American Idol judge Paula Abdul has spoken out about her "concerns" over the hiring of songwriter Kara Dioguardi as the show's new expert.

Grammy-winner DioGuardi will join original judges Abdul, Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson on the hit talent show when its eighth season kicks off next year. The songwriter and producer is a stand-out talent in the music industry - writing hit tracks for superstars including Britney Spears, Celine Dion and Christina Aguilera.

However, former pop star Abdul is worried about how the show's fans will take to the newcomer, and how she will interact with her fellow panelists.

Abdul says, "I am concerned about the audience and acceptance. Time will tell. We'll see. That's gonna be weird if it's a split decision. I'm sure Simon will get to make the final call. It takes the fun out of all the hard work I do to push those kids through."

I'm amazed they even told Paula there was going to be a fourth judge. She's so out of it most of the time she probably wouldn't have noticed her sitting there.

I'm sure with a fourth judge, now, Paula's vote won't even count anymore. Not that her vote really mattered in the first place . . .

I can picture it now. During the third or fourth episode, Paula looks over and says, "Uh, Randy, did you lose a lot of weight and grow out your hair?" ;)

They should seat Kara Dioguardi right next to Paula and have her wear the exact same outfit. Paula will think it's a mirror.
