As far as Mariah's career goes in terms of this news, I wish she wouldn't hop on this sinking ship that is American Idol. She is too big and good for this show. If anything, she should only owe that as much as a performance, during the season or on the finale. But to be a judge? You're owing them too much Mimi and you don't need it. I'm sure you'll make an excellent judge, but you're beyond this, imo.
