Television presenter and new 'American Idol' judge Ellen DeGeneres has said she was "honest" with the show's hopefuls.
According to AP, she said: "I was honest with [the singers]. I was concerned going into it I would be tiptoeing around too much, but I wasn't."
She also said: "Everyone is anxious to see how Simon and I are going to be together and, you know, I am too."
"I know how we were for Hollywood Week, and I know there were good days and bad days."
"But I don't know how we're going to be on live TV. That's going to be an interesting thing."
