Mariah Carey to appear on 'The X Factor'

LONDON: American recording artist and actress Mariah Carey has signed up to appear on the television music talent show “The X Factor” next month.

The diva will sing her new track “I Stay In Love” on the Nov 8 show, reports thesun.co.uk.

“Simon Cowell (format creator and judge on the British series) loves Mariah. He's always comparing acts to her. And finally all the compliments have paid off. It's amazing to have such a big name singing on a British talent show,” said a source from the show.

Thrilled producers are expecting ratings to go through the roof with her presence.

“Mariah is one of the most successful female artists of all time. It's going to blow 'Strictly Come Dancing' out the water,” said another source.

“Strictly Come Dancing” is another British television show, featuring celebrities with professional dance partners competing in Ballroom and Latin dances.
