amazingly positive and generous person and I am proud that my kids can watch your show. Hopefully it is on for many years to come so I bring them to see you live one day.

Hi.

I am a mexican woman who wants to tell you that your show, and the testimony of your life is an inspiration for a lot of people.

The Supreme Court here just declare constitutional the marriages between persons of the same sex. You were one of the inspirations for a lot of people who fights for their rights.

However, your decition is right since you are a successful person and you know the best choice for you.. Too bad for me that I just watched one American idol season and I won't be in my life! Say hi to porcha.

Wow! What I had2go thru just 2get2 a place I could send a comment. Perhaps doing it via my cell phone wasnn't wise(&contrary2popular belief, it wasn't the least bit convenient either).Now that I've made it thru the abyss of all that is Ellen(love u Ellen),I have a question. Where do I apply for a job as an "Idol" judge? I figure there's@least 2seats2fill&since we the people are the most important judges anyhow,then I qualify! And I could really use the extra cash...Im really hating having2call this cell phone my"internet access" like thats something special that I specifically pay4 cuz Im that kinda rich! Lol.If u can put in a good word4 the average folk(specifically ME of course)&point out how I am already a judge@home anyway...so its really no bother...I may just get the job! And Im cool with less $ than Ellen&Simon too so they're hittin' the jackpot with this hard working,very reliable,gal! Im also usually right when I judge from home2! Thanks in advance Ellen...I'll plug ur show often if i get the job k?*wink,wink* Your the greatest Ellen! P.S.-I'll watch 4 ur "friend request"on Facebook...lol :)...Penny Reid-Pridie

I really enjoyed seeing you on American Idol and you always had Randy cracking up so that will be missed. Good for you, though, for making a decision as you know what feels right for you and one shouldn't do anything that doesn't feel good. You will be missed as a Judge but it is great that you at least gave it a go for 1 season.

Posted by Lynn Johnston | August 5, 2010 10:24 AM

Ellen.. you did the best thing possible. I just couldn't see judging someone either.
Good decision! Way to go!
