Mariah Carey ‘X Factor USA’ Role Revealed

Published: Wednesday 24th Aug 2011 by David

Linked to the series since confirmation of its existence last year, Mariah Carey‘s role on the upcoming talent contest ‘X Factor USA‘  has remained shrouded in mystery for months.

Until now.

Find out exactly what Mrs. Carey- Cannon will be up to in the first season of the competition below…

According to People Magazine, the mother of two will indeed be playing the ‘role’ That Grape Juice reported  she would  be carrying out months ago.

The role of  serving as a judge’s guest.

The magazine reports:

“Mariah is definitely confirmed to be a part of X Factor. She is confirmed to tape something with Simon Cowell at the judge’s homes.  Each of the judges [Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger, and L.A. Reid] will tape something with mentors they have selected and Simon has selected Mariah to do that with him. The judge’s mentor the talent they pick and she will be working with them.”

Those familiar with the UK version of the show will be aware that in the final episode before the live showings, each judge enlists the help of a mentor to help pick and groom the performers competing  in the finals.

It is yet to be confirmed whether Mariah will make any further appearances in the show once she has aided Simon Cowell in selecting  his contestants.

To see how this usually works, just watch below:

    @Rihanna stan b**** chile plz, rihanna can’t even sing mariah carey’s hero…..and x-tina is such a flop she needed the voice to revitalize those embarassing album sales. X factor will be big in the usa. Trust me. And mariah has out-sold all of ur faves and has nothing else to prove. She bathes in her money while floponce and rihanna tires themselves on stage to reach her level. and u could never come for her with basic voices these days. So hush children. Btw, still love rihanna but jus saying….don’t come for queen mimi.

  7. kurtz August 24, 2011

    to even say Rihanna voice is better than Mariahs
    just shows your age ha. Even the
    voice Mariah has now would kill Rihanna on a bad day

    its like sayin Rihanna could dance better then Michael
    Jackson. Its hysterical

    K !

  9. RIHANNA STAN B**** ! August 24, 2011

    @Live, Love, Party

    LMFAO, FLOPriah can’t even sing hero, so you can sit, trying to come for Rihsus who would put Flopriah to shame if she even tried to STEP up to the QUEEN !

    Xtina is a flop ? is that why her burlesque soundtrack has sold almost 1 million in less than a year ?

    FLOPriahs voice and career are over, not even those show is gonna save her, deal with it.

  10. RIHANNA STAN B**** ! August 24, 2011

    OH and,

    Beyonce > FAILriah

  11. YOOSONDALOOSE August 24, 2011

    WOW go Mariah, love her!

  12. Live, Love, Party August 24, 2011

    @Rihanna I’m rly not gonna waste time arguing with an idiot. I’ma stan for rihanna too but I am not a delusional one like you. Rihanna is no where legendary status like mc. MC has settled down and had two children and has lots of money to focus on other things cuz she’s devoted so much of her life, singing, writing, and performing. She’s not worried about trying to impress kids these days w/ no taste in music. Sorta like you. Bye.

  13. KNUCK August 24, 2011

    chile.. that’s just too much shade in one room!

  14. Live, Love, Party August 24, 2011

    @Kurtz she must be ignorant or a child. Either way, she/he isn’t very bright. @Rihanna stan STRAINtina and rihanna are mc’s offspring. Neither of them can come for her. Lmfao. And yes, x-tina is a flop. Movies and music are two different things. Her national anthem proves she is a washed up and her voice is also wearing out from all that straining. and floponic could never come for mc’s wig. Goodbye.

  15. JohnVidal August 24, 2011

    Why do we people who love music have to put up with stupid and ignorant people like Rihanna fans who think she sings better than… anybody? LOL The girl sings better than Britney and that´s about it LOL

    Anyway, Mariah is so superior that she can do whatever she likes from now on and it won´t be a mistake. She has it all on lock

  16. Live, Love, Party August 24, 2011

    @Johnvidal THANK YOU

    @R****** stan MC=200 million ALBUMS, records, and singles sold Beyawnce=less than 75 Rihanna=20 mil (and still only good as a singles artiist) Straintina=50 mil records B****, r u crazy?? Clearly you are.

  17. JohnVidal August 24, 2011

    @Live, Love, Party
    LOL yes b**** must be crazy. And it´s not only the numbers, it´s the talent you know

  18. Que_baby89 August 24, 2011

  21. Aaliyah was truly one in a million (queenbey) August 24, 2011

    @QUEBABAY-

    U mad huh???

    @ARYO-

    U HAVE NO room to talk since UR fave WHOLE solo career has been flop after flop in and out of the U S……

  22. Que_baby89 August 24, 2011

    @aryo lol even better!

  23. Que_baby89 August 24, 2011

    @AALIYAH Im noy gonna stoop to you pre-teens level..Mariahs sales soak up the destiny’s chil era and all of their solo careers! Beyonce is a flop…Mariah is a flop! Every artist has their ups and downs! It’s just Beyonces time! Now flop away!

  24. NATE August 24, 2011

    No need to call Christina a flop. She has the #1 new show on primetime, a soundtrack that’s STILL charting, and #3 single on Billboard charts on it’s way to #1. This is just the beginning, Aguilera is coming for wigs!

    She was also paid 3.5 million dollars to perform for 20 minutes in Barcelona last week, far from flop!
    Plus her raise she received for doing The Voice Season 2.
    Girl is stacking hers.

  25. Matty August 24, 2011

    Mariah is such a vocal technician, and has the best voice in the industry to date (regardless of if you like her musical style or Urban direction, you can’t deny her voice) – She’s so funny, she’ll be amazing on the show! Raw talent is not appreciated in music these days (it’s production that glorified) and Mariah and Christina both have that raw talent, good for them coaching the new generation of vocalists!

  26. Eric August 24, 2011

    GREAT NEWS! MARIAH WILL HELP SIMON VERY WELL, SHE KNOWS HOW TO TALK AND GIVE DEAD-ON OPINIONS.

  27. tws0305 August 24, 2011

    lolol @ all you pressed flop c****! i really can’t! stay mad ♥

  28. brian b… August 24, 2011

    Beyonce, Adele, MJB, Whitney, Jennifer, Alicia, Mariah, Christina, Gaga, Pink etc are all singers, hell even Nicole Scherzinger has been known to belt on a good day.

    Rihanna, Katy, Britney, Janet, Ciara are not singers, the are products that have gotten good at selling us something that brainwashes us into ignoring the fact that they can’t sing.

    I’m not saying we should hate these none singers [hell i love all of them] but even a drunk Mariah or whitney with her drugged up voice can sing these women into retirement, so please enough with the foolishness. If you think Rihanna etc can sing better than anyone u need ur brain checked

  29. pop royalty (MUSIC OF THE SUN) August 24, 2011

  31. nice_gurl August 25, 2011

    Yay!! This will make the show heaps more exciting.

  32. Hassan August 25, 2011

    LOL why are u exactly calling MAriah a flop? Singers like Rihanna were inspired by Mariah to sing and wait didnt Rihanna attempt to sing Hero at school but flopped HARD? YES! Beyonce has always looked upto Mariah! and Mariah has been singing for 20 years + do you really think she has the same voice when she first started? Do you and i have the same voice when we was born? NO Mariah is human, life changes in her case with time voice changes. Mariah is one of the worlds greatest vocalist, and has some success what no1 even has till date! So please stop calling her a flop!

    As Mariah said:

    So the more you curse me
    The more you’re blessing me
    The Word said it
    Love your enemies
    Do good to those who curse you
    Pray for those who mistreat you

  33. The Voice is a better show, by far August 26, 2011

    LMAO I bet Mariah and Simon talk sh*t about Christina Aguilera when they get together.

    We all know these two people hate Christina.

    Mariah feels some jealousy and bitterness about Christina Aguilera being the new voice, and now Simon too hates Christina ever since Christina declined to be a part of the “X Factor USA”, to do “The Voice” instead.

    Simon must be so mad at the great ratings “The Voice” had.

  34. jamim August 27, 2011

    uhhhmmm yo most of those beyonce songs haxnt flopped most of them made number one in new zealand an other countries and its not about how many records or albums.its about the singing and what they sing about…u all dumb f****** d**** thinking you all know it ha go back to school,,oh by the way i work for sony records and know whats what in the music world
