Oh Mimi! Mariah Carey dished on her time as a judge on American Idol, with the crew at 105.1 the Breakfast Club, and her take, at this point, is dripping with attitude!
Lucky for us, she addresses the Idol stuff at the top of the interview. No need to slog through all 40 minutes! Unless you want to, that is.
“I was very professional on that show, and that’s all I have to say,” sniffed Mariah. When a DJ brought up her fellow judge and nemesis, Nicki Minaj, Mariah was all “What?” and “I don’t EVEN remember what that was.” She added, “That was a moment in my life that I’m going to press DELETE.”
When asked if she regretted doing Idol, there was a long pause before she turned it on the DJs, and asked what they thought. “It wasn’t a bad look for you at all,” said a DJ. “Plus you got a 12 million dollar check.”
“MORE than that,” corrected Mariah. “I wouldn’t have done it for 12.”
“Honestly,” said Mariah, “I was hoping to be more of a mentor, for the…contestants.”
“I wanted to and did give them input on the side, when I could.” she revealed, “There were certain contestants that I was upset when they would get…”
She stopped herself here, afraid she might violate the terms of her contract. “I think I can’t really say certain things.” But then she snarked, “Everybody else seems to say whatever they want to say.”
“Just to make a long story short,” said Mariah, “I wasn’t happy there because I felt I couldn’t be real.” (Hm. Is she hinting at producer interference?)
