American Idol Season 8 starts Tuesday night with new contestants and new executive producers. But the real star of the Phoenix auditions was the new American Idol judge, songwriter Kara DioGuardi.

Kara DioGuardi on her first day encountered a 16-year-old superfan and a back-talking babe in a bikini.
But other than DioGuardi, not much has changed. A seemingly endless line of clueless singers determined to make it to Hollywood, a couple of sentimental stories with sweet voices attached.

Of course, there’s also the occasional surprise, like Simon Cowell passing through Brianna Quijada after putting her through the wringer for her version of Killing Me Softly With His Song. But if any serious contenders came from Phoenix, they’ll have to do some serious convincing of fans and judges alike.
