‘AI’ gets a new judge? August 26, 2008

Maybe I haven’t been following the TV Squad as religiously as I should be. Instead, I got it from CNN.com.

But apparently, there’s a permanent new judge on American Idol.

This seems like a mistake. Although, I’m probably wrong.

Adding another judge will crowd the panel. It’s like saying that Paula Abdul isn’t doing enough (well…). It’s like balancing the panel because of peer pressure. (Not really sure who the peers are, though.)

However, it’s going to change things up. But American Idol is always pressed with time as it is, and now they’re just adding one other person’s comments to the already crammed show.

I guess I should mention her name — Kara DioGuardi. Apparently, she has credentials. But that’s all I know. I suppose no one knew Simon before AI.
