Mariah Carey was on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday and he wanted to know if there is any truth to the rumor that she told Lionel Richie not to do American Idol. The singer responded with, “If I didn’t I should have.” She did not explain why she said that.
Then she realized that people might misconstrue what she said, thus the diva elaborated what she was trying to say. It is not that she thinks he would be a bad judge, but instead what she meant was that she “did not have the world’s best experience” on AI. Then the ABC host wanted to know what was the worst part of being on the singing competition. The woman, who is an open book, closed that chapter of her life. All she would say is that she had some great hairstyles on the show.
I hope someday she writes an autobiography and details why she hated Idol so much. But knowing her, it won’t even a be a page to rip out of her book.
