Mariah Carey has officially joined American Idol, and will be sitting on the judging panel next season. Rolling Stone is reporting that Carey got a walloping $18 million with a one-year option for her role on the show. This now makes her the highest earning judge on any music competition show. Silly us for making Britney Spears‘ $15 million seem like a lot of money. That’s nothing!
Carey told the press that she was very excited to be joining Idol. Before the deal was done, people speculated that she’d be getting somewhere in between $12 and $17 million to judge, but she beat that. Not only is Carey the newest judge, but her $18 million makes her the highest paid judge across the board.
According to Billboard, Randy Jackson is her manager and suggested Carey to Idol producers a long time ago.
Carey seems like a great fit for a competition show. She’s a singer, not just a performer. Maybe she’ll have better advice to give, who knows.
Still, two judges left the show. Carey fills one of the seats on the judging panel. Idol needs one more. And word is Charlie Sheen, Aretha Franklin and Adam Lambert are all interested in it.
What do you think? Is Mariah Carey a good addition to American Idol?
