Mariah Carey Joins 'The Voice' Amid Drama And Diva Drama

Hey there, friends. Let's talk about Mariah Carey. You know her, right? The queen of pop and the diva extraordinaire who brought us the iconic anthem "We Belong Together." Well, guess what? Mariah is diving back into the world of reality TV, this time as an advisor on season 15 of NBC's hit show, The Voice. But let’s be real, drama seems to follow her wherever she goes, and this time is no different.

According to a source from Radar, things behind the scenes aren’t exactly rosy. The source revealed, “No one wanted her to join the show. They privately voiced their opinions, but NBC overruled them all.” Despite the behind-the-scenes grumbles, Mariah took to her Instagram on October 22 to announce her new role with a post that read, “It’s a MOMENT. I’m advising for the @NBCTheVoice Knockouts starting Monday 8/7c.”

Mariah's Role Amid Rising Tensions

For those who may not know, Mariah is stepping into a role as a mentor to aspiring singers, joining a star-studded lineup that includes Jennifer Hudson, Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, and Adam Levine. While it might sound like a dream team, the source added, “It was unanimous that the coaches didn’t want her. Now, they feel their voices don’t matter. They think it won’t be good for the show and they don’t want the drama and stress she brings.”

A Blast From the Past: Mariah’s Time on American Idol

Let’s rewind for a moment to Mariah’s previous stint as a judge on American Idol. Back in 2015, she opened up about her experience on the show during an appearance on Australia’s Kyle and Jackie O radio show. She described it as “the worst experience of my life.” Harsh words, right? But hey, when you’re Mariah Carey, you don’t mince them.

Her issues on the show weren’t just about the format or the contestants. Mariah also had a pretty public feud with Nicki Minaj. Reflecting on that period, she said, “I’m not going to get into what it was, but let’s just say I don’t think they had any intentions for us to have a good experience doing that show. Pitting two females against each other wasn’t cool. It should have been about the contestants instead of about some nonexistent feud that turned into even more ridiculousness.”
