Kara DioGuardi is a Bikini Babe

Kara DioGuardi is a Bikini Babe

American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi strips down to her bikini while performing onstage during the American Idol Season 8 Grand Finale held at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on Wednesday (May 20) in Los Angeles.

The 38-year-old sang a duet with Katrina Darrell, aka Bikini Girl. The twosome performed their own rendition of Mariah Carey‘s “Vision of Love.” Watch the performance below!

FYI: As host Ryan Seacrest so poignantly pointed out, Katrina got breast implants since we last saw her during auditions!

Hahaha this was too funny! I liked seeing her do that because it showed more of her funny side. I’m really dissapointed Adam didn’t win. He was the one that really deserved it. Kris can go suck an egg.

Damn Bikini chick is the real winner. LOL

It looked like Bikini Girl was upset that the AI judge came out o sing. She proboly though she was singing the entire song herself. If you look towards the end Bikini Girl started to sing again. She looked dumb and couldn’t sing regardless.

can’t believe Kris won this $hit! that guy sounds like just another singer around. he might be the “winner” but I don’t think he’ll have a good career out of that boy next door crap! Adam is unique and LITERALLY rocks the show! regarding Kara… I’ll creampie her all night long! :)

1. Adam totally should’ve won! -__-

2. Katrina def gained weight. She got a little thicker ;)

3. Bahahaha i love Kara now. she’s so funny.

4. I thought Katrina was gonna have a nipple slip too! She needed to fix her top. Looked a LITTLE *****-ish (;

That was by far the best part of the whole show.
Kara was great. She totally humiliated bikini girl.
And when she popped open the dress, it was like, “take THAT *****”!!!
Priceless!!!

I’m surprised at such the hard body that Kara Rocks. I like a softer looking body such as Katrina’s for myself. I’m not shocked that Kris Allen won because he’s got universal appeal. He’s a cross between David Archuleta and David Cook…. I think Adam and the other guy I think his name is Daniel, are all safe for getting record deals…and Jason Miraz, I didn’t know he was a contestant…I like his voice and style…he’s a star on his own…The show was great and these idols showed they can sing with the best of the Legends of Music.

this was one of the highlights of the show…. i was laughing for several moments…. kara is the best…. she showed her funny side and really showed that no good girl how to sing it…. :-)… and when she showed her body…. it was just priceless haha

ahhaha this was great! kara rocks..and i love how bikini girl was giving her dirty looks like really how old are we?

bikini girl is a talentless insecure gal
thinking that huge deformed breast implants will help her career
yes maybe for movies that are not mainstream – you get my meaning
she has a very average body
short legs pot sticking out
no class
and very unsexy
she opens her mouth and it only gets worse
too bad idol gave her more fame ***** time

Did anyone notice that bikini girl’s boob got bigger than the last time she audition. It’s so easy to point them now. you all know that don’t you?

That was just embarassing–Kara should be ashamed of herself and she sure can’t sing worth a damn.

What a slap in the face of bikini girl she fell off her cloud when Kara came out singing, in my opinion way way sooo much better than BB…

She had it coming acting like that who would take her seriously anyway, BB girl that is.

I did enjoy all the performances of the AI finale…. but this part, I am really hoping that it would come and see Kara put her BB in her place. I wonder how she feels of herself right now, humiliated much?

I absolutely LOVED Kara!!! That was a fantastic bit! That poor bikini girl CANNOT SING!!!!! It was so embarrassing, except that I don’t think she realized how awful she sounded!!! Well, there go her 15 minutes! But Kara sang great! And she looks incredible. Kara was such a good sport, putting her arm around Bikini girl. Bikini girl was so obviously outplayed. It would have been so much better if she would have laughed but she couldn’t get that grumpy pout off her face!!!! Go Kara! In your FACE bikini girl!!!!!!!!

Cannot believe Kara stooped to her level! :( This is an entertaining FAMILY show on tv. Felt this was TOTALLY unnecessary! They should get rid of Kara anyways…who needs to hear an extra judge babble on more?!?!?!??? Keep it aimed at the SINGING or they WILL loose viewers! WOW, disappointed!!!

American Idol is still on TV? And who the hell is Kara DioGuardi? Never heard of her!!! In fact, havent heard much about the past few American Idol winners. No talent wanna-bees who became has-beens 10 minutes after winning. Believe me, if you have real talent you dont need to go on this train wreck to get noticed.

Yes, we need more more more of bikini girl. Your implants look great babe!

Thumb up Thumb down 0

god kara is so annoying.

Thumb up Thumb down 0

Bikini girl is insecure? Kara was insecure the moment Bikini girl entered the room. When the Bikini girl sang her song, Kara immediately jumped all over her, saying she didn’t have the pipes to sing that song. Then, Kara had to sing the song to demonstrate how its ‘really’ done. Kara just wanted to steal the attention away from her.

Kara’s actions (including the performance at the Idol finale) translate to ‘look at me! look at me! not the young girl with the body. I’m alive and youthful too! ‘

Kara is downright embarrassing. Can’t she see how transparent her actions are?

I loved it & laughed out loud! Ha…take that! That girl was rude to her at the audition. Kara was right on about that girl’s singing ability. It was a little risque for a family show, but it was great! I really like Kara on this show. She knows what she is talking about & is not afraid to speak her mind. She does not just tell everyone how pretty they are like Paula. It is tough to be the new kid!

I love that kara did that! Bikini babe was pi$$ed!
Kara has an awesome body and she’s 38? wtf!? she looks awesome! plus she did it for charity… not a boob job. enough said.

Talent and natural beauty beat that fake stuff any day.

Thanks Kara, your awesome!!!

I like Kara’s voice. We all know Kara can outsing the bikini girl. I do not like setting people up to humiliate them even if the person is conceited. I could not watch the bikini girl and Kara’s performance. I just could not see the humor in that performance. The performance seem mean to me JMO.

Definitely one of my favorite moments on the show last night when Kara came on stage and kicked bikini girl’s butt singing “Vision of Love.”

Bikini girl drives me insane…one, the only reason Randy and Simon liked her was because of her body; two, she was stuck up and a snob; three, she thinks she’s such an amazing singer, well guess what? Kara was right, her voice did not fit that song at all. She was NOT hitting the notes.

I’m so happy that she showed her who’s boss.

The look on BB’s face was priceless when Kara came out singing!!! LOLLOLLOL

Kara, you rock!! You showed that talentless BB that you’ve got way more talent than her. The look on BB’s face was priceless. You’re a much classier woman than that chick. Nice bod, too.

I hate Kara so much. She’s as much of an attention ***** as Bikini girl.

So, the question is…did Bikini Girl know ahead of time that Kara was joining her onstage? My husband & I say she was shocked and had no prior knowledge; our teens say BG knew all along and just acted surprised

Go Kara! Go Kara! You are doin’ it for the thirty plus divas… I believe in female unity we should all get along to be better ourselves and the wold as we live without hating on each other but damn you put that hughty b!%c#(Bikini Girl) in her place.(Trina I agree with you girl) She knows she was just a novelty. She should have been gracious enough to keep her mouth shut and go with the show. With her no singing self. I can’t stand that she was the show as long as she was They let her go to Hollywood? Well I guess if Sanjia…Anyway nice going I applaud “Miss Thang “Kara for doing it up for a charity and the thirty somethings who got it going on Now she makes sense to publicity stunt or not. It’s all good.

This was impressive
Kara should flaunt it more often.
Not only did she outshine rather all the Idol contestants (except…cough…for Adam Lambert) with her performance; she’s so very much better looking than the ‘bikini babe’ chick.

With regard to the vocals only, she should be a star.
oh, wait………………… yeah that’s right.

Kara literally stole the show…it was by far the best moment of the whole night — whole season. For the record she is not a 45 – 50 year lady as the media has reported. She’s 38 years young and looks awesome. I would love to re-see a clip portraying the moment when BG dissed Kara doing the auditions and the night when the divas battled it out. Kara, girl you got it going on. In the familiar words of Randy, you’d worked it out.

Kara upstaginging bikini girl was halarious..that’s what she gets for being rude to Kara at the audition. That was one of the hilights of the night for me…lol! Adam was awesome performing with KISS
Notice..they saved the best for last ? Yet Adam didn’t win.
Kris sounds ordinary..nothing special. My pic was Adam & Allison or Allison & Adam either one.

You’re right it is just you. Adam’s song with Kiss was pitiful. Adam sounds horrible, nothing special. I loved that he went last and his fans automatically thought that meant he won. Suckers.

@What:
What? Bakinni Girl has NO talent, but she SMOKES Kara when it comes to looks. Let’s not be ridiculous! Kara’s ribs poke out like someone who has been starved for a month in the desert. Yu are letting your dislike of bikinni girl cloud your objectivity. BB can’t sing, but she is fine!

@mhee: Its truly amazing how bias will drive people to be either overtly blind or just plain dishonest. BB is NOT a talented girl, but Kara can NOT touch BB as far as plain ol’ hottie factor goes. People will say the stupidest thngs, at times. I knew a high school cheerleader people would say was SOOO prety, but she was chunky and freckled. But she was liked by many, so they allowed that bias to influence them, even in spite of silly little things such as FACTS and REALITY. This is the same situation. You put these two girls at the beach or at a pub, dressed exactly like they were in these bikinnis, and Kara will be ignored until BB is picked up. BB absolutely, undeniable, SMOKES Kara…and I like Kara. But this is like saying that the president looks better than BradPitt just because he is more popular…BOTH are absurd positions.
BB is hot, smoking, curved in ALL the right spots while Kara is a skinny, starvation-diet poster child. I could count her ribs in this photo, but why would I? wow….bias is an amzing thing!

Cheap and tacky. Some dumb American obsession of requiring female performers to flaunt their bodies, as if it’s a requirement for success. They are merely pandering to shallow American mysogeny.
