Mariah Carey will have a role in US X Factor
Mariah Carey Another day and another addition to the US X Factor cast list…
Mariah Carey had now been virtually confirmed as having a role to play in the talent show by none other than Simon Cowell himself.
“You can’t say no to Mariah,” the media mogul said to People. “We have to find a role for her. I’m a huge fan of hers and not just as an artist but as a person as well. I love her to death.”
Back when the show could or could not feature Cheryl Cole the first time around, Mariah’s name was banded around as a judge but the birth of her children scuppered that. Cowell always said that he still wanted her in the show in some form though.
It is likely that Mariah will take on some kind of mentoring role for the contestants, or possibly feature as a guest judge. Whichever it is, there will no doubt be some ratings pull to her involvement.
