  • When I used to watch American Idol I quickly learned how valuable Kara's feed back was to the contestants. Sad she is off that show. She gave constructive valuable and reasonable advise just as good as Simon did. She understood the artist and what she was talking about. I seen her give my Anthony Snape advise on video (Taxi) and yet again the valuable advise is always just that. Wayne

  • Congratulations to Kara for the fine achievement. Nice to see Nick in the video. Kara is a great inspiration. I admire her talent/songs. Very Nice. Wayne

  • I never knew all this about Kara. I never knew that most of the songs I love are written by her! I never knew she could sing so well! What a surprise! I'm so inspired by her! Wow Kara! I'm your newest fan!

  • vegassipu, you are so correct! She is an asset to the republican party! Lets vote for her dad!

  • thats not her jack asses

  • 2007? This is actually a year before she officially joined Idol.

    I think Kara's a great role model for young girls and grown women; she's hard working, stands on her ground, uses her talents to help other performers, and rarely holds a grudge. I think more ppl should accept her as a role model.

  • beautiful she is

  • i love KD!!!!!!

  • All this of course happened way before the American Idol. She is an amazing artist and a brilliant songwriter but what I love most about her is her passion and love for her family. She is educated, highly intelligent, extremely talented and  also blessed with a great sense of humor. Someone paid "bikini girl" to get a pair of boobies, but money can't buy talent... and she can only wish that she'd look as good in a bikini in 10 years. Kara looked fabulous! Way to go girl!!!!

  • Kara DioGuardi and Regis Philbin have Albanian roots 

    /watch?v=ZVFMEL-

  • i loooooove her. what she says about italians is absolutely right - about temperament - you can hear and see that in her singing - very passionate and expressive way of her singing  - thats like opera and real art - i love that

  • yeee itallly:) i love kara. amazing

  • She is Arberesh(Albanian-Italian).The­y are the Albanians who immigrated to Italy because of the Ottoman Empire invaded Albania.Arberesh fought the Turks to death,and never surrender.Google Skanderbeg or Arberesh.

  • woot. italian! represent.

  • haha! true! she kinda looks like an older Leighton Meester!

  • Father= Arberesh Albanian

    Mother= Italian

  • I have a correction to make. Joe's  grandmother was Albanian, but so was his father. He is half Albanian and half Italian.

  • Joe Dioguardi's grandmother was Albanian.

    His mother was an Arbereshi Albanian. Arbereshi Albanian's went to Italy to escape the Ottomens more than 500 years ago.

  • Congratulations Kara and Joe.

    Thank you Joe and Shirly for representing the Albanians all over the world. All Albanains are honored to have you and Shirly represent us and fight for our cause. God Bless you and your family.

  • SHES NOT FRIKKING ITALIAN SHES ALBANIAN!!! look it up dam

  • Ah, Tirana Bari and Napoli are in Italy.

  • She's both.  Look it up.

  • Sometimes when the camera catches her the right way, she kinda looks like an older Leighton Meester from Gossip Girls. Anyone?

  • DioGuardi def: (In Italian, God is watching / caring)

  • italian american... italian american... shes proud italian american and thats it. they are not albanian tonight at all! thats a shame!

  • paula abdul should be upset.. she is much prettier and talented

  • Paula Abdul upset at Kara Dioguardi?? Kidding me lol, do you have any idea how big of a name Paula Abdul is compared to Kara? And if you watched last night with Paula's hot ass cleavage I'd wager against prettier...

    Don't get me wrong Kara is hot and talented but in NO WAY , shape or form outshines Paula.

  • Albanian!

  • she is the daughter of Joe DioGuardi, wich is an albanian american former Congressman!

    Forca Shqipëria!!

  • She doesnt look like italian.

    Everyon speaks with Hands!

  • They could have at least mentioned her ancestry!

  • She is albanian (arbereshe)

  • Thats weird b/c i thought she was albanian

  • haha lol thats wat i was thinking wen i was watching it...

  • Her dad's family is from a village in Italy that was founded by a group of Albanians, and her mom was just Italian, I think.

  • It's not just by a group of Albanians. It's the Albanians that have fled from Arberia back when the Ottoman Empire had successfully conquered the land and overthrown It's people. Many had fled in fear of the Ottoman Cruelty and Mass Beheadings they had practiced just a few years after the death of the great National Hero, Gjergj Kastrioti (Scanderbeg) and that is why they are still called Arbëresh to this day. It's what ignorant people nowadays would insultingly call "Greater Albania".

  • No her mom is albanian too.She said it in an interview.Why seh keeps saying italian,she should say that her ancestors,lived in italy,but spoke albanian,and are albanians.Her father is the president of the Albanian American Civic League.

  • if she doesent want to mention her ancestor then let her.

    The important thing is that her father is albanian.

  • Kara DioGuardi is going to be the new American Idol judge.

  • awesome

  • Kara is wonderful and has had such a positive impact on the music industry. Her future is her own and she will bestowed the best and deserves every bit of it!!
