"Why you all staring at me? Can't a girl try out a new job?" Abdul said, wearing a short blond wig and stationed on a talk show-style couch. "All kidding aside, nothing but love, Ellen. I wish you the best of luck and congratulations on the new gig! And you got to call me if you have any Simon [Cowell] problems, because I know him best."

She sounds a little out of breath. Thought she was a dancer. Ellen does not sound that winded after dancing
