HOME > American Idol > American Idol 10 Kara DioGuardi: Harry Connick Jr. would be a good 'American Idol' fit
By Christopher Rocchio, 06/16/2010
Kara DioGuardi feels that Harry Connick, Jr. would be a good fit for the American Idol judging panel void left by Simon Cowell.
"[Cowell] does things that no one has ever done. He's created this tremendous character who is funny, still has a human side, but is just blatantly honest. So what I liked about Harry is he is put so much time into helping those contestants and I think he really did help them."
Connick served as an American Idol ninth-season musical mentor during the Top 5 performance episode early last month, and he subsequently stated he was unsure how good a judge he would be on the Fox reality series. Regardless of who it is, DioGuardi feels it is necessary for a fourth person to join the American Idol judging panel -- something that former executive producer Nigel Lythgoe recently stated isn't a good idea. "Now people have gotten used to four judges. When I first came on, it was definitely 'Oh she's taking over Paula,' which was not the case," explained DioGuardi. "I was never there to take Paula's position. I do think that the four judges works. It's really about getting someone who has a lot of experience in music to replace Simon."
