Kara DioGuardi, an American Idol judge, is a stalwart in the American music industry. DioGuardi is a singer-songwriter, record producer, music publisher, A&R executive, and now a TV personality because of her judging role in American Idol.

Kara DioGuardi has worked with pop stars like Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Hilary Duff and Paula Abdul.

As an American Idol judge, Kara sits alongside Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell, and new AI judge Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen DeGeneres replaced Paula Abdul because of the latter’s contract disputes with FOX.

Upon joining AI as a judge on its eighth season, Kara DioGuardi has served as a steady and fair judge, a stark contrast to the eternally nice and pleasing Paula Abdul and the nasty and critical Simon Cowell. Apart from working as an American Idol judge, DioGuardi has also served as Vice President of A&R for Warner Bros. Records since 2008.
