But the pressure is on them to keep improving or they’ll leave the door open for an underdog, she says.

DioGuardi, a songwriter-producer whose tunes have been recorded by Gwen Stefani, Faith Hill, Marc Anthony and others, joins veteran “American Idol” judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul on the show’s Jan. 13 season debut.
