Kara DioGuardi on Paula Abdul's departure: “It’s such a loss for the show"

American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi is sad and shocked over Paula Abdul’s sudden departure from American Idol this week and she is hoping Paula will “reconsider”.
“I can’t get over it. Completely shocked,” Kara said during an interview on KIIS FM’s On-Air with Ryan Seacrest on Friday. “It’s such a loss for the show, such a loss for the contestants.”

She added, “She’s definitely the heart of the panel and the kind of heart she treats the contestants with she treated me with last year during the auditions. She was so kind to me and made me feel immediately like I was part of the panel. And I hoping she’ll reconsider.”
“The way I’m understanding, it was her choice to leave,” Kara told Ryan. “How could you ever replace [her]? She’s an incredible talent. She is somebody who helped to make the show as big as it is. And how could you ever replace that?”
FOX denies speculations that that hiring Kara is their "insurance policy" if Abdul will leave the show.

Still looking for AI's fourth judge, AI management signed Katy Perry and Victoria Beckham as guest judges.
