Prior to serving as a member of Idol's eighth and ninth season judging panel, DioGuardi also served as a judge for The One: Making a Music Star, a short-lived Idol-like singing competition which aired on ABC in Summer 2006.

Earlier this fall, Bravo announced DioGuardi will serve as the head judge of Going Platinum, a new reality competition for singer-songwriters.

She hasn't always made the perfect choice, but she's always had a good reason behind things." Of Lee DioGuardi said, "He really is what the show is all about. In many ways he was the heart of the season. He's who people routed for."
