It’s no secret that Kara DioGuardi is our least favorite person American Idol judge, and we weren’t sad to see her get canned from the series. But DioGuardi, whose father says she found out she was fired after reading it in the paper, is now claiming that she intended to leave the show anyway and tried to quit Idol two months before she was let go. We are admittedly only doubtful of this because we have a personal vendetta against her (if you want fair and balanced Idol coverage you’ll have to go elsewhere, we have a passionate love/hate relationship with this show) but honestly, this just seems like a lame attempt to save face.
We don’t doubt that this could be true, but what we have a problem with is making it public just to be like “Guys, seriously, I didn’t even want to be on this show anymore.” DioGuardi isn’t a born television personality. She should just go back to writing decent pop songs while living in obscurity, we’d all be thrilled with that plan. She doesn’t need to make the public like her or think she was already over Idol in the first place. It’s cool, Kara – go help Ke$ha write something halfway tolerable, lord knows she could use you.
