Kara DioGuardi is the new American Idol judge

Aside for being bored, American Idol added a fourth judge to join Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell in scrutinizing the AI contestants.

AI tapped the services of songwriter/producer Kara DioGuardi for the eighth season of American Idol. Adding a female judge perhaps will create more balance in judging and will prevent Paula Abdul judging the future.

Executive producer Simon Fuller said, “We are turning the heat up on ‘Idol’ this year and are thrilled to welcome Kara to the judges’ table,” and added “She is a smart, sassy lady, and one of America’s most successful songwriters. We know she will bring a new level of energy and excitement to the show.”

Kara's approach to judging is simple, “I’m going to be a straight shooter and say it like I see it and maintain that philosophy.”

Kara has penned and produced hits for Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson and Christina Aguilera.
