American Actress and Television host, Ellen DeGeneres says the worse decision she has made in her life is joining American Idol as a judge.

She disclosed in an interview with Howard Stern on Tuesday that being a judge on Season 10 of the reality show was “one of the worst decisions I’ve made,” and that she couldn’t stand crushing so many people’s dreams.

“As a fan of the shows, it doesn’t matter that I sing or I know anything about pitch … I’m like everybody else at home, so I thought I’m gonna represent those people at home that have opinions,

“But then I just thought, like Howard says, I can’t break this person’s heart. Let somebody else do that,” she said.

Ellen joined the likes of Randy Jackson, Kara DioGuardi and Simon Cowell as judge for American Idol in 2010.
