I just think nicki minaj need to give up the Barbie act bitch needs to wear real hair and clothes that shit aint hood

[ShelliKittens]

Nicki's hood rat act laced with overly sickeningly sweet treatment of her idol favorites has gagged me for the last time. She didn't have any business being a judge in the first place. That chick can't sing.. oh sure, her video's are interesting, I can't name one song of hers though, I just watched to see the whacky guys with the very flexible bodies in one of her video's. Remember your roots Nicki, back when people respected you? I read about it.. wonder what happened to you? .

You all know what?

Before that audition started mariah had called nicki a bitch!

During that audition mariah always interposed while nicki minaj talkin' because she thought that she was a diva and she could do whatever!

Mariah carey is a diva, a legend i can say

But she shouldn't have to been disrespectful.

[MadeExcellence]

I agree, "the real question is why is nicki a judge?"

[Crazyfor2PM]

the real question is why is nicki a judge?

[Joshua Jolly]

Poor Keith Urban in the middle just thinking... wtf did I get myself in to....

[Crestial Wintersmith]

I used to respect Mariah, but after seeing her diss on ms Minaj, I feel I finally see her real self. Mariah is so fake, she act so gracefully while the same time so mean. I'm sure you all see ms Minaj as a bad person here well at least she's not fake. Imaging AI put you and Mariah together on the show then she hate you for no reason, will you like it? Of course not! Yes, everyone know that Mariah sing better than Minaj but that doesn't mean Nicki can't sing, everyone can sing.

i think everyone needs to shut the fuck up. this is all you see. you don't know everything about the feud. after doing research, i learned that mariah told people she didn't want nicki on the show. so nicki just acted crazier because she felt like mariah, someone she looked up to highly, did not like her. and if you watch the show and dont automatically love mariah, you will see the little comments mariah makes that caused the feud in the first place. simmer down sirs.
