Is Neil Patrick Harris a Great Guest Judge Choice for American Idol?

How I Met Your Mother star is the latest celebrity to decide new crop of hopefuls' fate

We love Neil Patrick Harris just as much as the next gal, but we can't help but wonder: Should American Idol leave the judging up to the true recording-industry professionals?

The How I Met Your Mother star is sitting at the judges table today for the Dallas auditions, a Fox rep confirmed to us.

And yes, we know NPH has succeeded on Broadway and has sung a tune or two elsewhere in his entertainment endeavors. But does that make him a great judge for this type of competition? Take our poll below to let us know what you think and then hit the comments with your arguments.
