"Kara DioGuardi has admitted that she found joining the American Idol panel nervewracking. The fourth judge said that she didn&amp;#039;t properly realise how &amp;quot;huge&amp;quot; the Fox show was until she took on the role and joined Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell. &amp;quot;I probably in my own way didn&amp;#039;t really take in what a huge thing it was,&amp;quot; she told The AP.  &amp;quot;Until I kind of showed up and was like, &amp;#039;Oh my God! What am I doing here? This is, like, huge!&amp;#039; And then it really hit me when we went live that, wow, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;ve got to speak live in front of 30 million people?&amp;#039;&amp;quot; She continued: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not an easy job. I mean, there was nothing wrong with that panel. It wasn&amp;#039;t like I had to fix something. It was great. So to come in and kind of be part of it was really tricky.  &amp;quot;So I look at it sometimes and I think, &amp;#039;All right, maybe I could have done this better or that better,&amp;#039; but I&amp;#039;m literally just trying not to act like a bumbling moron because I&amp;#039;m so, you know, nervous at times.&amp;quot; Meanwhile, Idol executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz has insisted that there are no immediate plans to return to the old three-judge format and ditch DioGuardi. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re certainly not talking about going back to three at this point,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re pleased with the fourth judge.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
