Mariah Carey would feel “violated” if she had children.

The 38-year-old music star wouldn’t feel comfortable becoming a mother, and is more than happy looking after her pet dog Jack.

She told Britain’s OK! magazine: “I never wanted to feel violated and I know that’s a kind of weird thing to say, but that’s how I am. It’s definitely because of childhood traumatic stuff. “It’s hard to have kids in this world. I don’t think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but I actually haven’t thought about it. For now, I enjoy my dog Jack’s company.”

Last year, Mariah revealed she would never consider having a baby if she wasn’t married.

The ‘Touch My Body’ singer said: “If I were to have a child, I would want to be married with a stable family environment. Not to say that’s how everyone has to do it but it’s the way I want to do things.

“My parents divorced when I was young and I’m not saying it was unstable but it’s not ideal either.”

Jason Castro performs I Dont Wanna Cry. top 7 this week. Mariah Carey is the mentor this week.

There have been some pretty major mentors on American Idol over the years: Stevie Wonder, Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, and Burt Bacharach, just to name a few. But there’s never been a bigger superstar mentor than the ultimate diva and Randy Jackson’s BFF, Mariah Carey…who uncoincidentally is releasing her new album, E=MC2, this week. Ryan described the woman as “unstoppable,” and while that’s not entirely true–that Glitter fiasco stopped her pretty good, for a while–she is no doubt a positive role model for anyone who’s had to overcome adversity. Because being in the bottom three ain’t nothing compared to what this lady’s been through.

But anyway, as I mentioned in my previous blog about this season’s mentors, usually when an Idol contestant tackles a Mariah song, it proves to be a very, very bad decision. Because the finalist is inevitably–and almost always unfavorably–compared to Mariah. So the finalists seemed set up for failure tonight–and naturally, I steeled myself for an evening of pale Mimi imitations, missed upper-octave notes, and biased critiques from Randy.
