In the mid 2000s you had a lot of consecutive hits for Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige. Do you think that sort of success can be replicated or was it moreso the timing?
Johnta Austin: I think it’s yes to both. It was definitely a lot of timing and just a perfect storm especially to have artists who were already legends before they even met me. To collaborate with them and have it come out, I think it was a perfect storm. It can be duplicated again, but I had no idea that those two songs for Mariah and Mary were going to be as big as they were. I thought they were hits and I was confident they would do well, but I don’t think anyone can predict that kind of success as far as once you start getting the 14 weeks at number one, ASCAP Song of the Decade and Billboard Song of the Decade with Mariah. That’s not anything anyone was saying in the studio that night when we were listening back to the record. We just knew it was a good record. I think that’s the best way to approach it. History would be nice, but ultimately we just want to make a great product that we’re confident in and ultimately it’s the people who decide if it’ll go down in history
On working with Mariah Carey for “Last Kiss”
Johnta Austin: Man, I wish that record would have been a single. I remember that process. The process with Mariah Carey and Jermaine Dupri is always fun because we’re in there just throwing out the craziest lines. There are things that you would never think goes on in a Mariah Carey session, but she’s super cool, laid back and fun to work with. We had the concept of the last kiss and after a few jokes and few glasses of Pinot Grigio. *Laughs* That’s where “Last Kiss” came from.

Jermaine, Bryan and Johnta also worked on the upcoming Mariah Carey project

Kevin Hart is about to launch BET’s new original series Real Husbands of Hollywood.

According to Hart:
"It’s a mock reality show.  Every actor in it is not afraid to make fun of themselves. It stars Nick Cannon, Duane Martin, Boris Kodjoe, Robin Thicke and myself. Then Nelly, Trey Songz, Faison Love and Cedric the Entertainer are part of the many people who come by to do guest star favors. Mariah Carey is doing one, so is Shane Mosley. It’s mock reality but we’re treating it like it’s real.

Real Husbands of Hollywood is scheduled to air on BET in January 2013.

While the overall chart points for "Christmas" leave it shy of the Hot 100's top 50 this week, should the song accrue enough points in upcoming weeks to rank in the Hot 100's upper half, it, or any holiday title regardless of age that reaches such a points level, would be eligible to rank on the Hot 100. Hot 100 rules were adjusted at the beginning of the 2012 chart year to include all titles regardless of age should they rank in the top 50

For the newbies on the judging panel, it's been an adjustment to get used to the Idol machine, to say the least. "Day one, it's like getting used to what this is. This is like a very new, different, wild interesting new school," Jackson says, which was followed by Carey giving a knowing laugh in agreement.

"Wild. Period," she insists.

After yesterday's post, many e-mails came in to ask for the "lyrics" of the other one's diss.  That 3 year old crap will not be posted on my site!!

Posted on November 17

I changed the title and skipped the first part as I figured out the lyrics to what I guess we can call a song by .... (you know who) where she clearly disses Mariah.  Click here if you want to read it anyway

Cannon says Carey will most definitely be performing at one point on the hit Fox reality show.

"She got a new album coming out," he dished. "I'm pretty sure they'll figure that out. That's probably part of the whole thing, she's going to get out there and promote her new music."

The 32-year-old can't wait to see his wife as a judge when Idol premieres. "I think it's all about the opportunity for people to see Mariah for who she really is," he gushed. "You'll get to see how intelligent she is. You'll get to see how witty, and her great sense of humor. Also, her nurturing spirit and wanting to help all these young people accomplish their dreams."

Cannon says Carey will also most likely be at tomorrow's taping of the TeenNick HALO Awards, which honors teens for their commitment to public service and charity work. Giving back is something he's passing along to his and Carey's twins, Morrocan and Monroe.

"I was always taught to whom much is given, much is required," he said. "I instill those same things into my children."

And just in time for Thanksgiving! As for who's cooking the Turkey Day dinner next week, Cannon laughed, "Mariah does most of the cooking. She'll be doing that."

At this moment Mariah has 10 songs in the Top200 Holiday songs on iTunes US (including the AIWFCIY covers) & AIWFCIY still #1 of course

Alongside her band and dancers, the diva performer will tour with her children and husband and plans to spend New Year's Eve on the Gold Coast.

Promoters have been negotiating with Carey's camp for six months.

''Mariah's got a very busy schedule with her American Idol commitments, this is the only time she could come out," Rafter said.

''She has to head back to the States right after the Australian shows to do Idol."

''I'm pretty sure she's bringing her kids and husband out for a little holiday," Rafter said.

Rafter said rumours Carey would earn $2 million for her Sydney show alone were "off the mark."

Melbourne Mariah Carey fans may still get a chance to see the diva.

In a surprise announcement, Carey will play at Jupiter's on the Gold Coast on January 1 and Sydney 's Allphones Arena on January 3.

Promoter Mark Rafter is negotiating for a possible third show in Melbourne.

''At the moment it's only the two shows but things can change quickly," Rafter said.

''Never say never."

Carey's last visit to Melbourne in 1998 saw her cancel a show due to illness.

Tickets start at $99 with $699 option offering a front row seat and entry to a pre-show function, but no meet and greet with the US star.

A high profile opening act will be announced next week.
