Katrina Darrell Says Kara DioGuardi Looked "Stupid" on Stage
We weren't huge fans of Kara DioGuardi as the fourth American Idol judge this season.
Too often, the songwriter came across as overly serious and/or pompous.
Still, in DioGuardi's feud with former contestant Katrina Darrell, it's impossible not to take Kara's side.
This rivalry appeared to be dead following Wednesday night's unexpected duet between the pair, as they sung together on stage and even bared their bikini bodies together on stage.
Are you on Team Kara or Team Katrina?
However, sensing an opportunity to tack on a new 15 minutes of fame to her resume, Darrell called out DioGuardi in a new interview with Radar Online.
"I don't think she got the reaction she was hoping for. I think she probably thought I would cry or get mad, and I didn't - I played it off," Darrell said. "Looking back at the tape, she just made herself look stupid. She didn't make me look stupid."
Darrell says she had no idea Kara would join her on stage, a claim we find highly dubious.
Did Katrina really think she had earned her own performance on the finale?!?

haiz... I saw some silly comments here and decided to chime in to give my 2 cents.
No doubt Kara knows that her body are less hot, as she herself said on the stage in the end. But here's the thing. She had already won over BG through singing, it will be better if she let BG to win on the body side. Btw, the way Kara say to the host in the end, "I know, she had body" carry a bit of sarcastism that BG can't sing.
In the end of the day, it's entertaining that counts. Doesn't matter classy, professional or whatsoever.

***Did Katrina really think she had earned her own performance on the finale?!?*** I think the REAL question is Did Kara really think she was hotter thank Katrina?!?. That was the whole point of that stupid part.. she did look stupid doing that. She made a great valid point about the looks over singing.. but doing that at the end? It just made her defeated. Kara defeated herself with that stupid stunt. Katrina looks a hell lot hotter. Yeah, she might not have a better voice than Kara.. I think that was a given. But the unecessary bikini wear that Kara came out with? She's officially a dumbass.

i wasnt a big fan of kara but she has a kick ass voice and the little slut next to her should shut her freakin mouth for 3 reasons:
1. she looks and sounds like a chipmunk
2. she is DESPERATE for attention
3. she went off key WAY too many times

Loved Kara's performance at the AI final. Kara sang well and looked good too.
Kara is similar to a woman version of Simon that is willing to tell it like she sees it, good and bad, not that the other judges are not truthful and honest, but in a similar-to-Simon way. That she's a woman will be difficult to be as "harsh" as Simon because society expects women to be motherly and nurturing. She has a writer's perspective and can sing while Simon (well never heard him so maybe he) can't, and isn't afraid to on camera adds a nice mix to the past three-judge panel. Good job Kara!
Funny that BG still claims to be a singer/songwriter. If she were serious, she would have done her homework and concentrated on how to sing the song properly and would have improved her singing skills. Instead she obviously worked on what she'd look like. What a joke.
The tan thing
So what about the tan thing. It's just cosmetic. Kara's body looked slimmer and firmer than BG's and impressive especially co

Dear BG:
American Idol is a job interview.
You entered the wrong contest.
You looked nice; no one could deny you were hot.
But your bad attitude sucked.
You dissed people on national television and forgot people with internet and tv access were watching.
You made not-too-nice comments about Kara’s age and body etc. and forgot that the people with power to hire and fire are all “older” people.
You might have stepped on the one older person’s toes, the very person that might have hired you, could make you or break you, and more importantly, pay you.
Other bad thing is you involved your sister who should have shut her mouth.
Two peas in a pod.
In the long run, no one wants to work with snots; no one wants to hire snots either.
Now knowing how you really are, I’ve decided to never buy anything you endorse or pose in.
What goes around comes around.
Hopefully you’ll shape up.
In any case, now you are going to have to keep up that body until you’re practically dead

Yeah, everybody hates Bikini Girl. She's annoying. She's also young and attractive, which makes her a target for most women since we tend to eat our young when faced with that kind of sexual competition.
Kara Dioguardi is equally obnoxious. Maybe more so because she's old enough to know better than to get into a p*ssing contest with a skunk and, as a supposed professional, should have kept it all on a classier level. She has not been a welcome addition to Idol. A fourth judge was unnecessary, but picking her to be THAT fourth judge was a huge mistake. The woman does not have the likeability factor. Her arm-waving and facial contortions are unattractive and uncomfortable to watch and her critiques are redundant.
I hope they dump her now that the season is over.

Come on. You credit Katrina with enough intelligence to not be tricked into appearing on the show, thinking she was going to get to sing her song alone. I think it is obvious from her reaction and the nasty looks she flashed at Kara that she had NO CLUE she was going to share the stage with her. I thought it was the best moment of the show.

What world is this bimbo livign in?? It certainly isn't the real world. I admit...she could have a good voice with lots more practice and and more singing lessons. She really has no talent...and come on you all know you have seen better looking ladies in bikinis, so she is nothing new to ga-ga over. Kara was waaaay better than Katrina. Katrina was the one who looked stupid ever time she tried to sing and Kara outsang her. How can she not see in the tape that her voice was most of the time way off key? LOL...this little girl needs a reality check. oh...one more thing...Kara's demonstration WAS way better!

"Looking back at the tape, she just made herself look stupid. She didn't make me look stupid."
Sorry, hunny, but you're sadly mistaken. You looked like an idiot up there. You're too full of yourself and hello, big notes aren't meant to be turned into 15 different notes (all your oOoooOOOooO's goin' on).
