American Idol Adds Fourth Judge

Kara DioGuardi (right) & Dave Stewart (left)The producers of American Idol have made a curious decision; they have hired a fourth permanent judge.

Instead of hiring guest judges like they did in the past (Quentin Tarantino, Gloria Estefan, and Gladys Knight, to name a few), the show has tapped Kara DioGuardi to be the second female judge, next to Paula Abdul.

Never heard of her? Don't worry, you're not alone there.

Kara DioGuardi is a very famous songwriter and producer, one of the most sought-after in the industry. She has written and produced for Celine Dion, Leona Lewis, Jonas Brothers, Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Carrie Underwood, Miley Cyrus, David Archuleta, and many more.

Obviously she is very qualified, but I'm not sure about this choice. I like the chemistry that Paula, Simon, and Randy has, and I feel that she could possibly upset that balance.

Maybe she can help write an Idol winning single that doesn't suck.

Anyway, congrats on getting the job Kara!
