Mariah needs to bring it artistically again. I'm not just talking musically,but image wise, album cover etc
I wouldn't mind a drawn album/ Cartoon esque cover
Something different, other than the same hand resting over head sexy pin-up pose.
Wow us Mimi
What I think, I would like to cover that fits him really as the great MC promo and why not get back by the sea sitting on the flow, example: the cover of Sade, or it seems to me that it is a chignion and she wears latino facing a city type... And, as such, as Mariah loves the sea from above like a siren and I had been thinking of a "My all" screeencaps or it was exactly as here but we... It shows all the time from the front with his Mole revealed. And Yes, it is his trademark and it is well but the artist we are missing at the time...That for me, his best cover remains of "Emotions" or laughs the hair almost unrecognizable (arm, believed to a Black LOL, small optical effect? Is this voluntary?)
I'm not just saying this a a Mariah fan, but wasn't it Nicki who started all the shady moments? She tried to shade Mariah but Mariah would quickly turn it round and Nicki would just laugh and not know what to say.
I expected that Mariah was pissed at Nicki (as she wanted to be the only female judge) but the only shade I've seen from Mariah was retaliatory after Nicki instigated it. On Ellen Nicki said that she didn't believe the rumours (that Mariah didnt want her there) at first, which I believed, but she was really insecure even on the first day auditions. Its like she felt she had to justify her appointment and did this by acting crazy.
Anyone notice how she immediately sat in the middle to force the spotlight on herself? I think Nicki is entertaining but she needs to stop trying to undermine Mariah. It's never going to work. If that's how she's trying to justify her spot as a judge on a singing competition she's failing.
this isnt new nicki always starts things with someone lol
Do any of you have the video of mimi and nicki arguing over mean girls? It gave me such a major kii last night and I need to see it again I have been looking everywhere
It was very obvious how insecure Nicki is when it comes to Mariah and really in general. She's doing too much and looking mighty pressed in the mean time. Sad. Maybe things will turn around though.
Moving on... TV Guide rates the judges:
But enough about the collective dynamic. How do the new judges rate individually? Here's our take:
Mariah Carey: "The definition of diva," as the show's intro described Carey, skillfully treads the line between being friendly and respectful to the contestants, while at the same time offering them constructive feedback about their talents or lack thereof. And the best part? She seems to not only be taking the role seriously, but also shows genuine interest — or does a great job of faking it — when indulging hopefuls that are also die-hard fans, like Tina Torres, the sweet alumni of Camp Mariah who showed the singer a picture of herself when she first sang for Carey at age 13. (Cue the first Minaj eyeroll.) Grade: A-
Nicki Minaj: If the season premiere is any indication, Minaj will spend most of her critiquing time, if not taking digs at Carey, either flirting with the contestants (enough to warrant a montage) or judging them on their entire stage presence, rather than just their singing. Hey, Nicki — this isn't The X Factor. Minaj also has an uncanny knack for making several of the auditions about her. Remember the girl the pop star accused of starting a "rivalry" with her because they were wearing the same color eyeshadow? And what's with the fake British accent? She's not Madonna! As for her feedback, the only hopeful a perked-up Minaj truly fought for to send to Hollywood performed "Super Bass" as one of her songs. Grade: C
Keith Urban: Poor Keith. When Urban offers feedback, it's thoughtful, well-considered, and effective. But Mr. Nicole Kidman's primary role, it would seem, is to be the voice of reason in this circus, to act as a buffer between Carey and Minaj, whose outsize personalities and attempts to one-up each other overshadow the soft-spoken country singer. Still, Urban's the only judge who meshes with the "white boy with guitar" aesthetic the show has exhibited in recent years, so maybe he'll step up his game once the live shows begin. And we think we heard him crack a few choice jokes in there. Grade: B-

I'm watching American Idol's first episode very soon. I already watched that crazy guy scene where he is claiming "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is the best modern day Christmas song ever.
I'm already over A.I. -- I hate "reality" shows and I feel like I'm forcing myself to watch this. I didn't even originally want to watch but the only reason I'm doing so is because Mariah is on it.
I doubt I'll be an avid watcher through out the season.
I have no idea if it was staged or not. I'd say no, but it's just a guess.
We are her childrens!^^ 
I have been looking everywhere
