American Idol judge Randy Jackson tells Usmagazine.com that producers have been trying to get Mariah Carey on the hit Fox show for the past couple of seasons.
Their time has come.
Carey, 38 — whose new disc E=MC2 drops today — pops by the show tonight to mentor the seven remaining contestants.
"She's going to bring a wealth of knowledge about singing to these kids," says Jackson of the newly svelte singer, who will also perform. "It's amazing for us to have her on.
"She's kind of what the show's about — she's that girl who grew up in New York, who struggled to become that singer."
Now, Jackson says, "she's won the Holy Grail. 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."
On tonight's show, contestants will perform songs from Carey's extensive catalogue.
So will David Cook belt out "Vision of Love?"
"You never know!" Jackson tells Us. "Just because you're a rocker or a country singer doesn't mean you can't sing these songs - you adapt them to what you do best."
Adds Jackson, "I'm sure these kids will have a good time." (See what the Idol contestants looked like as kids here.)

Mariah is so great. Oh sexy, pretty and sexy. I remembered I've seen her at the celeb club "million airecupid" c o m a few weeks ago. She exclaimed she is looking for a great man for serious relationship there.
Mariah is far from a has been, because she just had her 18th number # 1 hit, and she is far from fake, if you knew her personally, it would be the last thing you said about her, because she is as REAL as they come!
She is as sweet a person, as you can meet!
I also guess all of you who thought it was going to be a bad night, are going to have to change your opinions, because you didn't know what you were talking about either, it was a great night! Mariah was an excellent vocal coach, and the guys especially did great!
I love a lot of Mariah Carey's songs, but watching her perform drives me crazy!! Nothing about her looks natural. She always looks so stiff and everything looks forced. She never stops moving her hands but her feet seem to be planted to the stage. I wish she would relax, dress more age-appropriate and just sing.
... But, I've always liked her!
I don't really have a favorite Mariah Carey song, I like whatever I've heard from her!
It should definitely be an interesting night. I feel that some of Mariah's songs are only meant for her to sing. I also think there is going to be a lot of pointing out the fact that her cd came out today.
BIG thing going around is..........american idol stars kristy lee cook and david archuletah have a THING going on. this has been talked about all over the place. weird because she's older than him but nothing would surprise me. all the david archuletah fans aren't happy about this ESPECIALLY the girls.
another thing going around is kristy lee cook NEVER sold her horse. this was a story used as a sympathy ploy so people would like her and keep her on the show. she has tons of horses *she lives on a ranch* and out of all the horses she sells hers? she has money by the way. her parents are NOT broke. kristy's whole family lives quite well. lets just say they're rich. cat got out of the bag that kristy prepares herself to be in the bottom 3 but she knows she'll be okay. she's quite smug. she knows her brother in-law has a lot of friends and they vote a lot. she's totally syked about this website called vote for the worst. they vote for the worst contestants. she knows if a following follows what they say she'll stay on forever. she's so confident that she actually thinks she's going to win american idol. just ask around. visit the website. you'll see. just some information for all your american idol lovers.
I'm worried for tonight. I love almost all the contestants, David Cook especially (and Michael Johns *sniff sniff*) but don't expect much from tonight. Why Mariah Carey? Sure the woman is amazing, but the style really doesn't suit American Idol. I fear another Beatles (the 2nd week) night. Amazing songs from amazing singers, but that doesn't mean the contestants will live up to it. Just like when they had BeeGees songs a few years back, sure they are great songs but it doesn't mean they're right for AI. Mariah's songs are so glittery, bubbly, and pop-like it's going to be hard to see any true talent come out of the singers tonight. I just thought she was a strange choice for AI
I think tonights Idol is going to be bad. I don't see any of these girls able to pull off her music, and well, I'm not too sure about the boys either. Mariah is in a league of her own with her music, just like Whitney Houston is, and all the other great powerful singers of yester-year and of today. Like someone else said, the contestants better be able to make up for all those high notes Mariah does. NONE of those kids can hit those notes like Mariah can.
Syesha will not stand out tonight, because she tries to be like a Whitney Houston or a Mariah Carey. Brooke is so boring. KLC just plain stinks. Carly will try to belt out a song, and she won't succeed, because she's a wannabe herself. David A. is BORING everyweek and he's too Disney. Maybe him and Miley can hook up. I like Jason, but we shall see if he's versatile and doesn't become predicatable and boring with song choices. David Cook is by far the best in the competition. I'm curious to see how he's going to rock out a Mariah Carey song. About the plagiarizing comment, oh whatever, what do you think Idol is about? They cover other people's songs. All that drama that surrounded DC was just a bunch of hoopla.
Please stop complaining about Michael Johns. He wasn't the best in the competition. A lot of people who voted for him voted based on looks. Just look at what people type or listen to them when they comment about Michael Johns....."Oh my gosh! There's no more eye candy on the show!" Michael Johns wouldn't be able to touch Chris Daughtry neither. Daughtry is untouchable. Michael would never be as successful as Daughtry, and Michael certainly doesn't have the talent Daughtry has. I would guess though, all the girls that wanna do the kissy face with Michael will buy his album (that's if he can find a record lable) because he's "so cuuuuuute! like OMGosh!"
4:27 i agree with you...this could be a really bad night. mariah would be hard to sing. i dont really like her music to begin with for some reason but, i dont think its going to go well
I bummed that Micheal Johns is gone, but will still watch for Carly to WIN
I'm with 1:14...I won't bother watching now that Michael Johns is off and several who are not as talented as him are left on. He has the most talent of this whole group and has star power. Syesha? A wannabe. Kristy Lee? Not nearly as good as Carrie. Jason? A pothead street performer. David A? A kid who won't last. Brooke? Has a nice voice but she doesn't stand out - I can put on Carly Simon and get the real thing. Carly? Can sing but she looks and dresses trashy. David C? Good performer but plagiarizes music. Michael was, by far, the best.
well, syesha should do good.
I'm a little scared to hear what they are going to do wtih her songs. I think her more recent material will be a little easier to sing, but her stuff from the 90's is going to be tough. She def. used more of her range in her earlier years as a singer than she does now and if someone chooses a song like emotions, they better have something really good to replace with her high notes because none of these contestants can hit those notes!
LOL! 12:42 PM, you took the words right out of my mouth! I cannot stand all of the diva posing. Victoria/Posh is the queen of awkward poses. I still think Mariah is a fabulous singer. You go girl!
Maybe they can sing about a basket full of puppies...
I love her voice, but she is such a FAKE!!!! I look forward to hearing the songs that they choose and what they do with them.
goooooooooooooo david A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We all love you!
Mariah is a has been.
Not a fan of her or the show anymore. I have not listened to her since the 90's.
funny how everyone thought this would the the guys' season and turns out there's now more girls than guys left. even though I'm sure it will come down to the two David's in the finals.
just saying.
Why does she like to pose from the right side? What's wrong with her left side? Are her nostrils uneven or something?
Michael John's has star quality, and was really the only person I cared to hear on that show. 99.9% of them do not have that kind of charisma. Now, that he is gone, I don't bother watching it.
As for Mariah Carey, I stopped listening to her years ago. She is my age, and I outgrew her, and her pop music.
Good thing A&E has tons of CSI reruns :)
LOL It's not that she doesn't want to touch them as much as that she is constantly posing! She always stands in such a contorted way, like she is trying to show her "best side" and look like she's still 21!
It's well known that Mariah only likes to be photographed fron the right side. And she's always posing and hamming it up for the cam.
Is it just me or in that picture does Mariah look like she doesn't want to touch the contestants. Poor Brooke looks odd trying to get close and personal with Mariah and Mariah is to busy diva posing.
I quit watching after my favorite, Michael was cut. So have all of my friends and family. We loved him.
