meet idol's 4th judge kara dioguardi!good evening! i just finished watching hillary clinton's speech at the DNC in denver which i thought was amazing & inspiring - i'm totally on board to elect barack obama the next president of the united states! speaking of ms. clinton - her supposed favorite TV show is american idol which is switching things up by adding a 4th judge when the 8th season kicks off in january - i'm glad that the producers are adding in a judge rather than replacing one (once paula abdul, simon cowell, or randy jackson leave - the show will have totally jumped the shark which we know will happen eventually...probably sooner than later) i'm actually a huge fan of the new judge kara dioguardi who i discovered by way of platinum weird (an album she wrote & performed with dave stewart (of eurythmics) and was previously featured on popbytes here & here - quick sidenote: one of the album's tracks taking chances became celine dion's lead single off her latest album!) kara has also worked with a number of other pop artists including pink, natasha bedingfield, gwen stefani, and leona lewis to name just a few - i think she'll be a perfect fit on american idol! i'm glad she'll be getting more exposure (and no worries she's already a good friend of ms. abdul's - no catfights for now...) she's really talented and will bring some new life to idol which i still enjoy a whole lot yet we are heading into the 8th season (i'd still say my favorite season was when fantasia won and we were first introduced to jennifer hudson) below are some pictures of the idol gang over at NYC's chelsea piers where they officially introduced ms. dioguardi as the newest AI judge! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo speaking about the moment she was offered the role, kara dioguardi says, "i almost fell off the chair" and adds that she hopes to create "a new chemistry as well as keeping the old". and asked how she felt about judging wannabe pop stars, she says, "i'm a little nervous. i'm going to be a straight shooter and say

Who They Should Have Picked To Be The Fourth American Idol JudgeAmerican Idol has announced the addition of a fourth judge for next season. Her name is Kara DioGuardi and everyone is going to great lengths to explain who the hell she is. She's a songwriter/producer who has worked with nearly all the big Idol names (Clarkson, Underwood, Bice, Aiken, etc.), and basically every other pop star out there. She was also one half of a failed duo called Platinum Weird with Eurythmic Dave Stewart. The two wrote and recorded the original Taking Chances, which you may recognize from an episode of JLo's incredible reality show Dance Life, but was made way more famous by Celine Dion. I'm sure she'll bring some sass to the table, and give Simon someone way more attractive to tongue-kiss and tease. It will be interesting to watch the inevitable unraveling of Paula who won't be able to compete with a composed, firm-faced young lady who can tell which contestant performed which song. Personally, I'd rather see a whole slew of other people as the fourth judge as opposed to this Kara lady. Let's bring in some fresh crazy! Paula's antics are getting old and Randy's lines have gone the way of the bling. (I will never tire of Simon, I love his v-neck and tiny man boobs.) Here are some other people I'd like to see as the fourth judge: SPAGETTIf you're not familiar with this amazing character from Tim & Eric Awesome Show, then you may not understand, but trust me, it would be INCREDIBLE (and ratings gold) for Spagett to jump up from behind the judge's table and deliver his catchphrase, just after Paula tells a contestant how much she loves him/her. Or he could jump out from behind Ryan Seacrest. Either way. GARY BUSEYDo I really need to explain why this would be awesome? BUFFALO BILLBecause it's time we got a judge that can scare the sh*t out of contestants. "It sang very pitchy tonight. It needs to connect with the audience more." SANDRA BERNHARDShe's not as crazy as my other picks, and this is actually my real wish. I think Sandra would be awesome on
