We compare two pop-culture subjects to see which you like better. To be included in next week's tally, vote for your favorite before noon on Monday. This week's match:
ELLEN DEGENERES vs. PAULA ABDUL
Paula is out. Ellen is in. Well, Ellen is actually out, but she's also in. In any case, Ellen DeGeneres is the new fourth judge on "American Idol." She's no music insider, but she says she'll represent the people's tastes on the show. We'll be the judge of that. Meanwhile, you be the judge of this.
RESUME
Ellen: Talk show host, stand-up comic
Paula: Pop star, crazy lady
WHY SHE'S PERFECT FOR 'IDOL'
Ellen: She'll make sure everybody won't take themselves too seriously.
Paula: That way she claps like a trained seal sure does make us feel good.
WHY SHE'S BAD FOR 'IDOL'
Ellen: No musical experience ... to judge a music contest
Paula: She offered no helpful criticism.
THE SIMON FACTOR
Ellen: Her smart quips could put him in his place. Finally.
Paula: We'll miss how easy a target she can be.
LAST WEEK: SPIDER-MAN vs. HANNAH MONTANA
Our pick: Spider-Man. We still wear his underwear.
Your pick: It was a tie!
