Mariah Carey: 'American Idol' Was 'Worst Experience of My Life' (She Got $18M for 1 Year)

Mimi could not wait to be emancipated from "American Idol" and she's still trashing the life out of it two years later. Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj were judges in 2013's ill-fated Season 12, which seemed to be much more about the two women feuding than anything to do with the contestants. (Pop quiz: Who even won that season?*)

Mariah just talked to Kyle and Jackie O about "Idol," and they drama-baited her by asking if she'd return for the upcoming 15th season.

Hell no! Absolutely not. That was the worst experience of my life. I'm not going to get into what it was, but let's just say I don't think they had any intentions for us to have a good experience doing that show. Pitting two females against each other wasn't cool. It should have been about the contestants instead of about some nonexistent feud that turned into even more ridiculousness, and I would never want to be involved with it again. But everybody else did like it."

There's more, if you want to listen to it in the video below, where she goes on about the show being "boring" and "fake."


Here's the funny part, though. According to a People report from 2012, she was paid just under $18 million for one year on the show, with an option to renew, making her the highest paid judge on any reality show. So, um, yeah -- we're willing to be bored by a fake feud for even a quarter of that, thanks. Can someone please ask us to join Season 15?

*Who won Season 12? Candice Glover. But, really, everyone who skipped it.
