Mariah Carey pulled Nicki Minaj aside
yesterday and convinced her ... feuding would not be good for the show,
and they both needed to stop the antics they pulled during Sunday's
auditions.
"American Idol" sources tell TMZ ... Mariah and others
were ticked off Sunday that Nicki arrived 45 minutes late ... and that
set the tone for the whole day. Although Nigel Lythgoe
is saying everything was hunky dory Sunday, we know it wasn't. Mariah
talked over Nicki, criticizing her critiques, and Nicki fired right
back.
But
on Monday, Mariah buttonholed Nicki and the 2 agreed ... a feud
wouldn't be good for the show, so they buried the hatchet and walked
down the hall smiling, hand-in-hand.
But here's the thing. We're thinking a feud is exactly what "A.I." needs.
