This week Mary and Kelsey discuss the lyrical genius of songwriter to all of our y2k favs, Kara DioGuardi, and her memoir, A Helluva High Note: Surviving Life, Love and American Idol. You may know Kara as the initially ill-received fourth American Idol judge, but did you also know she wrote Pieces Of Me, Ashlee Simpson’s debut single, or Enrique Iglesias’ Escape? She’s also collaborated with Hillary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Backstreet Boys, to name a few.

Brian, Nick, Kevin, Howie and AJ have heard our cries and they are making our fan dreams come true: the Backstreet Boys are summoning fans to create their dream setlist…and they are actually going to perform it at their upcoming fan event in Cancun this spring! For their “30 for 30” concert, the boys are asking fans to vote on their top 30 songs they want to see performed that weekend in celebration of their 30th anniversary. The list of available songs includes some oldies, b-sides and even the elusive “I Want It That Way (No Goodbyes)” version with alternative lyrics that actually make sense. In this episode, Mary and Kelsey each selected their top 10 songs they *must* hear and made their case for each track, and it’s filled with deep cuts and hilarious banter.
