I’m especially curious to see how new judge Kara DioGuardi fits in with the old gang, Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul.
Update: New Idol judge, Kara DioGuardi, tells the Associated Press that she’s impressed by the male talent:
DioGuardi said she spotted some uniquely talented performers during tryouts, especially among the men. But the pressure is on them to keep improving or they’ll leave the door open for an underdog.
“They may have been great at the beginning but as the season goes on they have to keep upping it, ” she said.
