Tell us how you really feel, Mariah Carey!
In a recent radio interview, the pop diva sat down with Australian KIIS FM hosts Kyle and Jackie O to promote her new album #1 to Infinity — and also threw some shade at her old gig as judge on American Idol!
Mimi gave a scathing review of her time spent on the recently canceled singing competition, dubbing it “so boring and so fake.” Ouch!

The songstress then clarified herself by hinting that the judges were told to give exaggerated feedback to make the show more watchable! She said:
“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 just be like ├óΓé¼╦£it was good’ and you feel like ending it there.”
The ex-judge was featured on Idol‘s 12th season with Randy Jackson, Keith Urban, and Nicki Minaj — who Mimi reportedly had a heated relationship with. Mariah had this to say about the alleged feud:
“Pitting two females against each other wasn’t cool. It should have been about the contestants instead of about some non-existent feud that turned into even more ridiculousness and I would never want to be involved in it again, but everyone else can like it.”
So, does that mean she’d never come back for a reunion finale show?
“Hell, no! Absolutely not, that was the worst experience of my life. I’m not going to get into what it was, let’s just say, I don’t think they had any intentions of us having a good experience through that show.”
Well, that puts that rumor to bed. Ha!
