Like VFTW told you last week, Mariah Carey is now officially one of the new judges on American Idol. Now all they need to do is hire Tommy Mottola as the other judge and you'll really have some entertaining television!

If Mariah shows her true personality, she'll be the perfect judge who'll bring the perfect blend of credibility combined with massive bitchiness, diva like behavior and completely unpredictable drunken insanity that would make people want to watch this show again. But more likely, as her predecessors, she'll sell out and her most biting comment will be I love you! You're amazing!

Randy Jackson is Mariah's manager and apparently had a lot to do with landing her so we may have to deal with him a couple more seasons. But he may get stabbed in the back too, like Mariah did to Simon on The X Factor or as she's doing to her husband by going head-to-head against his TV show.

I think someone mentioned that this show is 98% about the Judges - a celebrity playground where unsuspecting wannabe's sell their horses or quit their jobs and use their grandma's pension to get through Hollywood week and Vegas.


A slim few go on to become a stars like Clarkson, Underwood, etc.; but only after they get-out of the Idol bubble and make their own deals. Some others get far enough to play in the business for a while, then have trouble finding a label to indulge them.


The celeb's cart-off mega-millions, with endorsements, appearances, record sales, etc.,along with their agents and record labels, all an inside-job. No wonder music talent shows are the new fad. Exploitation at it's finest.

I wonder if we'll continue to hear contestants being told that they shouldn't sing Mariah songs?


Signing Mariah and keeping Randy (if that's what happens) just shows how little Nigel really gets it. What little success any of this show's contestants have had in the last decade has almost exclusively been in country music. This show produces little pop success and no R & B.


I vote for Hank Williams Jr. as the 3rd judge.

They'll not be told to not sing Mariah's songs anymore, but they'll be told to not sing cheesy Aerosmith's songs anymore, like Crying, Dream On and IDWTMAT. Nobody will tell them to not sing J-Lo's songs because nobody would do it, as it's like happy birthday's degree level.

Can't wait to hear all the whining about it being a family show if she shows off a lot of her boobs.

Now that it's official, I am slightly more interested in Season 12.
