Kara DioGuardi: I May Not Be Back on Idol Next Season - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 05-01-2009, 11:28 PM

Though she’s only appeared on one season of American Idol, judge Kara DioGuardi says it may be her last.

“I’m only here for one season,” DioGuardi told TV Guide Magazine. “That’s what we’ve discussed. So we’ll see what happens.”

Still, the songwriter has nothing but positive things to say about the show, and is hopeful that they’ll keep her on in the future.

“My life has become extremely exciting and I am so excited for this opportunity,” she says. “I feel grateful to America that they let me grow and they let me find my groove on the show and that they were patient. And hopefully I haven’t disappointed them. It’s been a scary experience at times.”

Fellow judge Simon Cowell told the magazine that he thought that she’d be back, but admitted he wasn’t sure.

“The only say I have is about Ryan, Randy and Paula,” he said. “I’ve always made it clear that I wouldn’t like to do the show without them. So that’s all I’m really concerned about.”

For now, DioGuardi, who has more than 100 hit singles to her name, has more pressing things to think about: whether the song she wrote for the winner to sing will be picked!

I had a feeling Kara wouldn't be back for next season. It's sad, because I really like her and feel she's added another dynamic to the show. With Kara on the panel, there seemed to be more balance. It wasn't always about the "boys" ganging up on Paula all the time. Kara definitely spoke her mind, much to the chagrin of Simon, who I believe will ultimately decide her fate on the show. I could tell Simon was highly annoyed on last week's show when Kara told him he was crazy for his critique of Allison's performance, and she was in the right! Personally, I hope Kara returns next season, but we'll see.

I haven't even watched this season, but from what I've read in blogs, etc. she probably won't be back because they've been running over the time a lot with having 4 judges now. They can't keep doing that.

I know DWTS has run over a couple of times and it sounds like they really get in trouble if they do.

I'm sure Paula is heartbroken.

Yeah, I personally feel she has added nothing to the show except making it run over time. I don't like or dislike her, I just don't feel like she's a big contribution.

Those are the 2 biggest problems. This has to be the first season of Idol where every single episode has run over, at least by 1 or 2 minutes, not to forget about that 9 minute runover earlier in the season.

And, it doesn't help that she adds nothing to the critiquing. Whatever she says is something the others have already said or will say.

I like Kara and I hope they keep her instead of Paula.

Which begs the question - why did they even bother adding a fourth judge in the first place??

Very good question!

catniprules · 05-03-2009, 02:55 PM

I don't know whether I'm happy or sad about this. I kinda like her, but I miss the old 3 judge format.

Right now it seems like the judges comments after the performances are really rushed.

I don't know if having 4 judges is better or worse......

I really like Kara. I think she was a great addition to the show. The only judge I don't like at all is Randy.
