Radar Online is reporting that Mariah Carey and former “American Idol” judge Randy Jackson are preparing Whitney Houston‘s daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown to become a pop star like her late mother.

“Mariah and Randy were close friends of Whitney’s and were heartbroken after she died suddenly in 2012. They kept in touch. Now Randy has decided he wants to make a full court press to help Bobbi Kristina become a star– and Mariah told him she wanted in, too!” a source close to music producer Jackson told Radar.

“Mariah would love to step in and provide mentoring to BK because she and Randy have been so close and even worked together on last season’s ‘American Idol.’ They have years of music experience between them and will share all their knowledge with Bobbi Kristina.

“Randy wants to move quickly and is presenting a plan for the potential star that gets her on the pop charts in under 12 months.”

The source added: “For her part, Bobbi Kristina is being extremely careful about her first steps into the pop singing world.”
