Kara DioGuardi is a Huge Ellen Fan

Kara DioGuardi was talking with Larry Flick on Sirius XM and said that she is very excited about the news that Ellen DeGeneres will be joining American Idol this season.

DioGuardi said, "I'm a huge Ellen DeGeneres fan, I think she's going to bring so much to the show. She's somebody who loves music, she's positive, she loves kids..she is somebody who has watched the show from the beginning, knows everything there is to know about American Idol and I think ultimately it's going to be a great new energy."
