After Steven Tyler announced he was leaving “American Idol” and Jennifer Lopez said she may also quit the show, FOX is pulling out the big guns to fill their shoes.

Mariah Carey is now in talks to be a judge on the singing competition, according to multiple reports.

A number of other names, such as Adam Lambert, have also been thrown into the mix, but Carey appears to be in actual, serious negotiations with the show.

Gossip Cop has reached out to reps for Carey and FOX to confirm the discussions.

The “Butterfly” singer has already proven herself to be wonderfully entertaining on live television.

    Yes! She’s someone I’d actually enjoy judging music…since her voice is the best we’ve seen since Whitney Houston! 2 thumbs up from me…I’m actually excited about this news!

  • Thet_ng

    good news, she’s talented.

  • Danny

    If her and Adam Lambert were both on the judging panel, I might actually watch Idol. The Voice is still the best imo though.

  • Kaylee

    I haven’t watched AI since Simon left, but if Mariah joined the show, I’d watch!

  • Patricia Elliott

    We should change the name to American Ego….

  • lori

    NOOOOO!!!! She’ll be all about herself even worse than JLo was, and JLo shamelessly self-promoted all the time. No more AI for me!

    Jealous much? lori?

  • lola

    Totally on board. She’s definitely extremely talented and I think she’s, like, harsh enough to deal out real criticism and just… YES. Maybe I’ll actually start watching again.

    Total upgrade from J.Lo. Mariah has been in the industry for over 20 years and she’s actually talented. And I think I can rely on Mimi to keep it real; polite but still with some bite too. I’d definitely tune in again with her as judge. :D

    who’s better to judge than someone who was being judged both positively and negatively for the past 20 years? American Idol will be less dense by then. :)
