WHAT DO YOU THINK OF KARA DIOGUARDI AS AN AMERICAN IDOL JUDGE? READ WHAT WE THINK AND LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS ON OUR NEW ARTICLE HERE.

Kara DioGuardi has surprised many American Idol fans by predicting a male will win this year’s season.

Though many are predicting that a female will scoop the title this year and some are going as far as to say it will be Crystal Bowersox, Kara is sure that one of the boys will triumph in 2010.

While she wouldn’t commit to one contestant over another, the AI judge did single out new dad Michael Lynche for some praise saying:

‘I love him!’

She went on:

“I was kind of shocked by Lilly [Scott] leaving. She was somebody who really knew who she was. There’s few contestants now who are really struggling with that, but they have good voices.”

Kara also admitted that she is having a better time this year, saying that last year was ‘Freshman year’ and was ‘awful.’ Kara says she has settled more this year and that now she has sorted herself out, it’s all about the contestants.
