Jessica Sanchez: “Nicki Minaj Is Great For ‘American Idol’

Published: Saturday 22nd Sep 2012 by David

In what may come as a surprise to many Pop Culture spectators, it seems Mariah Carey‘s joining of FOX‘s ‘American Idol’ has been overshadowed by the arrival of ‘Va Va Voom‘ songstress Nicki Minaj.

Striking up a debate as to whether she is qualified to judge fresh talent, despite being one of Pop’s more celebrated stars, Minaj’s ‘Idol’ role has now won the approval of Season 11 staple Jessica Sanchez.

Full story below…

On the Rapper’s joining the show, Sanchez shared with ‘The Myx’:

“I think those are amazing choices for the new judge panel. They’re definitely different from the other people. Nicki Minaj is definitely an entertainer, and to be in the music industry you have to be an entertainer, so I think she’ll help with that a lot.”

The starlet’s remarks arrive after she inked a deal with ‘Interscope Records’, which houses ‘ARTPOP‘ sensation Lady GaGa and ‘Van Vogue‘s Azealia Banks.

 So, let us know…

 Do you agree with her?

    I still don’t get why NICKI MINAJ is a judge on american idol. Well to be honest I don’t know how J.Lo was a judge on a singing competition

  3. Monstarebel September 22, 2012

    Jessica who? Another non factor. Nicki is good to entertain children that only comprehend the excitement of colors on a screen, and these boys that want to be her.

    Jessica Sanchez guess you didn’t know that you mustn’t say anything nice about Nicki Minaj,you mustn’t give you,er honest opinion about her,you will get attacking by the lynch mob on these sights you just got you,er self a few naysayers,look at the negativity on her already and the regular haven’t even come on yet,anyways Jessica in my opinion keep giving you,er honest opinion don’t let anyone bully you to not go against the grain.

    • nunu September 22, 2012

      Nicki is a good rapper but a singer no no no btw this is a SINGING COMPETITION not Rapping -_-

      • WTF September 22, 2012

        Thats Right!!!!

      • FAF September 22, 2012

        American Idol is not just a singing competition, they are judged on imaging and song choice and selection as well. nicki has top 10 appeal 2 #1 albums and MAc, OPI, Fragrance, Pepsi deals, so she knows what she’s doing! She can give a lot of advice on how to market yourself as a brand and gain public attention!

    THE ONLY REASON I FEEL NICKI IS A JUDGE IS BECAUSE SHE IS GOING TO HELP INCREASE THE RATINGS BY BRINGING IN A YOUNGER AUDIENCE (POSSIBLY AGES 14-21); BUT AS A FAN OF NM I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DON’T THINK SHE HAS BEEN IN THE GAME LONG ENOUGH TO CRITIQUE ANYBODY YET ALONE CRITIQUE A SINGING COMPETITION. FOX SHOULD HAVE LET MARIAH RULE AS THE ONLY FEMALE JUDGE I MEAN SHE IS A LEGEND.

  10. DOSSOME September 22, 2012

    Oh sam,your sense of judgement has been overshadowed by your lack of reasoning…..mariah slays your fave in every aspect,deal with it…and congrats to nicki for being approved by a season 11 contestant…

    • FAF September 22, 2012

      U mad u wasn’t approved, huh? 🙂

      • quetta September 22, 2012

        But, this chick is a nobody..so how is that being approved? Try again.

  11. WTF September 22, 2012

    How is that news? A reject from season 11 contestant put her 2cents on it big f****** deal… Shes a reject that no one will remember not like Jennifer Hudson, Chris Daughtry, Katharine McPhee, Justin Guarini, David Archuleta, Adam Lambert, Elliott Yamin,Constantine Maroulis & Clay Aiken Im not saying they are all my favourite but I am saying they all have and will have better careers then reject Jessica Sanchez.

    Why y’all goin hard on her for? Cause she think nicki will add entertainment to the show (which you all know she will)

  13. bibi93 September 22, 2012

    Nicki the best!!

    Sam is completely stupid. People are more so angered by the fact that Minaj is a judge because she isn’t deserving of it. She a flavor of the moment, they want ratings, but what they fail to realize is that Nicki is no Britney. She doesn’t have that much clout in this business as they’d like to put out there. If anything people are angry because Nicki cannot sing. She sings through an autotuned mic and she does that badly. JLo could atleast carry a tune.

  15. theman September 23, 2012

    Sam is just clueless, and post things without merit. What an idiot. This clown can’t ever overshadow Mariah have u lost your damn marbles???????……. Only the kiddies care about her, her core hiphop fans don’t and middle American will look at her like the clown that she is…

  16. Krystle September 24, 2012

    None of you guys have a reason to judge.. If they want Nicki To be a judge then let her be a judge.It will obviously be a big hit on TV because its already big on the internet and Ameican Idol hasnt even started yet.. And if you dont like it, maybe then you should get a job with FOX then a job with American Idol, then you can talk sh*t.. but not now.. Its ridiculous too many people hate on the girl but yet she is making millions.. has two #1 albums… and yeah shes new to the game but yet she has her own pepsi commercial, adidas commercial, her own fragrance, OPI.. she obvio0usly has it made and knows what she is doing.. !!
    and the people who go onto American idol obvio9usly want to become big and famous and beside Mariah Carey, who also will be a great judge, Nicki Minaj will be a great example to people…

    ^^ My Opinion^^
