You’ve gotta hand it to Mariah Carey for having the brass balls to bite the hand which one fed her. By that I mean, she’s talking shit about American Idol, a show on which she used to be a “judge”. And while what she’s saying is true, it’s sorta hilarious coming from someone who used to cash checks from the damn thing.
Here’s what she had to say during an interview with Australia’s KIIS-FM (via The Daily Mail):
“I’m sorry, I just think it’s… when I say it’s fake… I mean like you have to make up things to say about people. Half the time the performances are good, you’d just be like, ‘It was good” and you feel like ending it there: ‘You were really good.'”
She was also asked if she’d return for the final episode, since Idol has finally been cancelled. I’m sure you can imagine her answer.
“Hell no! Absolutely not, that was the worst experience of my life.”
It was the worst experience of mine, too, watching this queen lower herself to such bullshit. Why did you have to do it, Mariah? I know the money was good, but you had plenty. I’ll never understand.
Simple, she did it because she thought the show was still popular and she thought she would regain her lost popularity.
Who says she did it for the money? That’s sad that you all think everyone has to be motivated by greed rather than opportunity.
What “opportunity” is there in doing a show you hate and don’t respect and that’s failing in the ratings? Get a grip. It was for money.
