Didi Benami's performance of "Terrified" on the February 9th episode of American Idol may be gaining her some fans, but there's something she left out. The song "Terrified" is written by Kara DioGuardi (which Didi mentioned) and Jason Reeves. Jason Reeves is a songwriter who has worked with Colbie Caillat, Demi Lovato, and Katharine McPhee. On Didi's MySpace, she mentions that she has worked with Jason before, stating, "Special Thanks to Jason Reeves for being a magical genius collaborator. I look forward to seeing you again soon...and keep the magic flowing...."
So as much as Idol wants to portray Didi as a random waitress with a dead friend who decided to try out for Idol, she's actually a singer in Los Angeles with connections to songwriters. She hasn't exactly worked with mega stars, but she's clearly a lot more connected than the other contestants. That's a little different than the show's spinning it.

Kara probably knew that and made sure the plant sang HER song also and had 19e put it on tv. I noticed last night after the show there were like 100 tweets about Didi singing Kara's song. Like any slob watching Idol would think of that. It appeared to be a concerted effort to mention that and plug her and her song. I smell a planty plant.

Don't you just love it when that first fishy whiff of Idol corruption starts to leak out into the wider atmosphere? And by fishy whiff I do not refer to Kara's damp patch.

These started to appear last night and today after the plant sang Kara's song on the show. hmmmm? I smell cross promotion. I also wouldn't doubt that "slip" by Kara about that fugly Andrew Garcia was also to promote Adam's CD...which surprise, surprise she wrote songs for that also. So is Kara using her position on Idol to promote her crap?
