Mariah Carey throws Shade at American Idol Again, Calls Show "Fake" and "the Worst Experience"

There is certainly no love lost between Mariah Carey and American Idol.
The 45-year-old pop diva, who recently began her first concert residency in Las Vegas, said in a new interview that the reality show and singing competition series is "boring" and "fake" and that her time co-judging one season was the "worst experience" of her life.

Carey was a judge on American Idol in 2024, during season 12, and has bashed the show before. She joined fellow newbie Nicki Minaj in what marked one of several casting shakeups for the series, once the top-rated show on primetime for years. Its ratings peaked in 2024 and declined ever since, falling more than 60 percent for the recent 14th season. FOX announced earlier this month that season 15 will be the last.

"I mean, it’s so boring and so fake," Carey said in an interview with the Kyle & Jackie O show on Australian radio station KIIS-FM 1065 on Thursday. "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.’"

FOX and American Idol producers have not commented on her remarks.

When asked if she would return to American Idol for a finale reunion, if one takes place, she said, "Hell, no! Absolutely not, that was the worst experience of my life."

During her time on American Idol, Carey and Minaj were occasionally shown getting into several heated debates during the American Idol auditions and the live shows and sparked rumors of a feud. Their departure from the show was announced on the same day.

"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," Carey said on Kyle & Jackie O. "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 every**** else can like it!"

Randy Jackson, one of three original co-judges and the singer’s former bass player, also announced in 2024 that he would leave American Idol but ended upstaying for one more season. That year, Carey said on hip-hop radio station HOT 97’s Angie Martinez Show that she hated her experience on the series.

"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."

She later said, "Naw, I’m just playing. It didn’t affect me that much."

Carey is currently busy with her multi-million dollar #1 to Infinity concert series at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, where she performs 18 of her past No. 1 hit songs, such as "Vision of Love," "Fantasy" and "Hero."

She recently hung out in the city with fellow pop star and Grease actress Olivia Newton-John, 66, who has her own concert residency at the Flamingo Hotel & Casino titled Summer Nights.

Mariah Carey cancels Las Vegas concert after only a week

Mariah Carey cancels Las Vegas concert after only a week into her residency… as she claims to have bronchitis

13 May2020

She just began her residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas just a week ago.

But Mariah Carey has already cancelled last minute her scheduled performance on Wednesday night leaving many fans upset on Twitter.

Caesars posted a sign apologizing for the late cancellation but with no explanation for why the 45-year-old was a no-show.

The star, however, tweeted late on Wednesday night the reason for her absence: ‘Hey guys.. I’ve been fighting bronchitis for the past few days.. almost better but on mandatory vocal rest per doctor’s orders.’

Adding: ‘I’m so sorry to cancel tonight’s show but I promise to make it up to you!!! Love you always, MC’.

While some fans were angered the overwhelming majority on social media were supportive of the pop diva.

Struggling: The Vegas residency has suffered from poor sales

On January 15, Mariah announced her Vegas residency on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

‘I have to hope that the fans will enjoy this cause I’m gonna be performing, which was kind of inspired by my album #1’s, and this is now the updated version with 18 of them,’ she said during the appearance.

Following in the footsteps of Britney Spears, Shania Twain and Reba McEntire, the hitmaker very temporarily filled in for famed Caesars headliner Celine Dion, who later announced she is reprising her residency show after taking care of her ailing husband.

To Mariah’s disappointment, fans did not exactly rush to buy tickets when they went on sale in late January.

Poor ticket sales have left several of her upcoming concerts with empty seats and Mariah’s shows are falling behind early sales projections.

On having her twins, Monroe and Moroccan: “Pregnancy was probably the best and the hardest thing I’ll ever go through. I know for a lot of women, it can be wonderful and relatively easy. But for me, it was like ‘Okay, honey, do you have to do everything the hard way?’”

On losing weight with Jenny Craig’s eating plan: “I used to be able to slim down just by exercising more, but that’s changed. Since having the babies, I realize that 90 percent of losing weight is my diet.”

Mariah Carey: ‘I fire nannies if they try to make themselves more important than me’

On doing Idol
That was a moment in my life that I want to press ‘delete.’ I was hoping to be more of a mentor for the contestants… they chose to go another direction which was ‘reality tv.’
On how much she made for Idol
I got more [than 12 million]. I wouldn’t have done it for 12 [million].
On what Nick is doing for her for Valentine’s Day
He’s not even going to be home from what I hear now. The schedule dahling.
On if Nick is a hands-on dad
Nick, he has fun with dem babies when they’re fun. And then when it’s like they’re interfering with other things, they go to the crib, and that’s fine.
On Nick saying they have lots of sex
I can’t comment on Nick’s commentary. He should slow down and stop talking. I hope Nick’s listening. I would prefer to have a certain degree of decorum vs. just saying things for laughs.
On if she’s divorcing Nick
Yes we’re going to divorce court after we leave dahling. Dominican Republic here we come.
On having twins
Can anyone congratulate me for having twins? Imagine carrying two twins.
On if she has nannies
Unfortunately I have to have nannies but I’m very hands on. I go through nannies like this [snaps fingers] and I hate to do that but I have to, because if they try to make themselves more important in the baby’s mind than me… [makes cutting motion over throat]. I just brought a girl back home with me from Puerto Rico and she’s here.
