I was skimming through tmz this morning when I came upon this article about how Mariah might replace Jennifer Lopez on American Idol. I agree with dlisted that the best part about the topic even being brought up is that it is an excuse to watch this:
But truly, Mariah would be an amazing judge for any talent show. I think the Can't Let Go clip I posted is a good example why. Besides the fact that she's flawless in general I think watching the audience really speaks for the power of her performance. First of all, it's Soul Train, fantastic. In the beginning the audience is all paired up and slow dancing, but you can see right away that several people have their heads turned so they can watch Mariah. Then as the song picks up, the people begin to sway. By about the 3 minute mark she has whipped them in to such a frenzy that one woman is taken over with uncontrollable full body convulsive dancing. I don't blame her. By the end nobody is doing anything besides trying to get as close to Mariah as possible because they have realized they were witness to a true artist.
Plus I learned something from the youtube comments on that video, and you know how much I enjoy reading the youtube comments.

So in conclusion, I find Nick's remarks justified. Case closed.
