Mariah Carey will mentor the Idols

As if we don't hear enough diva music on the show, Randy Jackson reveals that Mariah Carey will be a mentor on this year's show. Does this mean a Mariah Carey theme week? That seems unfairly weighted toward David Archuleta and his melismatic, corny diva-isms. Though it would also mean a hilarious performance from Amanda. Or will it just be another "Music that Mariah likes" week like Gwen Stefani's VFTW victory train wreck week last year? Either way, a terrible week of awfulness is on the horizon, so we're happy either way. Randy is also asked about VFTW in the article and he says, "I don't even know what that's about. It's just more haters cashing in." Come on, dawg. Haters? Sounds a bit pitchy to us.

I hope the songs will be from Glitter. Greatest album EVAH, sung by the BEST SEASON'S CAST EVAH!

This is perfect. She can mentor the contestants on how to suck really hard and break their record contracts too.

This is almost a "Jump the Shark" moment, but I'll hold off on that call until they bring Whitney on the show.

Perhaps she can mentor Paula on dealing with "exhaustion."

This literally ruined my day. this isnt even one of the funny VFTW-worthy mentors like Gwen Stefani; just an annoying attempt for a ratings boost.

for anyone else annoyed by this, here's something to cheer you up.

I can't wait for this train wreck to happen! I think we'll be talking about this one for years to come...if it doesn't kill us first!

Making it a 'glitter' theme might be the only way to save it. At least it would be campy-bad.
