MARIAH CAREY IN FINAL TALKS ABOUT JOINING AMERICAN IDOL

Mariah CareyMARIAH Carey looks set to be American Idol‘s newest judge — according to host Ryan Seacrest!

Seacrest told E! News that the pop superstar — who’s currently on holiday in Brazil — is in “final stages” of talks with the hit TV talent show’s producers.

“We are in the final stages of talks to have her on the show,” he said.

Carey’s husband Nick Cannon recently revealed that the singer would “love” to be a judge on Idol.

“You know what? She talks about it,” he said earlier this month. “She says, ‘I would love to do that.’

“She is one of the greatest singers of our time; she would be great. I don’t know if she has enough time, though, but if they could work with her schedule, I know she would love to do Idol.”

Meanwhile, Carey has sparked rumors she’s pregnant with her first child after photos of her performing in Brazil this past weekend showed her with a much fuller stomach. 

Mariah revealed last year that she and Nick have “discussed” having kids.

“We’ve definitely discussed it,” she said in November. “The only thing is that at this particular moment, it’s almost Christmas. He’s doing his work and I’m promoting and doing all this stuff. Right now is not the moment.

“My parents were divorced and it’s not like, ‘Oh, woe is me!’ A lot of people’s parents are divorced but I would just like to have a nice, normal life for that moment.”

    Words cannot describe how happy I am to hear the news that my favourite artist Mariah Carey is considered for joining AI as a judge. Afterall, this is a singing competition, so you really need to select a judge who can sing extremely well as the ‘voice’ is judged. You need an AI or idol who represents a singer who can really ‘sing’ and not only based on looks, popularity or character traits. I applaud the AI producers for making the right choice in picking Mariah as nobody can sing like Mariah! She is definitely the best female singer whose amazing voice earns a place in the Guiness Book of Records and even has the most No. 1 hit singles. Ask any mediocre singers to sing Mariah Carey’s songs or sing like Mariah but they cannot ‘nail’ Mariah’s songs. But if you ask Mariah to sing other singers’ songs is like putting the original singers to shame as Mariah sings so much better than the original singers. Enough said …
