But something unexpected has changed all that. Yesterday FOX confirmed that popular Twitterer (@TheEllenShow) and daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres would be the new American Idol judge. And according to your Twitter reactions, it's pure genius.
Crimson Hexagon analyzed tweets following the big Idol announcement and found that a large majority (66%) of tweets expressed enthusiasm over the addition of Ellen DeGeneres to the judging table, with over one quarter of all tweets (26%) indicating a desire to start watching the show because of Ellen. On the flip side, only 17% think the decision was a mistake, making the "Not a good move" category the smallest single group in the overall Twitter sentiment analysis.
