This was a great show, I think Mariah was excellent!! How intimidating to have to sing in front of her. She seems very nice and down to earth and keen to help.

Mariah Carey showed off her sexy new body on Tuesday's American Idol.
The 38-year-old singer — who reveals in Us Weekly's latest issue how she shed 20 pounds — rocked a low-cut black shirt and skin-tight pants as she mentored the seven remaining contestants (see clip of her working with Kristy Lee Cook above).
Randy Jackson recently told Usmagazine.com that Carey brought "a wealth of knowledge about singing to these kids.
"She's won the Holy Grail," he added. "She sold 175 million albums! I don't know if anyone will ever get to that point ever again because the music business is in such disarray."
Carey returns to the show tonight to perform her latest single, "Bye Bye," as another contestant is sent home.
