CyberSurvey: Ellen DeGeneres as 'Idol' judge?

Idol needs a revamp and DeGeneres is not the answer.....Being able to vote umpteen times only has made it a popularity contest....call in votes should ony count as part of the process.....Singers should have 2 or 3 catagories to choose there songs from each week. Heck Frank Sinatra wouldn't sound good doing Rock or Heavy metal.....They need another hottie like Underwood to offset all the ordinary guys of the past few years.....Lambert was obviously a great singer but the rest have been ordinary at best......Show may tell you it's going great with so many votes but to me it's gotten a little stale lately......Also getting tired of Jackson's "dog" deal all the time......Ellen's not the answer but thank god it wasn't Rosie O'Donnell.
