Kara DioGuardi insists that no matter what anybody thinks about the dynamics of the four judges on "American Idol," she has no beef with Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell or Randy
Jackson.
"There's no drama," the newest judge told MTV News. "The only thing I can tell you is, I'm a creative person. For me to do my job, to be in a studio, to work with artists that I sign, I have to be in a good creative place."
She added that because of her additional duties as a songwriter, she doesn't have time in her life for drama. "If I felt like everyone hated me at my job and it was torture and there were feuds, I wouldn't be able to write," she said. "I wouldn't be able to function, so it's just not true."
Aside from learning to deal with rumors, DioGuardi also had to learn to work every week on live TV. It's an adjustment that she is still trying to get used to. "You never can really know what it's like to go live in front of 30 million people until you're there," she said. "It's also very different to judge people like this and do it in a way that is nice but firm. It's a process, and I'm learning as I go."
Being that DioGuradi is a songwriter for people like Kelly Clarkson, is there any chance she will be writing this year's coronation tune? "We'll see if I can get it!"
