Mariah Carey Tickets

X Factor USA winner Melanie Amaro has revealed her plans to work with a bunch of artists including Mariah Carey and Ne-Yo.

The 19-year-old took the X Factor crown in December and officially signed to L.A. Reid's Epic record label last week. Clearly not wasting any time, Melanie has revealed her dream musical collaborations.

"There's lots of people I want to work with," she told BET's 106 & Park. "There so many different artists I think have so much talent that I think would really complement me and my voice."

"I really, really want to do a song with Mariah, like, oh my God, she is like my idol. I also want to work with Ne-Yo, cause I hear he's a great song writer... There are a couple of other ones but I'll leave that for the album."

Melanie and Mariah have already been in contact with each other on Twitter, with Mariah telling the youngster she has a "beautiful gift."
