BTW, as an aside, I just flashed back on watching Prince on AI. I kept waiting for him to bust out just a little with a little dance or a wail...but all the audience ended up with was him running a comb through his hair and letting the Twins pose... There was a pregnant pause from the audience for a moment from what I remember before they started clapping...as if they were waiting for more...which never came... All Prince did was tease...

Mariah Carey Wants Lenny Kravitz On 'Idol'

Just cancel this train wreck already!!!

One just waiting to happen!

I don't know why Mariah would jump on this sinking ship anyway. I remember her name being one of the first to float around for X-Factor before Simon bagged Britney. Why would she turn that down?

whoa-forget AI, who else would love a collaboration of Mariah and Lenny? I'd love to hear him getting her a bit more rock for a change. That would sound hot!

.

well, lenny kravitz as a judge on AI would at least open the door(s) for aspiring rock bands.

plus his mother roxy roker was a television star on the 'jefferson's' back in the day. so lenny does have some behind the scene smarts. in his interviews he's very on point and articulate. imo it'd be a good choice. not to mention that the man is definite as far as being eye candy.

as far as mariah carey, musically she's got my respect. so best to just wait and see.

Have to agree with free!, it would open the door for more rock peformers to get through.

But still.... Idol need's to take a nap

So...after all this public mayhem...are you gonna tune in for the next season?

I wouldn't mind Kanye and would absolutely love Lenny Kravitz to be on this.

Well with the X-Factor didn't she just have her twins?

And now over a year later, I would choose Idol over X-Factor because even with it's fallen ratings, Idol still pulled in an average of 17 million viewers.

I expect X-Factor to get an obvious bump with Britney, but no way they pull in Idol's ratings.

No I'm talking about joining this season. Mariah, Janet, Whitney, they were all being named in late January/early February. Janet said she wasn't doing it and then Britney's name started coming up around the same time and the rest is history.

this is hilarious the real story here is that Mariah doesn't want to be upstaged by the young,sexy Niki Minaj.

Did that article really say "colored" though?

No, the word "colorful" was used.

Alanis Morissette: “I Have Been in Conversations” forAmerican Idol

Is American Idol about to play host to the weirdest '90s mash-up ever?

Rocker Alanis Morissette confirms that she is in talks to sit next to '90s pop princess Mariah Carey at the judges table.

"Yes, I have been in conversations about it, and that's the degree to which I can share the info right now," Morissette toldCNN Tuesday."I live to mentor, so my heart is much more open to the idea of that than even 10 years ago when I, perhaps, wasn't in a position to be able to offer much advice, solicited or otherwise. [B]ut I love watching people and just getting really curious about what they want and what they need and what their goals are, and then I can support them. I would do it formally, for sure."

Morissette is a big departure for the flashier names that have been thrown around in recent days including Kanye West and Nicki Minaj, just to name a few. But no matter how much we all love the '90s, it's a little hard to picture Morissette — the then-queen of hard-edged and occasionally sexually explicit girl-power anthems — sitting next to Carey, the perennial, turtleneck-loving girl next door of the era. But then again, this is a show that put Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez together for not one but two seasons, so anything's possible, right?

Morissette, however, is no stranger to singing competition series. She dueted with Idol runner-upCrystal Bowersox on the 2010 American Idol season finale and also performed with The X Factorfinalist Josh Krajcik during the show's Season 1 performance finale. The 38-year-old most recently served as a guest mentor on Adam Levine's team on The Voice last season.

Morissette is set to release her eighth studio album, Havoc and Bright Lights, on Tuesday.
