Mariah/Keith are the best judges. They have expertise/talent and natural charm.

Nicki is quite annoying. She's very forced in her commentary. She only started speaking of tone once the other judges ran with it. Also, she rambles often to seem as though she knows what she's talking about. She's very insecure about Mariah's resume/success, and her inspiring everyone. It's also aggravating that she cuts Mariah off so early, only for her to talk about a bunch of nothing. Mariah's sense of music is amazing. Nicki is very hypocritical. She also likes to twist the other judges intentions.

No one ever told that country singer that she had to be this or that, they were just saying that her sound was country, which it is. It wasn't like she had a T.Swift type of voice. She had alot of twang in her voice. Nicki was offended because she doesn't know how to balance being a hip/pop artist. All of her last records have been pop records. Nicki should've gone to X-Factor. They seem to want more of what she's looking for. An entertainer doesn't have to be a walking stage show, they just have to engae their audience in what they are conveying.
