Why in the world is Nikki Minaj judging American idol?

I really don't see how she has talent. Some of those singers are probably better than her.

Update:

Yes, Nikki Minaj has a OK voice, but most of her songs are on Auto-Tune. And none of her songs even have meaning they're just stupid.

    I think they were trying to bring in a new group of people

    The problem is American Idol is a family show

    In the past few years, people on the show been watching since they were children

    Nikki does not seem to care about that, the things she said should not be said on a family show

    She thinks it's late night where you could get away with things you should not during the family show

    This week, she was more careful for what she was saying until the last 1/4 of the show

    I think the producers talked to her about it being a family show, she was careful last night

    I do not get why she is on the show

    For what I understand she like Biber went from the internet to fame

    That they never really did what these singers are doing

    She seem to think the show is the nikki show, she is not mature enough to do this show

    Everybody bring Nicki Minaj down. Everyone hates on her. Nobody actually can compare to her. She doesn't bother anybody for anybody to hate her. I personally feel like she's up there because she's talented & ovbiously she's getting her money either way. American Idol sponsered her & I understand Nicki Minaj has an attitude or sometimes can be fake AT TIMES.. Although everybody does. I think all celeberity singers & rappers uses auto-tune. Nobody is perfect. God did not create one person perfect. My whole thing is if your making a big deal out of Nicki Minaj being on "American Idol" can you sing? Are you getting paid for it? I honestly think once you get to that amount of fame where there's actually meaning to judge someone & their creativity when your over here doing what? Leave Nicki Minaj alone. You may not like her, she may be ghetto to most people, she may be fake & phony to people but she's not bothering you so stop hating on her for no apparent reason. It shows your jealous & obviously ignorant. I'm not insulting you. I just think before you talk about a celeberty who is actually getting money for what she does is worthless. But I don't like everything about her neither.But I'm not going to talk bad about her, that doesn't make me any better.

    the only first rate decide on there is Randy. Nicki is terrible to take heed to together with her obnoxious voice and says no longer something even nonetheless she won't close up and talks over anybody and tries to run the practice. city is approximately as thrilling as gazing grass advance. He could be a advantageous guy and proficient, yet so uninteresting. Mariah is likewise uninteresting and extremely in love with herself. She has no longer something plenty to declare and no character. this can be the 1st 3 hundred and sixty 5 days ever using fact it got here on the air that I heavily isn't gazing it this season. won't be able to stand the judges aside from Randy. do away with 3 of them.

    I, personally, think that it's to get young "hip" kids to get into the show... American Idol is losing it's young fan base (teens like me) because everyone on there sings ballads... So they think that everyone will start watching just because someone who sings songs they like is on there... They will watch... Which I guess is kinda true, but it's also just plain stupid

    And yes, Keith and, even Mariah (who I personally don't like as a judge) are both way better singers than Nikki ever will be. I don't think Randy has ever singed tho. I think he was a bassist... But that's off subject...

    I agree with her. She has never written one single song either. A true musician writes their own music. Either the notes to be played or the words. She, like several pop-stars today, are only stars because of their looks. And her and Gaga aren't pretty with and without makeup. Teenagers need good role models. These two women aren't. They only tell kids that they can do anything they want and make tons of money. Money rules. Stupid and useless.
