    1. How terrible she cant sing and only been around a minute they just care about viewers and are gonna have her wearing more silly outfits

    2. No talent tryin to determine talent. What the fuck this bitch is garbage and American idol is irrelevant.

      Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    3. Nicki, Mariah and Randy Jackson? Black people are winning. The era of the “token black” is over.

      YMCMB AND CORTEZ BRYANT AS MANAGER IS TAKING OVER THE GAME THE BRAND CONTINUES TO GROW

      1. Bitch, American Idol is a sinking ship. Why do you think Paula, Simon, J-Lo, Steven, and Randy left? The ratings are getting lower by the seasons. They might as well end the show while they still can.

    5. -____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________- SMH this BETTER fuckin be a troll post!!!

    6. Nicki Minaj’s face in that picture is priceless. That was probably the face she made when she’s confirmed as an AI judge

    7. Nicki is the Lauryn Hill of this millenium. All the real nuccas already copped her last album, and are enjoying it all the time. I can see them even now.

      1. Well, I guess if all the “real nuccas” are listening to nikki minaj, then I must be the fakest “nucca” alive because I would rather listen to an alley cat giving birth than any song she has ever made.

    8. Can’t wait until she tries to say somebody can’t sing…

      If your going to be a judge shouldn’t you be in a position TO judge instead of what’s just popular right now?

    9. Don’t you have to be a has been to be a judge ?

      Im Saying she still got a bit of juice in her. At least 2 more albums of this bullshit

    10. Please tell me this is just a rumor. Otherwise, the people at American Idol are stupid as hell. This is obviously a desperate move because of the low ratings and all of their judges left. Nicki has no talent at all, so she shouldn’t be a judge of a TALENT show. Like someone said earlier, they should just end American Idol right now because it’s a sinking ship.

      1. I would settle for Adele because, unlike these other bitches, she can actually sing. But I co-sign what you’re trying to say.

      2. Sorry if you took my comment the wrong way. What I meant to say was that for every good singer like Adele or Mariah Carey (even Demi Lovato right now), there comes shit like Britney Spears or Nicki Minaj. Maybe Soulja Boy was far fetched but maybe after Adele is signed, Kesha comes along for the ride as well.

    11. They really couldn’t get someone better to judge this? Haven’t they considered winners of previous american idols to be judges?

      1. Exactly. Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, even fucking Adam Lambert are more qualified than Nicki. They would do better jobs at it than her.

    12. “They really couldn’t get someone better to judge this”

      The point is to have big name judges attract viewers.

      1. They tried that shit with J-Lo, but the ratings were still low. What makes you really think it’ll work with Nicki?

    13. “Reportedly Confirmed”? AHHHAHA what an oxymoron. What kind of reporting is that? Wow, you guys really cracked the case here.

    14. She isn’t a singer and she hasn’t been in the industry long enough to qualify as a judge for such a competition.

    15. She’s not a fricken singer, and she has no talent! So what exactly is she judging? People aren’t having sex and doing makeup on stage!

    16. Who dat Who dat!?
      Sippin on X to tha O wit da khakis Creased.
      Somebody needa smacc dis HO up on da fa rilla!
      It’s WEST SIDE on mine, all day err day, don’t get it twisted.

    17. I find it funny how someone with zero talent whatsoever will be able to judge other talent… Just saying.

    18. but the ratings were still low. What makes you really think it’ll work with Nicki?

      20 million people watched the finale last season. If that’s considered low, then what’s considered high? lol J Lo is old hat now. Bringing in NM might attract younger viewers which is what they want.

      1. Dude. American Idol is a sinking ship. The ratings overall are still low compared to earlier seasons. Bringing Nicki in won’t help.

      2. Finales always get the most ratings of a season. That’s TV logic, dumbass. Besides, if you look at the entire seasons ratings, they’re in the crapper. Since all their popular judges are gone, this is just a desperate act.

    19. Why do people still think this is about talent, its about ratings. The more viewers the more money very simple business. Talent in this case has nothing to do with it even though that is the cover for whats really going on.

    20. While y’all hate on Nicki Minaj and her talents with these comments, she continues to WIN and do major things in her music career. That’s all i can say.

    21. Nicki Minaj is one if not THE best female MC that has been gotten in the rap game. YMCMB gots the best rappers in the rap game. YMCMB is an Empire and Weezy F. Baby is KIGN of HIP HOP

      YMCMB

    22. Nicki Minaj is a sellout. I though she was a good rapper but then she made terrible pop songs like Starships. She then went to do Ice Age (lame) and you can hear Starships in Oogieloves trailer.
