I find it funny that you say she " hasn't a clue how to run or participate in the music industry when it comes to finding talent and the marketing to the public." when she hosts a daily talk show where she has at least one musical act perform per show and they are usually the biggest names in the industry. Along with the shows already mentioned she has also emceed the biggest awards show as well. It is silly to deny her the entertainment credibility she has rightfully earned.
Ellen admitted that she wasn't an expert on singing and she knew nothing about tone and pitch. She said she would be there from the fans perspective, judging them on their presence and appeal. She said she'll leave the technical stuff to the experts.
Her purpose will be to add to the judging panel's dynamic and present a different perspective than the others.
