Poll of the week: Paula should "beg to be taken back," say readers

The most recent edition of IDOL LIVE's poll of the week had readers answer a question that many have been asking over the past few weeks. The most popular answer, however, is something that just will not happen when taking breaking news into account.

Most readers felt Paula Abdul should "beg Idol to take her back" (14 votes, 60%), but now that it is official that Ellen DeGeneres will be filling the open slot, this will simply not be happening. The next most popular choice was for Paula to judge another FOX show - So You Think You Can Dance (4 votes, 17%), which seems like the next best option in reality.

As for the latest edition of the poll of the week, readers are asked whether they think Ellen DeGeneres is a good replacement for Paula. Voting will be open for exactly one week.
