Naysayers of Pop debutante Nicki Minaj may find this year’s 2011 American Music Awards a little difficult to watch.
For, after performing for Versace and rocking the stage at Victoria’s Secret, the animated Rapper has been confirmed as the opening act for the ceremony which airs November 20th on ABC.
All the details below…
Taking to the stage with DJ David Guetta, the entertainer will perform the hits the pair worked on together, ‘Turn Me On‘ and ‘Where Dem Girls At‘.
Nominated for two awards, Minaj will join the likes of Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown, Christina Aguilera and Katy Perry who are also set to perform on the night.
Liddle Kim Who? Yeah all that hate only propels Ms. Minaj fwd, onward, and upward. Hate will stay just that. Hate! the only person who has to deal with is the person hating. So lighten up Kim and stop focusing on the negative. You worry more about Nicki then your own wavering “rap career” if you can even call it that after NOTORIOUS KIM!
I think Nicki’s had an incredible year, so I’m not going to throw shade on her as an artist, but her performances have left me wanting more. She seems lacking in terms of consistency and presence when it comes to who she is as a live act.
Her records are knockin’ though, so props to her. I hope she brings it…
I’m not ecstatic seeing as how she’s not the best live performer but I’m certainly curious.
Nicki can’t preform for sh*t.She is as stiff as a board.
If it’s going to be anything like her performance at the billboard awards,it will suck.
@TWISTA i totally agree but leaving em wanting more cant be a bad thing can it?
*shrugs*
Looks like the AMA havent learnt anything from havin riri open their show last year, ratings may even dip even lower this. When wil they stop havin these dolled up loud barrel non-performers open their show.
This one is 1 of d worsts, always movin like a damn hopeless idiot. She has absolutely no idea wat to do with herself on stage. If ppl are already sayin they tired of Gaga, how much longer does nicki think she can keep up the gimmick
@BEY’KNIGHT
you just mad beyonce wasnt asked to perform blah
I’ll be watching…her performances make me laugh
Haters will stay pressed! Nicki Minaj is Hawt and on a roll!
CLOWNS ARE ALWAYS HIRED!
I’M SURE SHE IS GOING TO BE HAVING A MILLION STAGE PROPS, A HUNDRED BACKGROUND DANCERS AND A STUPID ASS OUTFIT TO MATCH.
@yea i said it
N u bringing up Beyonce cus u know i spoke truth n u cant defend nicki, jus STFU n get over your obsession with Beyonce, gimp!
OKAY NICKI GURRRL !

& please Nicki will do just fine!
@Beyknight whatever yeah

sips moscato!
From the amazing year that was 2010 to the ending 2011 on a great note has proved that her “15 minutes” are no where near done 😉 She’s here to STAY & SLAY so get over it.
nice keep doing you nicki stay on that grind.
Welll ppl are tired of gaga cuz she’s far crazier than nicki minaj. And I am not tired of either of them. They are both entertaining and leave me wanting more and curious.
And Bey Knight are you even american? Y r u worried about this award show? Run along. If you don’t like nicki there will be other performances you can watch on youtube.
Nicki you better be practicing like crazy. She sucks at live performances.
it will suck big time lol, bring on the clown lol. she’s such a puppet lol
WTF?
Who ever made this decision should be fired with immediate effect.
As I’d predicted (as if it weren’t already all too obvious): Up comes Nicki Minaj, DOWN goes Rihanna! If THIS (her opening-up the AMAs) isn’t now enough PROOF POSITIVE that Nicki MInaj is T-H-E NEW IT-GIRL, then your word is flat and you shouldn’t ever look to befriend black cats.
Nicki Minaj has now pushed through the crowds to make HER way to the head of the line. Who’s NOW getting the movie roles, endorsement deals, and now opening shows? In this short time, Nicki Minaj has branded herself. And how long did it take Rihanna? ..Exactly!!
And, as she starts to tour, and makes herself available and seen in, the “world,” namely The U.K./Europe, she’ll surely (I guarantee it) make Rihanna irrelevant. What Nicki Minaj did to Rihanna, here in the U.S., she’ll THEN do to/with her in Europe/U.K.!
But why? ..Well, it’s because Rihanna was NOT able to “capitalize” off the drama leading up to (and since) “Rated – R”, that’s why!! Hear me: they’ll NEVER again be an artist given that…”sized” platform again; NEVER! Rihanna was then given the WORLD’S STAGE, and what did she do with it? NOTHING! That’s what! She can’t sell CDs. She’s a ‘singles’ artist. Ergo: Rihanna-Def Jam’s 360 contract. But Nicki Minaj CAN sell CDs. She can sell CDs WITHOUT the strife, smoke and mirrors, and ‘PR-amperage’ Rihanna requires.
Long-story short: We have ourselves a NEW ‘IT GIRL’.. Rihanna’s OUT; Nicki Minaj is IN!!
X,Y,”and Z”
Wack opening then!
lol Dead at people who compare a Nicki Minaj performance to a Gaga´s one! Some people on here are deninitely deaf and blind. If not, there wouldn´t be Rihanna fans of course
christina and maroon 5 will own the show ; trust me 😉
Yes! Woooo glad she is, Turn Me On is going to be liveeee!
I LUV U NICKI..SHOW DEM WAT U GAT..
