Watch: Nicki Minaj Performs ‘Right By My Side’ On ‘Ellen’

Published: Thursday 10th May 2012 by David

 

Get into Nicki Minaj, performing her new single ‘Right By My Side‘ live on ‘Ellen‘.

In support of her #1 album ‘Roman Reloaded’, the Pop sensation served the cut sans its featuring act Chris Brown, days before she rocks LA’s ‘Wango Tango‘.

Watch her perform ‘RBMS’ and ‘Starships’ below…

Great.

Following the hoopla that surrounded her Grammy performance, the above gives those unsure of Minaj’s live skills an even harder time.

From the pitch perfect vocals to its staging, performances like these can only boost hype for the upcoming ‘Roman Reloaded Tour’, and cement Nicki’s position as Rap’s most promising Pop export.

    I must say, this performance wasn’t that bad. Naturally this girl isn’t a singer, but she didn’t lip sync & she kept a tune. I give credit where it’s due, she did really good.

    LOLOL @ BLACK BUNNY

  5. @captainbrownie May 10, 2012

    not bad

    Let’s just say as long as I have not died some things cannot be replaced. Like ME. You saw the tweets years ago. Lived your moment and now what is next? I’m not sure if ones heart has not room for who was here before her. Nicki has made major success since her encounter. It is hard to be told that money cannot buy REAL love. It buys moments. I had to be taught what the true meaning of love is and I am forever grateful. We have came too far.

      Girl don’t waste you time these crack babies won’t understand.

  7. MASTERCRAFT May 10, 2012

    WOW I ACTUALLY THINK HER VOICE GOT A LOT BETTER! SO GLAD SHE DIDN’T LIP SYNC LIKE IN THE PAST! I ENJOYED THE PERFORMANCE, LOVED THE HAIR, HATED THE OUTFIT. BUT OVERALL I LIKED IT.

  8. DaHotNig May 10, 2012

    @truth you need to go purchase kim new song “keys to the s*****”, it peaked at #826 on AMAZON lol!

  9. JJFan1814 May 10, 2012

    Wow, I like Nicki, but she impressed me…

  10. MONSTERHIVE May 10, 2012

    First off let me get this out of the way, she messed up a lyric on RBMS she said “fighting over so belligerent” it’s “fighting over so irrelevant” phew. Moving on, I really liked the performance not bad. Nicki has definitely seen a vocal coach, love the song & can’t wait for the video.

  11. MONSTERHIVE May 10, 2012

    Lmfao I can’t at Lil Kim’s stans promoting Kim’s music! Calling Nicki a flop when your girl can’t even land a #50 on the charts, has never had a #1 album, has never sold over 300 thousand in a week (when people were actually buying albums) & let me remind you that “The Naked Truth” still hasn’t even sold 500 thousand after 7 years! You h***’ priorities are all f***** up! Normally I never come for the Kim stans but I can’t handle delusional & pathetic stans. Keep reaching cause Nicki is going no where, Pepsi Campaign & all. Stay mad.

  12. ENOUGH ONIKA May 10, 2012

    She’s got a year and a half left…tops #ThatIsAll

  13. Os May 10, 2012

  14. itsme May 10, 2012

    Her #1 album??

    You stay on Nicki’s fake ass but have yet to report how her sales are NOT doing as well as he STANS think they are…

    and oh yea that performance SUCKS…i hope she gets booed at Hot 97 Summer Jame

  15. TalkThatTalkHoe May 10, 2012

    I’m not even a Nicki stan but I find it very contradicting for you to say “you stay on Nicki’s fake ass” yet you decided to click on the post. Seems to me it’s the other way around dear 🙂

  16. Shioniedoo May 10, 2012

    Pitch perfect performance?? She was flat and sharp all over the place. Granted she didn’t use the backing track like she always do, but all it shows is how talentless and lackluster she really is as an entertainer.

  17. mjm May 10, 2012

    This is the nicki minaj i love…you did great and clothes was normal..

  18. OpD2 May 10, 2012

    ITSME i know you are going to be there to try and get you boo on,thats what you haters do,the sales of the album is not doing well true but it,s still selling,get da f-ck out of here,and it seems like you SHIONIEDOO is the same person the same go,s for that name too.

  22. MARCUS May 10, 2012

    NOT BAD….WAS SURPRISED

  23. YOOSONDALOOSE May 10, 2012

    Wow, very good vocals, for Nicki.

  24. Lana Bell May 10, 2012

    Sam, perhaps you need to get your ears checked. She was not pitch perfect. Thanks to using Auto-tune in the background, it helped her to stay AROUND the key she was suppose to be. If you want to talk about someone who tends to be pitch perfect, you may want to refer to Beyonce, an actual singer.

    And please stop praising this woman as though she is on her way to being the next Lauryn Hill…she will never even make it into the same hemisphere as Lauryn, even on her worst day. I’m really starting to see your bias ways towards certain artists shine through. Perhaps I’m confused but I thought TGJ was all about supporting and encouraging real, quality music . Clearly I was wrong b/c recently you have been co-signing and backing some crappy performances from certain artists even though it was not the business. If you can be so critical of Rihanna, you need to be honest when your favs are not producing stellar work.

    DISCLOSURE: I’m not a stan or a devoted fan of Beyonce or Rihanna. I am just an avid music lover that desires quality work from all of those that claim to be artists/musicians.

  25. Lana Bell May 10, 2012

    Sorry for the book I wrote, just a little frustrated with some of TGJ’s postings recently.

  26. pete May 10, 2012

    b**** did her thing! one of the best perfomances ive seen from her so far!

  27. Nic May 10, 2012

    Lana Bell u spoke nothing but the complete truth above!
    If Sam wants to be a Credible journalist/writer he needs to get his professionalism together

  28. KAT DELUNA FAN May 10, 2012

    The performance is great,she is working on her craft,you can tell.

  29. prettigurlrockD May 10, 2012

    This performance was great? I don’t know what yall listening to. Nicki can’t sing. I wont say she can’t rap but her rapping has gotten worse due to laziness and letting fame get to her.

    Oh man, only thing the stans can say is that she’s getting money. I’m far from oblivious to that fact but she needs to be getting sum talent instead. Voice lessons would do. Her and rihanna. Chop chop!

  30. The Zolonski Trap May 10, 2012

    i swear ya’ll be haaaaaaaaatttttiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnn……there was not a THING wrong with that performance, and i’m not speaking from a nicki fan perspective…she sang LIVE (something ya’ll accuse her of doing), her wardrobe was cute, her hair was banging and her performance was great…ya’ll always pick a reason to sweat the girl like damn, it’s getting old and ridiculous…i honestly think the reason for the hate is because Kim’s effort to come back ain’t really been the best of both worlds so you Kim fans SWEAT nicki because she’s the cause…it’s like, if Kim was the queen she swear she is, then she should’ve been back on the scene the moment Nicki said “n-n-n-now all these b****** wanna try to be my bestie”..#TrueShit….don’t get mad at Nicki cus she never shuts a grind switch off…and Kim wasn’t even doing music until Nicki Minaj started blowing up the charts with the colorful wigs on…let’s keep it 100, Kim’s reason for a comeback is because she wants to be know as the original “Black Barbie”, it ain’t even about the “shots” taken at Kim…because a real “legend” or “queen” wouldn’t even sweat the SUBLIMINAL SHOTS taken at them because they should already have it engraved in their minds that “b****, i been there, done that, said that & wore that” BUT KIM FELT A THREAT, can’t defeat the threat and now her fans is on Minaj’s neck…#StepYaCookiesUp
    ANYWAYS *fixes weave* NICKI BOO, you tore that mutha fucka down..you vocals was ON POINT and ya performance was on point..not a single flaw this time around, there may be some in the future, but there was none on May 9th, 2012 on the set of the Ellen DeGeneres Show!!!!
    #BelieveThat
    #HOVLane

  31. Damn May 10, 2012

    Lmao if you gonna say that this wasn’t good you a hater I’m not really here for nicki this era but she did good! And ima need lil kim fans not to mock anyone sales nicki is in the top 10 ww where’s kim ? Besides paypal Bye

  32. Uhh Okaii May 10, 2012

    ihate her nose…that is all

  33. Eeewww May 11, 2012

    What a fake human beeing she is…

  34. Ch… May 12, 2012

    I need to know why Nicki stans always bring up Kim. She has nothing to do with this performance or TGJ posting it. I don’t stan for anyone. It’s just interesting because yall start writing novels and dissertations, bringing up Kim and flinging around the word “hater” like it’s 2006. Yet, I see yall never address those lackluster sales.

    KI.
