Mariah Carey is the new American Idol Judge

It’s official, Mariah Carey will be the new American Idol judge, replacing Jennifer Lopez. Carey has been a guest mentor on the show in the past, but now she will be taking her turn in the judges seat for an estimated 12+ million dollars. It’s still known if she has only signed on for one year at a time or if she has signed on for a long term contract, but she certainly brings some mega star power to the show. Let’s see how it affects the ratings.

Who do you think will fill the last judges seat?
