Mariah Carey In Talks To Join US 'X Factor' Full Time?

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (1)

Mariah Carey’s name has been thrown around a few times surrounding the final cast for the US X Factor. But the diva’s name appeared to be off the table while she was busy awaiting the birth of her twins. Mariah has since given birth to her twins, Simon Cowell‘s US X Factor appears to have it’s judges, yet Mariah Carey’s names is back on the table.

According to EW Mariah may serve as mentor to the contestants in addition,

“Mariah and Simon are great friends, and now [that] she has had her babies, it’s very possible that she will be involved [in] some way in the later stages of the show. She has always said she wanted to work with the show, so it’s something they will certainly be discussing ideas for soon.”

Simon hasn’t hid his desires to sign Mariah,

I met her recently and she was on great form. And her idea was to be the judge of the judges, which only Mariah could come up with.”

“She’ll be involved in some form. I literally adore her. I love her to bits.”

Mariah Carey a mentor? Sounds like Simon Cowell may be hatching a plan to put Nicole Scherzinger on the back burner and bring Mariah Carey front and center…just a thought..

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
