Mariah Carey Should Be ‘More Critical’ On ‘Idol,’ Says Phillip Phillips – So how would Phillips have fared with new judges Mariah Carey and (maybe) Nicki Minaj? We decided to put that question to him … and, as it turns out, he’s not certain his victory would have been so assured. “I don’t know, that’s a good question because I don’t know how they judge,” Phillips told MTV News. “I’m curious to see how they judge, well, at least Mariah, because I don’t know who else is going to be on there. But if Nicki was on there … she might be very critical, or she might not be.” See the Video at MTV

‘American Idol’ Tour: Backstage and in the Crowd as Phillip Phillips, Jessica Sanchez and Crew Roll Into Philadelphia (Video) – As for a future album, Laine said that she’s working on songs with writers in Nashville and promises her music will be more in the style of southern rock-country rather than pop. However, she’s quick to note that she has a definite idea of what she wants on record. “I don’t want my first song released to be about how country I am,” she said, adding that her goal is to be the “girl version” of country singer Justin Moore. “I want to sing what people love, but I also want to sing what makes me happy,” she said. She said that although the writing process is progressing quickly, she still doesn’t have a record deal. “19 Entertainment is holding right now, because they want to get really good songs to take to the record labels, so we are recording a few more,” she said. “We’re working on it.” – Read more at Hollywood Reporter
