Do You Want To See Mariah Carey on 'American Idol'?

Attention American Idol fans: A new judge may be on the way and she is as high profile as a celebrity gets. According to Deadline, legendary recording artist Mariah Carey is very close to a deal to become a judge on FOX's long-running, popular show American Idol. Carey's salary, should the two sides come to terms, is said to be worth more than $17 million.

That's a lot of zeroes in her paycheck and they will come with great expectations from the FOX side. Those expectations mainly include higher ratings than last season, as well as more social media buzz. FOX is currently in the midst of revamping the show, which saw sagging ratings last season and the lack of an Emmy nomination. Veteran American Idol judge Randy Jackson is expected to stay on the show, but the decision will most likely not be up to him, but FOX.

As for Jackson's colleagues Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez, who are incredibly accomplished artists in their own right, they will not be returning for the upcoming season. As high profile as Tyler and Lopez are, their chemistry didn't translate to the ratings success FOX was paying for. Can Carey change that or is American Idol simply losing steam to its competition like The Voice and The X-Factor?

    My God no Mariah Carey. Isn't this show supposed to be about the contestants? When it started, we barely knew the judges, it was about the "kids". She would take over the spotlight, ..not something I would like to see. I would much rather have someone on who knew what the process was like for the contestants. -- someone like Clay Aiken. Smart, talented, quite funny, and who would know what they were going thru.

    Not really,because there'd be nights when she would be competing directly against her husband's show on a different network! I don't watch those shows any way because it's only another variation of "reality tv programming."

    Wait, I change my answer. If she's on the show that means less time she'll have to make records & try acting. Yes, she should be on the show.

    Nothing against her, just American Idol needs to just end already. It's gone downhill, can't compete against The Voice & X Factor, it's done.. Lost its appeal..

    I love listening to Mariah's talking voice. It's very soothing/warm. So, just for that, I'd watch just to hear her talk. But beyond that, yes, as a LOOOOONGtime fan of hers to know that in her prime she knew how to REEEALLY sing, I think she has authority to judge someone's singing, as opposed to someone like J-Lo or Steven Tyler, or even Britney Spears who will be judging this year's "X-factor". She shouldn't have authority to judge ANYBODY'S singing (presence on the stage, maybe but NOT singing). That also goes for J-Lo & Steven. I think it would be an honor for Idol to get an icon and one of the best selling artists of all time. I think she'd be able to give the contestants some good advice.

    I'd have to agree. It's losing its appeal, no matter who they have on there. Shoot, I stopped watching after maybe season 3?

    ok ur right most of the reason that i hate her is because she dissed eminem (but i did hate her befor that) and if u think eminem has no talent you obviously dont listin to lyrics whcth is what i judge on eminem has MUCH better lyrics than mariah just look at her songs "touch my body" "obsesed" then eminems songs "when im gone" "mocking bird" he writes songs that have meaning and come from the heart she writes songs about how hot and amazing she is mariah may have a better voice but he is better lyrically.

    lol! You will not read any post of mine saying how I know everything about eminem or his music, however, it seems like I know a bit more about Mariah's music than you do. Come on man,.. she doesn't just talk about "touch my body"..lol! I can go from the past to present.. She wrote a very emotional song I was just listening to the other day called "bye bye".. she also wrote "one sweet day". Both talk about the loved ones you've lost. She wrote "Fly like a bird" which talks about the next life (Heaven). She wrote the song "Hero" which encourages everyone to look inside themselves and they will find a hero within'. She wrote "Anytime You Need a Friend (I will be here)".. which is self explanatory. She wrote a song called "Butterfly" which is a story of how she must let her love go and if that person is meant for her he will come back to her OR you could relate that song to a lost loved one, (which many do). There are PLENTY of songs she wrote that haven't been radio songs but are on her records that touched me and I'm sure lots of others. I can go on, but if I did, I'd be here all day. Those are just to name a few off the top of my head. Shoot, how do you think she's one of the best female selling artists of all time. Great melody along w/ great voices and GREAT LYRICS (that SHE wrote) must come together to do that.
