Of all the judges in American Idol, DioGuardi is probably one of the most qualified to criticize and give music tips for the contestants. Kara DioGuardi’s songs have appeared on over 100 million records, including Grammy award-winning artists like Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion, Gwen Stefani, Pink and Santana. DioGuardi’s songs have also been included in the albums of Britney Spears, Jewel, Enrique Iglesias, Kylie Minogue, Marc Anthony, The Jonas Brother, Miley Cyrus, Avril Lavigne and Hilary Duff, among many others.
As though she was destined to be an American Idol judge, Kara DioGuardi has also helped Idol winners and contestants with their albums. The stars from American Idol that made DioGuardi’s songs popular include Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Katharine McPhee, Bo Bice, Taylor Hicks, Clay Aiken and David Archuleta.
Over the last four years, Kara DioGuardi has been awarded 10 BMI Pop Awards for writing the most-performed songs on radio. From her hundreds of songs, over 265 of them have been released on major record labels worldwide and more than 165 have appeared on multi-platinum albums. Aside from a very impressive record as a songwriter, Kara DioGuardi also co-owns the Arthouse Entertainment, a company focused in developing and mentoring hit writers, artists and producers.
Kara DioGuardi had an experience as a judge on the ABC Idol-like show called “The One: Making a Music Star” on July 2006. Unfortunately, the show didn’t do well and was canceled after two weeks. With her new gig on American Idol, DioGuardi has a second chance to prove that her career advice for the future stars on the show will be valuable.
As the fourth judge on American Idol, Kara DioGuardi brings a new level of excitement and guidance for the contestants on the show. Everyone has witnessed how Paula Abdul fights Simon Cowell or Randy Jackson on the show for several years. With DioGuardi offering invaluable expertise as a songwriter, Paula Abdul will say goodbye as the only woman on the judge’s table and finally have someone to back her-up on the show. Kara DioGuardi creates a dynamic that will help both the contestants and viewers of American Idol.
Kara DioGuardi is disappointed with her fellow judge Paula Abdul
Paula Abdul didn’t think having Kara DioGuardi as the Fourth member on the judging panel was such a good idea.
Although, they get along together, she thinks adding a new judge was not the best for the Fox show.
According to Paula, They tried four judges before and it doesn’t work. For it takes up so much time for each of them to give their opinion that it slows down the pace of the show.
“Paula has a right to her opinions, but I was disappointed by her comments, and hurt that she did not address them to me in person,” DioGuardi said.
Nevertheless, DioGuardi is happy to be a part of the “Idol” family and is pleased with what she brings to the judge’s table.
