The mom of twins, whom we all know rose to fame for her extraordinarily wide vocal range and undeniable allure, is reportedly being considered to join the judges panel of America’s long-running singing competition, “American Idol.”

The five-time Grammy Award-winning singer joins the list of potential new judges—with actor Charlie Sheen and “Idol” Season 8 runner-up, Adam Lambert—to replace two-season judge Steven Tyler who recently announced that he’s quitting to focus on his music and Jennifer Lopez who has followed his footsteps.

An insider confirmed to PEOPLE:

“[Mariah]‘s in play. They are in serious talks.”

Do you think Mariah would make a good “Idol” mentor and judge?
