Kara DioGuardi Recalls 'Craziest' Writing Session
Kara DioGuardi may live on the west coast, but she finds plenty of inspiration in Tennessee. The former 'American Idol' judge is spending time with previous 'AI' champ Carrie Underwood, writing for the superstar's next album. While Kara expects a creative burst in Nashville, nothing will top their last writing session, when the two penned Carrie's last two singles -- 'Undo It' and 'Mama's Song' -- in record time.
"We wrote those two songs in one day," Kara tells Billboard. "It was the craziest session I've ever had. To write two songs in five hours that both charted was ridiculous."
