Mariah Carey v. Nicki Minaj — The Digs Continue

My tolerance for this American Idol panel has hit an all-time low. First, Mariah Carey is a legend whose been relegated to taking digs from NIcki Minaj, who executes them at every possible chance. Mariah should be ushered in on a damn throne with minions fanning her and serving her water, not quietly letting Minaj take the reigns on a talent show that’s far past its prime. If I were Mariah, I’d step up not out. I’d do what JLO did and assume my status, not ask for it. I’d walk out like I owned the entire stadium, I’d over-talk Minaj, and I’d demand that the producers let me run the panel by being the first to speak. She’s the QUEEN, and she should be treated as such. Watch Minaj’s dig below.

Tommy Mottola Talks Mariah Carey: Was He a “Svengali?”

Don’t you just love the man whose apology is wrapped in a dig? The music titan, known as Tommy Mottola/Mariah Carey’s ex-husband, addressed Carey’s accusations of his controlling nature, saying, “I think that anyone that is successful becomes obsessive with what they are trying to succeed at.” He also took the time to take credit for her entire career. Watch below.

Nicki Minaj’s Diva Meltdown — Watch Her Storm Off

First she pouts, then she’s pissed, and then she has a childish meltdown. Nicki Minaj’s unprofessional tirade proves she’s not cut out for the job, and the ratings decline I anticipate proves she should be paid-out and pushed-out. It is a judge’s job to guide the contestants, not to get in their way. If you want the spotlight, take the stage yourself instead of stealing it. And furthermore, her unfounded objection made her appear unhinged. The judges are allowed to inquire as to an artist’s identity. That’s an important part of a brand, and brand is everything. Watch below.

Mariah Carey v. Nicki Minaj — Diva Throwdown — WATCH

Nicki Minaj’s level of disrespect toward Mariah Carey on last night’s American Idol was astounding. And here’s some words of advice for Minaj. If you’re going to take digs at Mariah, perhaps you should pick topics that don’t involve her enormous success, considering you’re just a peon in comparison. Watch the clip below, and see how Minaj’s jealousy took over when someone complimented Mariah’s “All I Want For Christmas” being “the best modern day Christmas song.” Minaj couldn’t handle it, saying “It sure was wasn’t it,” which led to Mariah rightly responding with, “It still IS.”

The biggest culprits here are the producers, who missed the mark in hiring Minaj after Carey. The idea was to have a gigantic star like Mariah legitimize the show, but with Minaj’s attempt to take Mariah down a peg with “has-been” commentary, it waters down that purpose. It’s a huge blunder.

American Idol Debuts — Did the Dueling Divas Play Nice?

american idolIt took me a solid fifteen seconds to realize the drastic error of combining Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj on the American Idol judging panel. The producers got greedy and thought that adding two power-house players instead of one would get even more viewers. The only problem? These dueling divas cancel each other out. The other problem? Nicki Minaj isn’t deserving of the slot. First, she’s more concerned with her own camera time than the contestants, and second, the true star is Mariah Carey, and Minaj is dimming her light. In fact, I’d venture to guess that she’s intentionally dimming her light out of her own insecurity. Mariah Carey is too good for this, and Nicki Minaj isn’t good enough. I feel sorry for her that she signed on prior to knowing that Minaj was hired, and I’m relatively certain her contractual obligation is the only reason she stayed.

Nicki Minaj Wants You To Come On Her Cone — Don’t Do It

I’m not sure what it means to “Come on a Cone,” but Nicki Minaj wants you to. She also wants you to know that “if you wasn’t so ugly, [she’d] put [her] dick in your face.” And by the way, if you’re wondering why Mariah Carey doesn’t respect Nicki Minaj as an artist, it will all become clear when you watch the video below.

Nicki Minaj v. Mariah Carey — Barbara Walters Weighs In

I’m not sure why the American Idol producers picked Nicki Minaj to judge when she doesn’t get along with their heaviest hitter, and I’m also not sure why Nicki can’t have a little class and keep her mouth shut. At least Mariah Carey had someone less hot-headed speak on her behalf instead of ranting on twitter. After all, if you’re going to have someone in your corner, Barbara Walters is a great choice. Watch Walters recount her conversation with Mariah, in which Mariah alleged that Nicki threatened to shoot her. As for Nicki, she replied on twitter (true to form), saying, “Ironically no camera or mic heard the gun comment tho. Lol @ the struggle. Not even the producers believed u. Say no to violence barbz.”

Nicki Minaj v. Mariah Carey — Diva Throwdown — Watch!

I’m not sure exactly what was said in the clip below, but there’s certainly a lot of childish yelling. And judging by who is doing the yelling, it looks like Nicki Minaj might be in the wrong. I find that he who says the least often looks the best. As for whether these ladies can get it together, my guess is that the only person losing his hair over this is producer Nigel Lythgoe, who likely isn’t pleased with what will probably be a very unpleasant season for him.
