(Radio.com) Mariah Carey told Australia's Kyle and Jackie O show (via Billboard) that her season as a judge on American Idol was "the worst experience of my life." According to People magazine, she made $18 million for her season on the show.

She was responding to their question of whether or not she would return to the show for the series finale. "Hell, no!" was the answer. "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," Carey said, without mentioning Nicki Minaj by name.

She continued: "It's so boring and so fake, I'm sorry. When I say it's fake, I mean, I have to make up things to say about everybody. Half the time, the performances are good, you'll just be like, 'It was good.'" Read more here.
