Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Mariah Carey's onscreen feud with Nicki Minaj was the subject of so much American Idol airtime last season that industry insiders blamed them for alienating viewers.
Carey and Minaj have since left the show -- with a friendlier dynamic between Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr., replacing them -- but the 43-year-old singer doesn't look back fondly on the experience.
