		DioGuardi is also a master of the fine art of collaboration, scoring hits with some of the industry’s top A-list writers and producers.
		DioGuardi continued making progress in her artistic pursuits, obtaining a recording contract from MCA (as part of a group) by 1995.
		Although many of the songs DioGuardi writes are geared towards the teen pop market, she has a lifetime of romantic ups and downs to draw from: “I look at my life and write from the perspective of finding truth that people of all ages can relate to.

		After alternating between these two tracks its amazing that DioGuardi is able to make her voice chameleon-like, something many vocalists are afraid to do but something that she should be commended for.
		Kara's vocal is again the main treat of the song with lyrics that.
		Sounding like it could be a Faith Hill outtake, Kara really gets to showcase her good vocals and I have a feeling that this one'll be released as a single when it undoubtedly is released on the proper 'modern' release in early 2007.

	andPOP \| ABC Cancels 'The One:' Judge Kara DioGuardi Speaks Out (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		DioGuardi also says that the debut episode -- which often makes or breaks a new show -- suffered from crippling sound problems.
		Because of the low ratings, the fact that the show was cancelled was no surprise, but DioGuardi says the show's contestants, whom she formed close relationships with, were literally left in the dark.
		Though DioGuardi's career didn't rely on the show's success (she's currently promoting Platinum Weird, her new project with Eurythmics' Dave Stewart), she knows The One's contestants aren't as lucky.

		A lot of this has to do with Erin Grace, actually a pseudonym of Kara DioGuardi, a strong vocalist and songwriter who has worked for Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and plenty of the American Idol winners and finalists.
		DioGuardi does make an attempt to write outside of her usual style, but she's not trying to recapture the '70s at all.
		In the end, Stewart comes off as an incredibly bland eccentric for claiming this is more mysterious and wild than it is, while DioGuardi steals the show with her inspired performance.

	Get Ready to ROCK! Interview with Dave Stewart of pop band Eurythmics and rock band Platinum Weird, October 2006
		With musical partner, Kara DioGuardi (the top American songwriter who has penned hits for Kylie and Kelly Clarkson amongst others) he has used the spirit of his formative years to fashion both a story and a new sound.
		We would write two songs in an afternoon and be finished at 6 and then go out and have a driink and then come back and fix the lyrics.
		The funny thing is when Kara and I write together we can't remember afterwards how we did it, and that was the same thing with Annie and I. The whole album took about three weeks, writing and recording.

	village voice > music > Platinum Weird by Frank Kogan
		Kara DioGuardi has been co-writer, co-producer, background singer, and probably bottle washer and therapist for a whole hunk of the best pop music of the last half-decade.
		DioGuardi's a deep-voiced toughie—just Stewart's type—and she'll often end tracks with gospel-based fireworks, shouting and vamping over the background vocals.
		What Kara needs is her own Kara DioGuardi, someone to do for her what she did for Lindsay: draw her out and find a way to make her words and sounds into her words and sounds.

		Then, 30 years later, songwriter Kara DioGuardi met a neighbour in New York who would become a musical mentor to her.
		But despite all her experience, it doesn't mean that fronting a band was an easy challenge for DioGuardi; a few things took some time to get used to.
		Still, the one girl that eludes Stewart is the original -- the mysterious American from the 1970s, who he hasn't heard from since she jetted away 30 years ago.

	Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album by rock band Platinum Weird called Make Believe featuring Eurythmics guitarist ...
		Platinum Weird is a musical collaboration formed in 2004 between Dave Stewart and Kara DioGuardi.
		The PR behind this release would have you believe that having got together in 2004, Dave and Kara discovered a connection that led Dave to unearthing these unreleased 1974 recordings that he'd laid down with Kara's mentor Erin Grace in the band Platinum Weird for Elton John's Rocket label.
		The truth is that when they got together in 2004 to write for Pussycat Dolls, Dave and Kara found that what was flowing was classic 1970's soft rock of the sort purveyed so successfully by Fleetwood Mac at the time of Rumours.

	Platinum Weird Interview - 1980s
		I was busy working with Kara and we meant to be working on something else but within the first hour of meeting we really hit it off so much that we handcuffed each other together and we had great fun writing songs together.
		And then it cuts right into the modern day and it talks about Kara and her past and it shows how the power of the songs lives on.
		I don't know..this girl was very mysterious when I met her in Holland and she was always kind of dreamy the thing is she said she was called Erin Grace and I assumed that she was but we're convinced that isn't what her name was or she would have stepped up now.
