Mariah Carey Hires ‘Idol’ Judge As New Manager?

Published: Wednesday 16th Nov 2011 by David

In recent weeks, the world has been introduced to what can only be described as a ‘revamped’ Mariah Carey.

From flaunting a brand spanking new body to exciting her fans with news of upcoming music, it is fair to say that this year has seen the singer embrace a number of ‘fresh starts’.

Now it seems that her ‘out with the old and in with the new’ attitude has found its way to her business.

Because, she has reportedly hired  a new manager in the form American Idol judge Randy Jackson to jump start the next era of her career.

More below…

According to the Hollywood Reporter , the one time A&R executive is in talks with Carey to sign on her as manager.

Responsible for creating many of her releases, which include cuts that can be found on her ‘Emancipation Of Mimi‘ and ‘Charmbracelet’ LPs , Jackson is also the producer of her 2010 ‘Merry Christmas II U‘ album.

First introduced to each other when the ‘Idol’ judge was the Vice President of A&R at Columbia Records, where Mariah was signed to up until 2001, the alleged deal between the pair comes three years after the belter parted ways with Benny Medina in the midst of her ‘E=MC2′ campaign.

Already an influential hand in the careers of many a contemporary act, we here at That Grape Juice HQ can’t think of anyone better to head the Ms ‘Vision Of Love‘s career.

For, already proving himself to be a positive influence on her sound time and time again,fans can be  sure he will  have the same affect on her business strategy as a whole if this report does turn out to be true.

    Glad for both of them. I’m sure Randy has wanted to be a manager for some time now and Mariah was smart for letting someone new manager her music career/promotion.

    I hope not. Randy should stick behind the scenes in the studio with her. He managed Van Hunt for a while…where is he now?

    OH PLEASE…. RANDY JACKSON CAN’T EVEN MANAGE HIS OWN CAREER LET ALONE A MASSIVE FLOP NAMED F******. RECALL JACKSON WAS AN INCH FROM BEING FIRED FROM AMERICAN IDOL IF NOT FOR LEGAL CONTRACTUAL REASONS. OTHERWISE THE LAME BASS PLAYER WOULD BE GONE EONS AGO. F****** WILL GO THE SAME WAY. TRUTH!!!

    Her voice sounds like it did in the 90’s with the new Christmas song. It’s promising. Hopefully Randy will do a good job managing her. She’s getting serious about her career. I’m really excited to hear some music from her.

    100BLOCK & SALEM = SAME PERSON. Please don’t feed the trolls.
