Idol is back

Idol is back with their new judge Kara DioGuardi; a singer/song writer. The four judges held auditions in Phoenix, AZ, Kansas City, Mo, San Francisco, CA, Louisville, KY, Salt Lake City, UT, Jacksonville, FL, San Juan, PR and New York. You can expect 114 people with golden tickets going to Hollywood and being tested, eliminated and defeated mentally and physically. Out of the crowd some will rise to the occasion and some will crack under pressure. Out of the entire crowd one star be found and their life will change forever.If you have never tuned-in before now is the perfect time to start. Simon Cowell is known as being a the harsh and truthful judge; he has created verious shows and judged on "Britain's Idol" as some call it but if you are a local then you will know it as X Factor (If you would like to learn more about Simon and his caree go to http://www.simoncowell.org/). Which bring me to the next judge, Paula Abdul; she has been a guest judge on X Factor after she was brought to Britain by Simon. She is known as the "judge with a heart" on AI and has lots of experience with the entertainment business. She was a VERY successful 80's singer. On the show and off her and Simon have had a love/hate relationship (To learn more about Simon and Paula go to http://opposites-attract.net/ and to learn more about EVERYTHING Paula Abdul go to http://www.paulaabdul.com/ ).Randy is the "Dawg" that keeps it real. I like to call him "the pitch police". He has been a bass/keyboard player for Journey and MANY other well known musical acts! (To learn more about "The Dawg" go to http://www.randyjackson.org/). Kara DioGuardi has written over 100 #1 hit songs (To learn more about this great writer go to http://www.karadioguardi.com/main.html).The girls of A.I. seem REALLY close and they are. Kara and Paula actually used to live together. In 1999 they meet each other in New York in front of the Brooklyn Diner. DioGauri was not doing that good with her song writing career. Paula heard some of her music and was an instant fan, so Abdul told Kara to quit her job in Billboard Magazine and come live with her. Paula thought if DioGauri was out in the hot spot of music that she may get noticed and get some experience. Miss. Abdul introduced Kara to her music publishers and the name Kara DioGauri was starting to mean something to singers who needed a number one hit but didn't have someone to write it. The two-some lived together for a year or two. Paula was about to start writing and working on her come-back album in 2000 when she decided to ask her present room-mate to help her work on one of her new songs. So Abdul and DioGauri started to write Spinning Around along with Ira Spickman and Osborne Bingham. Paula did not have enough time to write and record other songs for that album at the time so she decided that it wasn't the right time to record an album and sold her soon-to-be hit song to Kylie Minogue.

SO DON'T FORGET TO TUNE IN TO IDOL'S EIGHTH YEAR IN 2009
