Is there going to be a 4th judge on American Idol?

Question

I heard on the radio there is going to be a 4th judge on American Idol this year... Is it true?

Answer 1

It is true. Kara DioGuardi will be the fourth judge on American Idol this season. Here is some info I found on google.

Grammy-nominated songwriter Kara DioGuardi, will provide a little "girl power" to the judging panel according to a Fox executive.

Adding a fourth judge is no a novel idea according to the show's executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz.

"We had originally intended for American Idol to have four judges," she said.

DioGuardio has written songs recorded by Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood and Pink.

What do you think about adding a fourth judge to the mix? Will the chemistry be negatively affected. Will this give Paula less of an opportunity to make a fool of herself? We'll find out when the show debuts on Fox in January.

Answer 2

Yeah. It is true. The new judge will be the singer Kara DioGuardi.

Answer 3

Yes and it is stupid! What's gonna happen if two of them say yes and two of them say no to a contestant??

Answer 4

Yes, I heard it will be another woman but they did not say who.

Answer 5

The American Idol site reports that Kara DioGuardi will enter the scene as the fourth judge, meaning no one will be fired (for now?).
