AI Press Conference 2012

[@SquizzMe]

I hate American Idol, I hate Ryan Seacrest, dislike Nicki Minaj, don't even care about Randy or Keith. I just came here for Mariah.

[@thedivasofsupreme6190]

Ryan Seacrest and Mariah Carey has this Chemistry. God.! AND Yes.! Give the Greatest Chair to the Greatest Singer.

[@Chillli221]

I think Nicki does reflect what is current, but I give Mariah her respect. She came with platinums EOM, E=MC2 and Obsessed and 18th #1 TMB, after she was totally written off.

[@teddy37300]

I actually wasnt really crazy about Mariah being a judge, but after watching this I think people are going to see a side of her that they didnt get to know yet a little bit less diva and more human, the Mariah lambs know and love.

[@RedSimba88]

I loved Mariah's answers. She will be great!

[@MrDLOC11]

The reason why Mariah is necessary to Idol is that she brings unabridged sincerity & warmth in her advice to future singers on their way to future stardom.... SHE CARES & Idol judges usually DONT!

[@GeniusO9]

MARIAH MARIAH MARIAH!!!!!! She looks beautiful.

[@Piggyyyyyyyyy]

Mariah is really THE BEST...!!!

[@erijahc]

this makes me wish mimi and nicki never fought..the fun that would've happened if they just got along.

[@rosemont2283]

They did get along. The show just wanted to make them look like they always fighted to people who didn’t regularly watch that season so that they would tune in

[@mdcb91]

At 12:10 Nicki threw shade at Mariah!!! Good thing MC could handle it

[@SuperBerya]

still can't believe nicki minaj is on the show as a jugde.

[@Chillli221]

That was AFTER her height of fame in the industry.

[@mdcb91]

MC said she had a lot of experience, many years working in the studio (years that Nicki Minaj doesn't have) and then NM said that the business was very different from 15 years ago...

[@TheVortexologist]

Mariah looks incredible!! I can't wait until January!!

[@feedback7781]

MARIAH IS AMAZING...LUCKY NICK

[@veromariahfan]

Mariah is so beautiful!!! ♥

[@aquamarine11500]

But is she lieing? The question was what do they being to the table,Mariah brings experience and longevity to the table,and Nicki brings pop culture and whats hot currently They were really just talking about different perspectives of where they ALL fit into this. I thought the same thing at first,but you gotta see the bigger picture. We have a great producer like Randy Jackson Country Legend like Keith R&B legend and Vocal Goddess like MC and a Cool fresh Hip-Hop rapper.

[@aregatokek]

mariah would really be a very good judge. you will see her humor. you have already seen on this very video how candid she really is without any scripts. you see how everybody laughs whenever she throws a diva joke, and i hope that humor would come out as she judges the contestants.

[@nolatx26]

I LOVE the shade Mariah throws!!!! She's my babe!

[@boydaegu]

I love you Mariah!!!

[@andytanhw]

love mariah in this!

[@loanme2dollarz]

MARIAH IS AMAZING

[@40mg_nba]

Why are everyone getting at Nicki? She didn't do anything to Mariah. They've confirmed in THIS VIDEO they had no beef, no feuds. So why is everyone bitching? They've done songs together. They're good.

[@andya0212]

I can't wait to see mariah on the shoooww..so much love u M ♥

[@96523456ify]

Mariah Diva !

[@LetsChatwithKV]

Mariah look well rested like she had some work done to her face i love mariah very beautiful

[@MCLamsGagaMonster]

Nicki is so new to handle this. I really dont think she has experience to judge. Maybe she IS big now , but she lacks experience. Just my thought

[@clemenceaudedravo4342]

because, since the rumour came out, that MC is going to be part of the show, people couldn't help talking load of crap about Niki, saying she isn't talented enough or haven't deserved it... And that is also part of the "business", which she was talking about in this interview...

[@teddy37300]

Mariah and Randy better be seating next to each other on the live shows!

[@paulomiranda5707]

They ask about someone singing your song as if they were offending you. I just cannot understand why there's too much competition among american superstars!!! It's a pity... music would be much better without it. Here in Brazil our biggest singers are best friends, and we clearly feel this when they sing together or talk about each other.

[@lawrencekss]

mariah's seat seems larger than others'. i think the 'Throne' belongs to the 'Queen"!!

[@guiantony]

Mariah!!!!!

[@OnlyRVMC]

MC - is a living LEGEND NIKKI - is a living JOKE!

[@LaBassaTH]

Nicki... what r u doin' ? Nicki .... !! STAHP !!

[@TvOfMike]

10:11 yes mariah, teach them

[@mdcb91]

Mariah's laugh at 9:52 LOL she whistled!!

[@thanhvipBSDK]

love her....the diva

[@TheMCLamb4ever]

My FAVORITE part was @9:57 - the answer was SO painfully obvious.

[@stewardlie]

LOL So glad to see my girl MC! Good thing the show seperate MC from Randolph because they'll be joking the whole time! hahah

[@CellarDoor1970]

She looks classy!!!!

[@KivonD1992]

..and your still here because? I believe I told you to have a seat.

[@TheMCLamb4ever]

MARIAH!!!

[@Videodude1231]

Mariah carey has the highest chair.

[@chrisak49]

When is Mariah going to puerto rico?!?! I am gonna book a flight ASAP

[@170flyguy]

there is definatley some tension between Mariah & Nicki not alott but definatley some......i hope it doesnt blow over cause they started off as freinds Nicki has said some really nice things about Mariah in the past and Mariah said really good things about Nicki ....i hope the tension goes away but i got a feeling its gonna be an all out feud all over the press....sad but true personalities & egos colliding

[@reedkutcher]

NICKI ♥

[@TheAlan0509]

Mariah is the diva. Nicki is the clown. When Mariah sings "WE Belong Together" to blow away everyone, Nicki will be singing "Super Bass", and lip her chorus part. When Mariah gives her comment to the contestants, the contestants will just nod and thank her for her advices. When Nicki gives her comment to the contestants, the contestants will just say:" You can't even sing, STFU bitch!! I wanna hear from Mariah!!" LOL Looking forward to that moment!!

[@KivonD1992]

This isn't twitter nor English class. Like I said before Mariah>>>>Nicki. So I think you should find the nearest corner, pick any seat of your choice and use it accordingly. #BeGone

[@Straumnes]

"This isn't Twitter... but I'm going to use a hashtag anyway. Because I'm a dolt."

[@asakuraemc02]

LOL, why does Mariah's chair higher than other judges?!?..haha #DIVA

[@juancro9]

MARIAH CAREY - VOCAL LEGEND Nicki Minaj - vocal joke

[@godair222]

That press were definitely weak!!! I would have been standing on a chair with Pom Poms lol

[@aquamarine11500]

She likes the right side better.

[@fwagoo284]

lol you called her an alien.

[@MrDLOC11]

SHOULDNT RANDY JACKSON BE TV'S HIGHEST PAID CURRENT-SERIES STAR? LOL 11 SEASONS!! #1SHOW!! ....im just sayin' lol..(just wanna throw that out!)

[@juancro9]

Mariah Carey!! :D

[@reedkutcher]

Nicki stopped drinking pepsi for drinking coca cola. Right choice.

[@KivonD1992]

200,000,000 million records>>>>>anything Sicki will EVER accomplish #FACT

[@chesleycareystar]

Queen of Copying Gaga was her accomplishment

[@GreenD37]

Sorry to say this but the worlds view on Mariah has changed. All the little katy and keisha fans calls her i MooHriah COWRey and their many!! And i dont think nicki minaj can change that. Its sad right? one of the most talented famous singers on the planet is being dragged down by stupidity. but lets see what happends. Maybe her brand as a legend can save it. I dont know...

[@KivonD1992]

...Your still here?

[@KivonD1992]

*WEREN'T

[@aquamarine11500]

Chill

[@chesleycareystar]

ISN'T THIS SIMON'S SHOW TOO???

[@Straumnes]

*You're. #Boom.

[@mariahCareyPortugal]

why d they keep calling her "Miss Mariah Carey "? LOL

[@scm5186]

Is it me or did Niki come across a bit stuck up? Just saying...

[@aquamarine11500]

Calm TFdown.She didn't say shit about being old. Stop it...just stop.

[@aquamarine11500]

...... OMG *facepalm* You're reading too hard into the situation.

[@Straumnes]

Hm... pretty sure that if I jumped off a high cliff, I would die. #Fail. Try again.

[@shaggypal]

haha mariah is too big that she hardly get into the panel!

[@Polylovelingo124]

Not really but okay.

[@DRDERU]

Nicki looks uncomfortable & sort of out of place, She seems nice though, but she obviously looks so fake here.

[@loanme2dollarz]

how can someone sing a nikki song she's a rapper!! i wish she wasent on the show!

[@princessleahMUA]

nicki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> grandma

[@Dezzy23]

Nicki looks so out of place.... :-\ I'm not really interested in watching this season. Love Mariah tho!!!!
