Ellen DeGeneres says she became an American Idol judge by accident. “I called a friend of mine who works at Fox to get tickets to come see the show,” says DeGeneres. “She said sure, would you like to be backstage, in the front row, or a judge? I said, oh, those are my options? It’s better seating to be a judge. I’d like to be a judge.”
The seven finalists chosen on the show last night had made sacrifices to be part of American Idol. They’d left jobs or were separated from their families to be in Hollywood. “Big Mike” Lynche missed the birth of his first child while singing in American Idol. As an overjoyed Lynche approached the judges to hug them, Ellen DeGereres said, “Don’t pick me up again, my back!” But it’s too late, as Big Mike picks her up again when he hugs her and all the Idol judges. Randy Jackson tells Lynche not to forget Ryan Seacrest.
One singer who didn’t make the cut was Jessica Furney, whose outburst before judges was a Tonya Harding-style beg for mercy that blamed others for her problems. After being (more…)
