Mariah Carey is now the new Idol judge, replacing J.Lo

Mariah Carey is now officially replaces J.Lo as the new Idol judge. As a preeminent singer, the diva will be paid a $17 million salary according to deadline.com. It is $2 million more than Jennifer Lopez earned when she was one of the judges although that’s not the amount Mariah Carey’s husband Nick Cannon expected. Months ago, Nick Cannon may have made a joke by saying “American Idol” could not hire his famous wife, but now Mrs. Cannon is presumably will replace J.Lo. We expect the next season is going to be really excited because it is the first time a superstar whose songs have many contestants tried to imitate become the judge. Mariah, I Still Believe you will attract a lot of people to watch the show.
