Songs Written By Kara DioGuardi

Kara DioGuardi

Like you, I've been wondering what hit songs did the new judge on American Idol Kara DioGuardi write that articles refer to her as "legend" in the music scene. So I went digging and on her official site, there is a list of the songs which she's written.


  1. Walk Away - Kelly Clarkson

  2. Ain't No Other Man - Christina Aguillera

  3. Pieces Of Me - Ashlee Simpson

  4. Escape - Enrique Iglesias

  5. Rich Girl - Gwen Stefani

  6. Sober - Pink

  7. Come Clean - Hillary Duff

  8. Taking Chances - Celine Dion

  9. Beep - Pussycat Dolls

  10. Play My Music - Jonas Brothers

  11. Spinning Around - Kylie Minogue

  12. We've Got The Party - Hannah Montana And Jonas Brothers

  13. Baby Love - Nicole And Will.i.am

  14. I'm Feeling You - Michelle Branch And Santana

  15. Ohh Ohh Baby - Britney Spears

  16. Something That I Already Know - Backstreet Boys

  17. Lost - Faith Hill



The biggest or most well known hit on the list would be Spinning Around by Kylie Minogue with the rest being filler but at least she's current. One of the problems that American Idol had in the past was that it was always sinking into old school with producers and judges choosing songs by Elton John and other dinosaur rockers for the contestants most of whom are below 35.

With Kara DioGuardi who's written songs for Jonas Brothers and Britney Spears, at least she brings a youthful relevance to American Idol.
