The 43-year-old singer said it was like 'going to work every day in hell with Satan', reported Femalefirst online.
"Honestly, I hated it. Here's what it was. I was the first person who signed on... I thought it was going to be a three-person panel.
"They gave me a nice... Monetary moment, and I was just like, 'Okay, Randy Jackson will be there; I've known him forever. He used to play bass for me. Like, this isn't a big deal. This will be nothing'," Carey said.
Carey, who previously revealed her husband, Nick Cannon, convinced her to join the show, also accused producers of the Fox series of not putting contestants through for "political reasons."
"You know what I loved? I loved the contestants. And some of them that were so good -- and also really good people, you could tell -- it was disappointing when the judges would, for political reasons, not put people through," she said.
