Kara DioGuardi has admitted that she found it hard to bond with Simon Cowell during her time on American Idol.
The accomplished singer songwriter sat on the judging panel of the reality TV show for both the eighth and ninth series but confessed that she could never get Simon to notice her and in fact, admitted that at times he was ‘less than kind.
Writing in her new autobiography, Kara explained:
American politician Joseph DioGuardi appeared on ‘Capital Tonight’ this week and shed some light on his daughter’s American Idol future.
The 69 year old former U.S. Representative from New York was asked if the rumours are true and his daughter Kara has been fired from the hit reality TV show. He responded:
It feels like American Idol only finished yesterday (we know it was actually last month sometime) but already the judges have been talking about next year’s season of the show. Ellen DeGeneres has revealed how her judging style will change next year and Kara DioGuardi has been talking about who she wants to replace Simon Cowell.
American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi guest hosted The View today and we loved seeing a bit more of her personality than we are normally privy to on Idol.
Kara joked with the audience about the lack of applause she used to experience during her first year on the show…..claiming that she started to clap for herself in order to fill the silent gap.
American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi has given her backing to Harry Connick, Jr as a replacement for Simon Cowell on next year’s judging panel.
Harry mentored contestants during a recent Frank Sinatra week and not only gave amazing advice to the hopefuls, but was also hilariously funny to boot.
Kara DioGuardi has been showing that she’s more than qualified to judge American Idol singing hopefuls by giving an amazing vocal performance of her own.
Kara DioGuardi in Allure
American Idol judge Simon Cowell reportedly branded Kara DioGuardi’s recent naked photo shoot for Allure magazine as ‘desperate.’
Explaining her decision to strip for the publication Kara said:
American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi has stripped again. The last time we saw her almost naked in a gold bikini on last year’s Idol final, this time she went the whole hog for a magazine photo shoot with Allure.
The 39 year old singer songwriter admitted that she battled with binge eating and depression in her twenties but told the magazine that due to her current proper diet techniques, her body is now in its best shape either.
American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi has revealed that she and fellow panelist Simon Cowell have been ‘getting along splendidly’ on this season of the show.
The singer/songwriter performed two sell out shows in Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City last week and told the crowd:
Outgoing American Idol singer Didi Benami made an appearance on the David Letterman show this week and though she looked incredibly awkward during her interview, she gave an amazing rendition of ‘Terrified,’ which was originally co-written by Idol judge Kara DioGuardi.
