Kara DioGuardi — the now and possibly future judge of “American Idol” — has co-written the winner’s first single. The song, entitled “No Boundaries,” was written with Cathy Dennis and Mitch Allan.
Before her season-long “Idol” tenure, DioGuardi was best known as a songwriter for such artists as Pink, Christina Aguilera and Kelly Clarkson. “No Boundaries” will be the first radio offering of either Adam Lambert or Kris Allen, who will face off on tonight’s performance show; the winner will be crowned Wednesday night.
For years, the “American Idol” winner has been saddled with mediocre debuts. In an interview last month, when asked whether she might offer her expertise to break this cycle, DioGuardi said: “I’ve been asked to. I’ve submitted something.”
When pressed for details, she said: “I did write one that – I won’t say it’s what they all write about. But it is, kind of. Because they asked for that! It’s not like you can submit anything, they have a criteria.”
What is it, like, I’m so happy?
“It’s about finding your dream,” DioGuardi said. “And the struggle. That’s what they want.”
And was that hard?
“No. It’s easy for me to talk about dreams and struggles. I’m in one right now. I’m in one right now!” She laughed, and continued. “Right? A dream and a struggle. At the same time. We’ll know soon enough if the fourth judge is on the chopping block. Won’t we?”
