Nicki Minaj fights Mariah Carey

Well everyone knows what American Idol is. As wack as the concept may seem, I have enjoyed a few seasons of the show myself. Im always looking for new talent and I enjoy the fact that after the performances if you like the contestants version of a song you can purchase it on tunes. So far the only two purchases I have made was of Ruben Studdards "Tears of a clown" and Haley Reinharts "House of the Rising Sun" . One was from like 2004 and the other was from the year before last. Needless to say Im picky. Anyhow this year the judges of Idol are changing. For the last two years it has been Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler, and Randy Jackson. Lopez I could do without but Steven Tyler was amusing. This year those two have both moved on and now there will be four judges. Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban, and of course Randy.

I know a lot of people hate on Mariah Carey but at the end of the day no one in the world can sing more octaves than her. Thats in the guiness book of world records so check it out. If you dont know what octaves are then you dont know as much about music as you think and you need to see Google about that. Her opinion shall be respected by me. It is a singing contest after all.

Now as for Ms. Minaj, I do like some of her music but she is terribly inconsistent. She is gangster one minute and barbie the next. Personally I prefer the gangster Nicki. I guess her multiple personalities is part of her appeal to the masses though. Now for her being a judge on Idol I dont know about that. I dont feel like she has been in the game long enough, also it is not a rapping competition it is a singing competition.....She was brought in only to bring the attention of a younger audience but I think they will probably lose out on the older audiences that religiously watch the program.

Keith Urban is country and they do need a country judge so Im cool with that. The thing that is the big deal is that there is apparently this ongoing beef between Minaj and Mariah. It was a rumor until today when a video came out of the two in a heated argument. Minaj is shown screaming in the video "I told them I wasnt dealing with your fucking highness over here" as she then looks at Carey. Mariah is shown saying something back but you cant tell what she is saying. Poor Keith Urban has thrown up his hands and is sitting there looking perplexed while Randy Jackson tries to break it up. Noone knows who released the video and no one is commenting on it. Im gonna have to go team Mariah on this one just for the simple fact that Minaj shouldnt be there in the first place. Thats not her fault though she is just collecting a check.

MTV Music Video Awards

WHOOOOOO!!! Big night for music blogs.
Well I just got finished watching the MTV Music Video Awards and here are my comments.

First of all Rihannas performance at the beginning was not very good. She would sing like two words and then stop and let the prerecorded track play. I could do that and sound decent and trust me I sing horribly. Then throughout the show they kept showing her and Katy Perry creeping hard on one direction. Perhaps they were thinking about hooking up with Harry who already is rumored to have hooked up with a 36 year old married dj. At the end Rihanna won Best Music Video of the year and she got up and dusted her shoulder off, pimp move taken from her boss....Jay-Z. Good job.

Drake won Best Hip Hop Video. Good. I would have voted for Jay-Z but I do like Drake. I did not, however, like his outfit. What the hell was with that silk shirt he was wearing? With his fro cut that way and his silk shirt he looked like a 70s porn star. AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON WHAT NICKI MINAJ WAS WEARING nor her strange demeanor and speech. I do like her music sometimes though. I liked her small verse better than Alicia Keys in her own song. It was neat that they had Gabby from the olympic team come do some flips on stage .

I only have a few more things to add:

1. One Direction was actually good. I never gave them a chance before.
2. Kesha looked messed up on pills or heroin. Its bad when you gotta hold on to Wiz Khalifa for balance.
3. Im really glad that they honored Adam MCA Yauch. He was an innovator NO SLEEP TIL BROOKLYN!!!
4. Lastly  I will admit that Taylor Swifts closing perfrmance wasnt bad. It was decent and she looked better in that striped shirt than she does when she is all dressed up. She does seem a tad full of herself now.

Thats it!!!! No epic moments this year. Im out.
