Mariah Carey did not hold back when asked about American Idol in a recent interview. Judging by her answers she’s not still not a fan of the popular singing competition which she was a judge for back in 2013. In her interview on an Australian radio station she said the show was ‘boring’ and ‘fake.’
The diva was a judge on American Idol during the 2013 season. Over the course of the season Carey went through much drama, she even had problems with her then co-host Nicki Minaj. Recently, Fox announced that season 15 will be the final season for the show.
While doing the radio interview Carey threw shade at the show saying, “I mean, it’s so boring and so fake,” she continued, “I’m sorry, I just think it’s, you know, when I say it’s fake, I mean, it’s just like, you have to make up things to say about people. Half the time, the performances are good, you just be like ‘It was good.’ You just feel like ending it there, like, ‘It’s really good.'”
She was asked if she would consider returning to the show for the final season reunion and she said, “Hell, no! Absolutely not, that was the worst experience of my life.”
Carey also addressed her feud with Nicki Minaj blaming the producers for their drama. She said, “I’m not gonna get into what it was, but let’s just say I don’t think they had any intentions for us to have a good experience doing that show…pinning two females against each other wasn’t cool,” she added “It should’ve been about the contestants instead of being about some non-existent feud that turned into like more ridiculousness and I would never want to be involved with it again. But everybody else can like it!”
This is not the first time Carey has voiced her opinion about Idol. That same year she was a judge she told Angie Martinez how much she hated the experience, she even hated working with her former band member Randy Jackson.
The diva said, “They gave me a nice dangling monetary moment, and I was just like, ‘Okay. Randy Jackson will be there; I’ve known him forever. He used to play bass for me. Like, this isn’t a big deal. This will be nothing,'” she said. “But it wasn’t that. It was like going to work every day in hell with Satan.”
But later she added, “Naw, I’m just playing. It didn’t affect me that much.”
The 45 year-old mother of two has recently started a residency in Las Vegas.
