American Idol Adds Fourth Judge

American Idol is adding a fourth judge: Grammy-nominated songwriter Kara DioGuardi.

DioGuardi will appear at the judges' table with Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson on the eighth season of the hit show, which premieres in January.

"We are turning the heat up on Idol this year and are thrilled to welcome Kara to the judges' table," show creator and executive producer Simon Fuller said in a statement.

DioGuardi's songs have appeared on more than 100 million records by the likes of Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Pink, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey.

The songwriter's work has also been used by past Idol contestants, including Katharine McPhee, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Bo Bice, and Clay Aiken.


"She is a smart, sassy lady, and one of America's most successful songwriters. We know she will bring a new level of energy and excitement to the show," Fuller added.

American Idol was originally slated to have four judges, executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz said in the statement announcing the news.

"We've seen from our international series that having a fourth judge creates a dynamic that benefits both the contestants and the viewers," she explained.

Interesting-- I am guessing she will be like a Simon II-- and will add a bit more dramz to the show.

We all know what Simon is going to say by now.

Sounds like a good idea BUT how will they pass people through to Hollywood without a tie breaking vote? If there are 2 votes yes and 2 votes no, are they going to do teams for rock, paper scissors?

Good thinking Leslie - interesting. I think maybe they'll decide via cage match or something LOL.

My guess is that they bring back the guest judge in each city for auditions for the tie-breaking vote.
