American Idol

It was announced tonight that Ellen DeGeneres will replace Paula Abdul as the forth American Idol judge.  Paula announced a few months ago that she would no longer be a part of the show and is moving on to other things.  While Ellen is a very successful woman I wonder, does she know a whole lot about singing? I guess she could judge on personality and stage presence but other than that I am interested in seeing what she can come up with.
