Being an American Idol judge is a dream to many Hollywood celebs, but for Ellen DeGeneres it was her biggest mistake.

Claiming that judging the hit singing competition was the worst decision she has ever made, the 57-year-old comedian said, "As a fan of the shows, it doesn't matter that I sing or I know anything about pitch," reports News.com.au.

'The Ellen Show' star added that she thought that she will represent general audience in the show, but the fact that she had to break some contestant's hearts with her decisions was something she never liked.
