SNEAK PEEK! What to Expect From Mariah Carey on American Idol
American Idol judge Randy Jackson tells Us Weekly that producers have been trying to get Mariah Carey on the hit Fox show for the past couple of seasons.
Their time has come.
Carey, 38 — whose new disc E=MC2 drops today — pops by the show tonight to mentor the seven remaining contestants.
"She’s going to bring a wealth of knowledge about singing to these kids," says Jackson of the newly svelte singer, who will also perform. "It’s amazing for us to have her on.
"She’s kind of what the show’s about — she’s that girl who grew up in New York, who struggled to become that singer."
Now, Jackson says, "she’s won the Holy Grail. She sold 175 million albums! I don’t know if anyone will ever get to that point ever again because the music business is in such disarray."
On tonight’s show, contestants will perform songs from Carey’s extensive catalogue.
So will David Cook belt out "Vision of Love?"
"You never know!" Jackson tells Us. "Just because you’re a rocker or a country singer doesn’t mean you can’t sing these songs - you adapt them to what you do best."
Adds Jackson, "I’m sure these kids will have a good time."

Well, yeah, that is true. But it’s like Captain-Obvious said (an I don’t mean to call you a Nazi). But why does it matter? Is it because they are worth more? Because if we’re going by impact, well, If I killed 3 million people, then I’d have a large impact on the world.
Where is the fun in that?
he could have been prescribed the medicine.
Soldiers are expected to be killed during war time. - That’s not news. Rich pretty boy actors are expected to have lot’s of sex with lot’s of hot chicks and live like Heffner. When they die out of stupidity it is news. Especially when they make batman movies.
Did you research this? Maybe some other guys in the world named Heath Ledger died in 08.
