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.

"...break their record contracts too."

That may be advice they'll be glad to have gotten once they've signed their existance away.

On the bright side, a Mariah Carey theme night would mean that we won't have to hear any good songs get butchered.

Oh great, now we're going to get a whole night of "That Song was too big for you" B.S. from Simon. 

It's your terrible song theme of the week, you jackelope!

Randy states in his interview that Mariah, Whitney and Celine are the best singers ever (I disagree), so let's have a night when all of their songs are butchered by these hacks! One positive though, at least Simon has heard of Mariah Carey, which can't be said for 90% of the artists they have covered this year...what a tool! Speaking of tools, notice how Randy suddenly becomes a Brooke White fan during the interview, when he fears someone with a better ear just showed him up.

Thanks for providing me great reading material twice a week Professor!

REALITY ROCKS: Yeah, I'd say if I named my five top faves, only one is a girl.

RANDY: And I bet that girl is Carly Smithson, huh?

*cough*

REALITY ROCKS: No! I like Brooke White!

lol.

RANDY: There's four or five boys, and definitely those two girls, and maybe one other girl, but I do think it's a boys' season to lose. The Michael Johns, the David Archueltas. And Carly and Brooke. It's probably those four in the top right now, for me.

Ugh. Too much pimpage.
