(CelebNMusic247) Mariah Carey Addresses Nicki Minaj Beef Rumors on ‘American Idol‘ :
After rumors surface in regard to the first episode of AI being taped and MiMi and Nicki already bumping heads, Mariah has decided to clear the air and set the record straight.
In regards to the rumored tension between Mariah and her “American Idol” judge Nicki Minaj, she had this to say:
“How are we gonna feud in two days? A feud takes a little longer to spread out [than that]?” [Laughing]
“It’s fun, its music, it’s singing, it’s laughter,” she added, while Minaj chuckled along with her, looking amused at the beef rumors.
While TMZ reported that there was RUMORED tension boiling heated up across the Internet at the start of the week.
Carey and Nicki Minaj went at it during the first “A.I.” taping Sunday in NYC. When Nicki started critiquing a contestant, Mariah would interrupt — not once, but many times. Each time Mariah interrupted, Nicki fought back by loudly talking over Mariah.
One “A.I.” spy said Mariah and Nicki tried to cover their disdain for each other but everyone saw through it, adding, “These girls just don’t like each other.”
Well it seems American Idol is trying to get a buzz going so they can compete with The Voice and X-Factor.
Recently Nicki Minaj was officially added to “American Idol” in hopes to generate a younger audience of Barbz to follow their Queen on Idol:
The 12th season of American Idol will feature a new judge, Hip Hop/Pop Hyper-Star “Nicki Minaj“. The announcement was made today(Sept. 16).
On this years A. I. panel expect to watch Nicki Minaj, country singer Keith Urban, Randy Jackson and Mariah Carey. Ryan Seacrest will also be back as host. FOX stated that Randy would be back amidst rumors of Jackson leaving the show. We’ve known about Mariah being on the judges panel since June. Keith Urban was asked earlier this month about the rumors of him judging the show and he said that he would love to do it. He said that he was into it for the mentoring aspect. Now, Urban will definitely be a judge on Idol.
Filming began Sept 16 as the first auditions took place in New York City. Further auditions will also take place in Charlotte, Oklahoma City, Los Angeles, Baton Rouge and San Antonio. American Idol airs in January on FOX. – WorldSwagg
Personally, This may be an interesting year for Idol, but let’s be honest there are better singing competition shows to watch and A. I. is on its way out. There hasn’t been a talent like Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood for a long while. And the two outstanding stars who didn’t make it are still going strong and that’s Jennifer Hudson and Daughtry.
As for Fantasia, she lost herself and her career being in love with a man who cheated on her. She is an amazing singer, but she lacks the focus and drive that Clarkson and Underwood attain.
Then there is Clay Aiken…need I say anymore. And Ruben Studdard who went gospel R&B, but never grabbed any attention, although I heard his latest album was amazing, because it’s all about his broken heart. You know they say troubled times is the best time to write hit songs.
With that said we’ll keep our money on The Voice, but we’ll check out MiMi and Nicki for a minute or two.
Will you?
