Kara DioGuardi has been been a judge for American Idol for two years but viewers still question her role as a judge.
She told a sold-out crowd at the Borgata Music Box in Atlantic City “A lot of people still ask, ‘Who is that girl sitting next to Ellen and Simon. I wanted to get out there and show a different side of me and show I do know what I am talking about.â€
About Simon, she said “It surprises me when Simon agrees with me. [I think to myself] ‘Is something wrong? Is someone paying you?’ [And then I realize] ‘Oh you already have enough money.”
She continues, “We’ve been getting along splendidly. I have mad respect for Simon. I kind of look up to him. He’s a bit older than me … way older than me — like 30 years!â€
