Pop star Mariah Carey was a bit insecure last night after her performance on American Idol.  In true diva fashion she had her part of the show pre-taped 40 minutes before the actual live broadcast.

To make matters easier for everyone, Mariah’s portion of the hit show was shot aobut 40 minutes before the beginning of the live broadcast. To warm up, she did a quick run-through — only singing about half of the song — before shooting the version of the song that would air last night.

The diva was apparently very insecure and unsure of her performance.  She sought out Randy Jackson’s opinion to reassure her that it had been good enough.

But Mariah apparently had a different opinion of her performance. “The ending was a little rancid,� she countered.
“No, it sounded good,� assured Randy and his fellow judges, prompting cheers from the audience.

One, twice, three times the diva!  Mariah did look smoking hot!
