'American Idol': Kara DioGuardi sings 'Terrified' on 'Lopez Tonight'

kara-doguardi-terrified-320.jpgKara DioGuardi put her money where her "American Idol" judging mouth is on "Lopez Tonight" Monday.

DioGuardi wasn't just a guest on Lopez's show -- she also performed. She and Jason Reeves sang "Terrified," the song she wrote for former "Idol" runner-up Katharine McPhee. The performance was part of DioGuardi's Turner Broadcasting tour Monday night (April 19) -- she and her fellow "Idol" judges also appeared on CNN's "Larry King Live" before her "Lopez Tonight" spot aired on TBS.

Lopez started by apologizing for repeatedly mangling her name in the past (and showed a montage of his flubs as proof), and they also discussed her naked photo shoot for Allure (the audience approved) and some other "Idol"-related business. Of her first season on the show last year, she says Simon Cowell "did sort of haze me," but she's being "more myself" this season.

After that, she made her TV performing debut with "Terrified." Have a listen.

She sucks.

She is so such a loser. She gives this song to Katharine Mcphee to record but because it is received well by an American Idol audience she wants it back. Kara do you take back your birthday presents you buy people in your life too? She's
coming across to me as someone very desperate who will step on anyone to get what she wants. Maybe that big Idol machine with their payola can make you what you wanna be and keep crushing the people who are deserving.

Kara is amazing! Nobody sings this song like she does. And just to clarify, she didn't write the song FOR Kat, she and Jason wrote it and it was later given to Kat for use on her album. Kara has every right to sing her own song whenever and wherever she wants!


I LOVED IT!!!! BEAUTIFUL VOICE

I was impressed, also.
Had no idea she was a singer as well as writer. Perfect judge on Idol. Quite a looker, too.Yes, I'm a fan!

ware shud I start? Haha lol porr thing. now off to see master yoda.

Sure Kara has a right to sing her own song but to blatantly not give Katharine Mcphee credit for recording it shows just how beautiful on the inside Kara is.

Kara has a beautiful voice.. You Go Girl!!

I agree with everything @Mary just said.

She was AMAZING!

And for the record, @MEOW, before she sang, when Lopez was interviewing her she did mention Katharine McPhee. So...there you go.

Ups, I wanted to say that I agree with @crazykarafan not @Mary of course! I'm a Kara fan ;)
