  2. Beyonce’s Weave (I COPY real hair) September 16, 2012

    Nicki Minaj looks a hot mess, she should take lessons from her fellow Islander on how to look fierce. Randy Jackson has lost weight and Mariah Carey looks stunning. Keith Urban that hair??? BYE!!!!!!!!

    • opd2 September 16, 2012

      You d-mb f-cks is like a f-cking annoying scratch record,it,s Nicki Minaj she is being her self,you expect her to drop her look out of the blue and be something else,she bin like this for the last 3+years,you acting like you expect to see something different,drop what f-cking Wig if she did that who da f-ck would we be looking at on that panel,she always have different color hair that[in mainstream] is apart of her image,you either like it are you don’t simple as that and shot da f-ck up.

  3. Damn September 16, 2012

    I saw that picture before I clicked on the article and i said niki looks lost..take of that wig. White america is gonna laugh at her lol

    • opd2 September 16, 2012

      You think white america is shallow and d-mn as you,grace jones[a black woman],Madonna Gaga and others have a eccentric images and they are stars in there own rights[and all races loves them],so do you think they give a f-ck if a few small minds like you who is laughing at them and is dragging white America in to it like you know all whites,to try and justify yall ignorance…and i am sure as hell that Nicki don’t give a f-ck.

      • Benron (King Of The Navy) September 16, 2012

        Black don’t go crazy for Gaga, or Madonna and I’ve never even heard of Grace Jones.

      • I’m A KING September 16, 2012

        please look up Grace Jones, I forgot you stan for Rihanna your in a hopeless place

      • Benron (King Of The Navy) September 16, 2012

        Never even heard the name. Do, sing, dance, do a talk show?

  4. MRDIVABITCH September 16, 2012

    A MESS…
    First they have a dancer and a bass player judging a singing competition, then they have an auto-tuned rapper judging a singing competition?
    G3rl #BYE.

    • I’m A KING September 16, 2012

      I Love the name…

    • nickiminaj September 16, 2012

      u mad cause kim didnt get da job an if u dont like her dont comment we know u fans will be watchin

      • MRDIVABITCH September 16, 2012

        Sowwy honey but I don’t stan for Lil’Kim either, I stan for real musicianship and vocal ability, and guess what? Nicki gots NONE, so why is the b**** in the show judging something God knows she has no business judging? Whose d*** did she suck to land the gig?

      • FAF September 17, 2012

        U STILL COMMENTING MISS F***.. WHY THE QUEEN GOT U SO PRESSED???

  5. MC September 16, 2012

    MC, KU, RJ are all looking good. Watch out Nicki before your hair catches on fire…..

  6. Benron (King Of The Navy) September 16, 2012

    Nicki might actually make older, more conservative folk stop watching the show. Like I said horrible judging choices, she is too flamboyant, obnoxious and downright crazy and comes off very abrasively. People might get annoyed by her being there.

    Can Mariah be the new simon though, we need an honest, shady ass person there.

    • nickiminaj September 16, 2012

      lies all u h*** will be watchin #beenafan

      • Common Sense September 16, 2012

        Watching for MC not for that circus refugee Nicki minaj.

    • FAF September 17, 2012

      U DONT HAVE CABLE, FLOP… STOP FRONTING!

  7. S****** Blonde September 16, 2012

    Mariah, Keith, Randy and Ryan looks great but Nicki looks like a clown, as a kid i was scared of clowns , still, i hate them, there’s nothing funny about them.

    • RDK September 16, 2012

      Don,t you have some d-ck to blow,it,s Nicki Minaj @ss hole,she is being her self,call her what you want to but she is doing her thing,i doubt i can say the same about you.

      • S****** Blonde September 16, 2012

        I suck one this morning but it wasn’t too big so i want more.

      • JER September 16, 2012

        GRRRL YOU BETTER GO INNN!!!!!!!!!! Onika Maraj needs to disappear from life so she can go get hers.

  8. DJ September 16, 2012

    • JohnVidal(RIP Whitney-truegreat) September 17, 2012

      As far as I know American Idol is still the biggest show in America. So it has not been flopping for 6 years

  9. MC September 16, 2012

    Y’all watch….when this show flops (it probably will) Sam is going to dump all of that on Mariah……just watch what happens.

    • S****** Blonde September 16, 2012

      I know but i think the mistake here is Nicki, Americans don’t want to see her.

      • MC September 16, 2012

        I agree

    • mr.m September 16, 2012

        AW!
        it must be given for her for not letting her have another flop beak-down!! #DEAD

    • Common Sense September 16, 2012

      A Has-been that outsold Xtincta’s 4th studio album with a christmas album… How tragic. Has Bionic gone Plastic yet btw?

  11. Truthteller September 16, 2012

    Mariah is fat as hell

      • mr.m September 16, 2012

        YAS she is! and she’s so ugly tbh ..
        she looks like the great Khali

        The great Khali-iah

    • Common Sense September 16, 2012

      Speaking of fat wrestlers, Xtincta’s t***** clown ass reminds me Goldust in the later years…

  12. I’m A KING September 16, 2012

    Nicki looks a PICKLE

  13. JER September 16, 2012

    I am NOT HERE for Nicki Minaj. I know Mimi is pissed HER choice of Lenny Kravitz instead of Nicki was overlooked. Nicki Minaj needs to have all the seats because all her advice is going to be “You know, in this business I’ve learned [SOUND BITE]”

    • mr.m September 16, 2012

      LOL!
      Nicki is a drag queen .. mimi is a shemale
      PERIOD

      • MC September 16, 2012

        Go pick up another 25000 copies of “Bionic”

      • mr.m September 16, 2012

        Go buy 1 copy of FLOP-phant . OUCH!

        #DEAD

      • MC September 16, 2012

        @mr.m I already did, but you need to seriously buy 15130000 copies of “Bionic”

  14. JER September 16, 2012

    I see the XXLtina satns stay pressed more than their sausage stuffed fave.

    You Xtincta stans need to have all the seats because your tired DELUSIONAL asses have mental illness for days… weeks… LIFE. Yal think KFCtina is the reason for everything and never let anyone else have their shine.

    Yal tried to say the only reason “Lady Marmalade” was a hit was because of XXLtina GURL BYE

    Then you said the only reason the 2002 VMA’s were a smash was because KFCtina presented an award…. GURL BYE

    Yal also said tried with saying the only reason the voice was sucessful was because she was on it…. GURL BYE

    Then yal reached so far saying “Moves Like Jagger” was a #1 only because Xtinca was on it for…. 20 seconds? GURL BYE

    LAWT! THE DELUSIONS!

    • mr.m September 16, 2012

      Xtina got Not Myself on the charts without dialing up 1-800-RentARapper. And dont try to pull the already tired “Shes flopping because its an urban single” b******* either. Dont reply with over used reciepts from the pass either. That was then, this is now. Have several seats as Lotus snatches life from Man-riah.

    • Slayty Perry September 16, 2012

      SMH, Kreayshawn’s Go Harder reached 79 on iTunes, Mooriah cant even crack the top 150

    Mariah looks classy and age appropriate for a change. Love it.

  23. Slayty Perry September 16, 2012

    I can see why Nicki Minaj joined the show. After flop singles and a flop album complete with an embarassing flop theatre tour her career is basically dead.

    • FAF September 17, 2012

      U MAD KATY PERRY GAY ASS DIDNT GET NO PRESS FROM THE QUEEN???

      WHY IS THIS NICKI FIRST RE-RELEASE

      AFTER T***** PERRY RELEASED THAT FLOP CONCERT MOVIE NO ONE WENT TO SEE????

  25. LTM September 16, 2012

    Why does Nicki look trashy and disgusting in every picture? She tries too hard to dress crazy like Kim and GaGa. She fails every time

  26. RG2 September 16, 2012

    I can’t even hate on Nicki cause this girl knows how to get her name out there and get that money. Endorsements and jobs comes with fame and popularity. SHE’S MAKING DEALS WHILE Y’ALL SIT @ HOME AND HATE. #GetALife.

  27. ThatGrapefruitJuice September 16, 2012

    Minaj look the misfit in the bunch there. She is the mismatched one. How many minutes of fame she got left?

    • msteefromdc September 17, 2012

      she on her last minute..that’s y she an american idol judge…that’s where they all go.

  28. Leepy-loop September 16, 2012

  30. Sleazy September 17, 2012

    Mariah carey looks old imo (she’s beautiful) but she just looks 40 like Take JLO that b**** looks 27 or something

    • JohnVidal(RIP Whitney-truegreat) September 17, 2012

      Hmmm… what´s wrong with looking 40 when you are 42??? She´s not a model anyway. And I pretty much think she looks younger than 40

  31. Todd September 17, 2012

    Yes!Mariah looks great!

  32. MaginaMonroe September 17, 2012

    PiggletRiah Whalefubbery looks better than That ghetto as blonde clone tho!

      every artist has a fanbase u idiot. Kim’s fans r just not bored and play on the internet all day. if you a fan go by her flop a$$ cd when it comes out again…and buy it again next year around this time..cuz i’m sure she’ll re-re-release it again in another year or so. Better yet…go have a seat in the so called arenas she sells out.lol nicki is wack get over it. she’s done!

  34. Realest September 17, 2012

    Nicki Minaj looks like the bird from “Chuck-E-Cheese”, and it fits her since she is a bird. #Fail But Mariah, of course, looks stunning and is SITTING on Nicki even being 12 years older. Just like in their video together
