Carey Kills Idol Ratings

Mariah Carey tanked American Idol's ratings. The show has been in decline and she solidify that. The mere fact that she drove down American Idol ratings makes you wonder if another Jay-Z style record sales fraud took place with her new CD. Those numbers look suspect, especially with such a weak lead single.

She is on the same label that got into trouble with Soundscan for bribing retailers to scan through one unit of an album several times to fraudulently inflate sales.

"Last week's performance show, featuring the songs of Mariah Carey, one of the most successful pop singers in history, was the lowest-rated Tuesday "Idol" in five years among TV's most important demographic, adults ages 18 to 49. The subsequent results show, in which country warbler Kristy Lee Cook got the hook, delivered "Idol's" worst Wednesday numbers among adults ages 18 to 34 since its first season back in summer 2002.

Producers also saw depressed ratings for their "Idol Gives Back" charity extravaganza, which this year aired as a stand-alone show with no competition-related material."

She Doesn't Want Kids

Regarding childbearing, the selfish, self-absorbed singer said having kids would make her feel violated. Yes, you read that right. Her publicist was probably smoking weed and didn't catch that statement in time to stop it. What kind of thing is that to say about kids:

But in a somewhat bizarre explanation, the singer has claimed that having children would leave her feeling 'violated'. "I never wanted to feel violated and I know that's a kind of weird thing to say, but that's how I am."
