Is Nicki putting
the "high"
in Idol highlights?
In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Nicki launched into some convoluted explanation of her nutty antics on Idol that had something to do with overcompensating because she had heard, and later felt, that Mariah Carey didn’t like her. So someone doesn’t like you, and you act like a nut-job so they really won’t like you? Nicki’s explanation and her behavior are cray-cray. May it please the court…
Wardrobe
People like me who only saw images of Nicki Minaj but weren’t overly familiar with her work thought she may be a little left of center. Not to judge on appearances alone, but what is with all those f’d up pantsuits, wonky hats and Strawberry Shortcake wigs? She kind of looks like a demented cupcake.
Then, we got to know her as a judge on American Idol, and kind of grew to like her. So we dismissed the wack-a-doodle wardrobe as artistic expression. Now that we’re getting a taste of Nicki’s unorthodox behavior, perhaps the odd costumes and wigs are a sign of mild dementia. Even Joel Nemoyer, the contestant who laid down to sing his audition, thought Nicki looked like “cotton candy.” If a guy like Joel thinks your outfit is unusual, that might be a sign…
Joel Nemoyer has prefers to lie down when performing.

Nicki Minaj proves she’s not a crazy psycho >>
Commentary
Nicki Minaj is funny! But I’m still trying to figure out if she’s funny in a “great sense of humor” way, or funny in a “nuttier than a squirrel’s breakfast” kind of way. Last night she asked contestant Naomi Morris if she could have her bra. Kind of an odd thing to ask a stranger, but then, Naomi designed it herself and it was really cool.
I'm also still trying to figure out if Nicki crossed a line when she told two-time Idol contestant Candice Glover, “I’m obsessed with you. I want to skin you and eat you.” On one hand, this is the kind of crazy-a** sh** my sister says to make me giggle, but on the other hand, the fictional character Hannibal Lecter lived in a high-security prison with a wire cage on his face so he wouldn’t bite or eat people. If the producers of American Idol really want to make us laugh, they should have Nicki wear a wire cage mask on the next AI.
After bowing out of the competition last year in Las Vegas, Candice Glover auditioned this year with an air of redemption. Was she able to head to Hollywood for the second time?Subscribe now for more American Idol clips: http://bit.ly/AmericanIdol_SubscribeTune in to AMERICAN IDOL Wednesday & Thursday 8/7c on FOX!See more of American Idol on our official site: http://fox.tv/idolLike American Idol on Facebook: http://fox.tv/idolFBFollow American Idol on Twitter: http://fox.tv/idolTWAdd American Idol on Google : http://fox.tv/idolGAdd American Idol on Tumblr: http://fox.tv/idolTAdd American Idol on Pinterest: http://fox.tv/idol_pinFollow American Idol on Instagram: http://fox.tv/idol_ILike FOX on Facebook: http://fox.tv/FOXTV_FBFollow FOX on Twitter: http://fox.tv/FOXTV_TwitterAdd FOX on Google : http://fox.tv/FOXPlusHosted by Ryan Seacrest, television\'s No. 1 hit series empowers contestants and viewers to share their voices in deciding who will be America\'s next singing superstar.Every year, tens of thousands of hopefuls from across the nation audition for a shot at stardom.

Dissension in the ranks
Oh hell no! Randy Jacksondid not just play the “just trying to help, 30 years, a little insight” trump card when Nicki accused Randy and Mariah Carey of scaring contestants with their labels. And Mariah did not just play the “I’m trying to help her as opposed to just talking about her outfit” card.
Of course I'm referring to the pissing match heard round the world last night after contestant Summer’s audition. You could tell it had been a long day when lovable, mild-mannered, well-behaved Keith Urban got a little b*tchy when Summer said she had “done the country thing.” Keith wasn’t impressed, and for the first time, we saw just a stitch of diva coming from someone other than the girls.
So was it just an extra-long day and Nicki was over it? Or was she annoyed that for the first time she didn’t monopolize the post-audition analysis? We’re sure everyone will issue statements about Wednesday night’s skirmish, and we’re equally sure that Nicki’s explanation will be crazier than her walking off the set.
After her audition, Summer Cunningham inadvertently says something that causes a debate amongst the judges. Find out what.Subscribe now for more American Idol clips: http://bit.ly/AmericanIdol_SubscribeTune in to AMERICAN IDOL Wednesday & Thursday 8/7c on FOX!See more of American Idol on our official site: http://fox.tv/idolLike American Idol on Facebook: http://fox.tv/idolFBFollow American Idol on Twitter: http://fox.tv/idolTWAdd American Idol on Google : http://fox.tv/idolGAdd American Idol on Tumblr: http://fox.tv/idolTAdd American Idol on Pinterest: http://fox.tv/idol_pinFollow American Idol on Instagram: http://fox.tv/idol_ILike FOX on Facebook: http://fox.tv/FOXTV_FBFollow FOX on Twitter: http://fox.tv/FOXTV_TwitterAdd FOX on Google : http://fox.tv/FOXPlusHosted by Ryan Seacrest, television\'s No. 1 hit series empowers contestants and viewers to share their voices in deciding who will be America\'s next singing superstar.Every year, tens of thousands of hopefuls from across the nation audition for a shot at stardom.
