NICKI MINAJ FIRED FROM AMERICAN IDOL

NewNickiminaj

NEW YORK — After just a few shows, Nicki Minaj has been fired as a judge on popular reality singing competition “American Idol.” From strange accents to bouts with fellow judge Mariah Carey, producers made the decision after a heated shouting match during the program’s latest stop.

“They just had it,” a source says. “They told her to pack her bags and head over to ‘America’s Got Talent.’”

Minaj made waves in entertainment news when she was first announced as a candidate for judge duties last year. Her flamboyant demeanor and rumored attitude had many thinking she just wouldn’t fit in to a show that’s supposed to about the contestants.

Tensions seemed to be brewing during the first few episodes, as well. As many cite issues between Minaj and Carey to be mutually instigated, those close to the show maintain that it came down to a choice between the two. And Carey’s veteran presence in the music industry seems to have contributed to her staying on rather than being the one to get the boot.

“If you ask me, Mariah is the one with the attitude,” said another source close to the show. “There was definitely a Team Nicki vs. Team Mariah kind of thing going on.”

Though many weren’t sure the pairing was going to last for the season, it appears the stint is even more short-lived than first thought. However, some don’t rule out a comeback for Minaj.

“Watch — I bet they get her back on for Hollywood Week,” said RandyJacksonFan34, a commenter on the popular “Idol” message board Idol Love.

  1. I am extremely inspired along with your writing skills as smartly as with the format for your blog. Is this a paid subject matter or did you customize it your self? Either way stay up the excellent quality writing, it’s uncommon to see a nice blog like this one today..

    We have been avid American Idol since the first season and have liked or even loved every judge on the show. Until now. We actually mute her comments now. She is totally inappropriate, unintelligent and offers nothing of value to the contestants. She speaks to them like they're kindergardeners and has the most annoying nasal voice I've ever heard! Please VOTE HER OFF and maintain the integrity of one of America's most respectable and highly rated shows.

    FUCKIN LIES!

  6. Matthew Petruolo says:

    "the only reliabe news" LMAO fail cause shes still on the show right now and may even be returning to season 13 HA.

  7. That shouldn't be a problem. In fact, it would even help bring the focus back to where it should be – finding the next potential star who'll soon be singing at some of the most historic venues around.

  8. This was a great adventure, thank you for sharing it with us!

  9. Sometimes I think she thinks that consistently acting blase' about EVERYTHING makes her cooler than everyone else. Yeah, okay Nicki – you're bored. We get it.

  10. American Idol is getting old. Beyond the first weeks of auditions, the show is pretty "Meh." It seems to only produce one-hit wonders 99% of the time anyway.

  11. Chris says:

    This show has run its course. Like all reality show like storage wars just get old after while. Now the voice it taking it to Idol.

  12. Chrissy says:

    Do we seriously have to finish the season with her? She is horrible! She is nasty to everyone, trying to prove why she is so amazing I'd guess – she is a no talent, tasteless idiot – why oh why was she hired in the first place?

  13. Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem to grasp so much approximately this, like you wrote the e-book in it or something. I believe that you simply could do with a few % to drive the message home a little bit, however other than that, that is excellent blog. A fantastic read. I’ll certainly be back.

    I am just sick of the negative comments this year on american idol! I have watched every year and i think this will be the last! The worst judges, where did they dig these people up! They have done nothing but dog these kids since the start. It is no secret who they want to win. Thank goodness it is not their choice. They need to take a look at the voice, good humor, just an all around great show! Sorry American Idol you have just dropped to the lowest!!!!!!

  15. I sometimes love Nicki's opinion. Let's see what will AI next season has to offer.

  16. Aubrey says:

    NIKI and That other bafat balloon titted airhead should not be on American idol. I laugh my head off because Niki looks like an ALBINO with DOWN SYNDROME Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  17. I would love to have JLo back on the next season. I really love her as a judge.

  18. That chick makes me puke. I don't know who lied to her that she's got talent. This planet is about to EXPLODE!

  19. Renrev says:

    I can't believe AI is still on the air.

    lose weight in 2 weeks

    I think Nikki brought an edge to the show, fo sho.

  20. Joshua says:

    Nikki should stay, that’s to have a twist on the judging process a younger more pop oriented one

  21. Oioi says:

    It's unbelievable anyone has elevated this pathetic excuse for a woman/judge/human to the level where she actually has a following and has had any degree of success from whatever she did before she poisoned AI fully and completely. What a stupid-looking, babbling nitwit with that ridiculous speech, hair, moronic comments, nastiness, etc. . . . Want to know what I really think of her? haha. What a sad day for American "talent" shows – let AI die a shame death and pray Nicki Minaj oozes back into the swamp from whence she emerged.

  22. Anthony says:

    She will definably find another job.
