I’m not going lie. I am not a huge Nicki Minaj fan.
Yes, she has killer beats, and her songs are super catchy. But I didn’t really care for her anymore when I figured out what she was saying so quickly in her hit song, Super Bass.
He cold, he dope, he might sell coke.
Yes, cocaine dealers sound totally cold and dope ( I think “cold” and “dope” are terms of endearment). Let’s all teach our daughters to date drug dealers. *insert sarcasm*
After her performance at the Grammy Awards last night, I have moved from not caring for some of her lyrics to being completely confused by her.
She showed up on the red carpet with a fake Pope.
Which surprisingly made a little more sense once I saw her perform her new song, Roman Holiday.
Minaj began her performance in confessional booth, singing a creepy rendition of I Feel Pretty. And then she growled at the priest who was taking her confession. This obviously lead to some sort of exorcism that was shown as a movie?
*Note: question mark is not a typo*
*I am just truly not sure what that whole part was about*
After that, my brain exploded because she just sort of yelled at me through the TV for the next four minutes. Here, watch it yourself and see if your brain breaks.
Did you mistake that for some sort of seizure or bad acid trip? Me, too!
And I think the rest of the crowd was super confused as well. No one really knew when the performance was over. Everyone kind of sat there stunned and thinking, What just happened? Did someone roofie my drink?
As far as I can tell, she was the only performer to not get a standing ovation.
Since when was being shocking considered having talent? Have we gone too artistic? Is she trying to one-up our girl, Gaga? Because this feels oddly like a little song called, Judas, don’t you think?
I twittered this last night, but it bears repeating: I’m all for art and weirdness, but simulating oral sex with an alter boy is not art.
For about 1-1/2 seconds, a female dancer was shown putting an “alter boy’s” face in her crotch, leaning over a prayer stand (I don’t know the official name for it).
Not impressed.
Thing is…Judas is actually good. This is just…I don’t even know what this is. But then, I see no talent in Minaj whatsoever.
They kept saying we would be talking about her performance tomorrow (meaning today), and I’ve come to the conclusion that they meant we would be talking about how bad it was. Or what the hell it even was…. So confused! Not a grammy worthy performance at all!
When the performances get so over -the-top and theatrical…I have to wonder, Are they trying to distract me from her voice?? Can she actually SING??
I’m still wondering this about Beyonce- I won’t go search for it, but I have NEVER heard her sing on the radio unless it’s some grunting sex noise: ‘IFYOULIKEITTHENYUOUSHUDDAPUTARINGONIT’.
Um, my cat makes that sound, without trying.
I have heard people say that she actually has a fabulous voice. I’d love to hear it some time.
This one? Minaj? If that’s what it takes to sell your voice, we need to come up with another name for it. It sure isn’t ‘music’!!
Oh Gawd, yes. My husband asked who she was and I had no words. We decided she was trying to be as “shocking” as GaGa, but failed. Shock isn’t her thing, although admittedly I don’t know what is.
Wasn’t she part of the Super Bowl performance too?
I’ve never liked Nicki Minaj. Ever. I hate how she pretends to have a British accent half the time. And that one song (don’t even know what it’s called)…
“I get what I DESI-YA, it’s my EMPI-YA”
Most annoying thing EVER.
Last night confirmed I was right in not liking her. I was beyond offended. I was yelling at my husband and the tv (I may or may not have been drinking). I just…no. Not okay. None of it was okay.
Also? She IS TRYING TO BE LADY GAGA. It was a total rip off of Judas (don’t even get me started on that one), except IT WASN’T EVEN A GOOD PERFORMANCE. It was for shock value, period. There was nothing impressive about it. At least Gaga has talent.
I had no idea who she was until last weekend when she performed with Madonna at the Super Bowl.
She is talentless is what she is. That was horrible.
I don’t get how she even has fans.
I didn’t understand any of it but did question the little movie exorcism thing. My husband thought it was probably so they could change set and/or wardrobe?
I stopped watching not to far in. To crazy for me.
I don’t GET it… And I think she should also stick to her weird rapping and never try to sing. And I don’t GET it…
The thing is when she sings it doesn’t sound anything like her. She sings really well. I liked her MTV awards performance, but last night had no redeeming factors. Blech.
Sorry, it was her AMA performance of Turn Me On
Her Grammy proformance was crazy. I had to change the channel because I was so confused.
I think she is/was totally trying to one up Lady Gaga… she just needs to sit down and go home.
She makes Lady Gaga look like the most normal, minivan driving, starbucks drinking, publix shopping, soccer mom ever. I’m not even sure, even now, what a Nicki Minaj IS. I think it’s like a Snooki. Mind. Blown.
I’m all for artistic performances but that was just trying WAY too hard to be shocking…and a rip off of Madonna and Gaga.
I’ll be really glad when her 15 minutes are up.
Why all the haters? ? I love nicki, she is super fierce
