Mariah delivers HILARIOUSLY sharp shade to Nicki on Idol!

[Unbreakable.]

Lmaooooooooo she's calling Mariah immature when she's the one on Twitter writing a whole narrative essay about why she's mad. Girl bye!

It's like, just take the shade and move along. I didn't see Mariah on Twitter ranting when Nicki called her "sir". She frustrates me.

[RedSimba]

It's not the same anyway ~ 80% of Nicki's hot 100 entries were features ~ heck, her first one was with MC lol

[TwistedElegance™]

Queen'd.

[TwistedElegance™]

@NICKIMINAJ All dem #1s but JLo phone ringin? Lol. I guess having a personality, being a secure woman, and giving genuine critique still trumps that.

Wow.

[JoeJoe]

Damn that was shady right here too

Nicki Minaj ‏@NICKIMINAJ9h

What u SHOULD be doing (wit your messy ass) is asking why a woman SO successful at her age, is still so INSECURE, and bitter @perezhilton

[Aquaria]

Mariah delivers lethal shade effortlessly and so sly you might miss it, and Nicki is TYPING in ALL CAPS on twitter after the fact.

End.

Right? You can tell she stewed on this all night and is now tweeting the things she wasn't quick-witted enough to say in the moment.

[Escapade]

Exactly! That's how you know Mariah's shade is lethal! 10 hours later Nicki is still fuming!

[cheaps]

Are these even correct? I'm not tryna talk shit (I am a Mariah fan) but, Mariah has not won more MTV awards than Janet, I never seen Mariah accept an MTV award (even be nominated, to my recalling), and I have speculations about the # AMA;s, Soul Train and BET awards.

As far as Nicki, I don't know much, hell anything, about her, but are all the awards for AMA's and Billboard, hell, even BET & BET Hip Hop awards correct for her also?

Ok,thanks.. I almost wanted to question the number of Billboard Awards also, but I know she's had way too much success on the Billboard Charts...

[TwistedElegance™]

I remember watching the making-of Mariah's 'Heartbreaker' video and her saying' "Can I pleeease get a freakin' MTV Video Music Award for this?"

But what Minaj lacks compared the rappers you listed (besides talent & originality) is they are full on & hardcore and authentic rappers (all of whom have #1's & numerous awards) Minaj is a rapper pop singer, so she's aiming for pop #1's more so than all of those rappers, and it's the pop field that makes her failures comparable to Mariah's Triumphs.

Game, Nicki was the one who compared herself to Mariah first! The Lambs are just completing the job.

[bu.]

Nicki must be real secure with herself - that's why she takes to Twitter and once again shows herself to be the bitter one whilst Mariah is somewhere in Mimi land with dembabies, datpayrolldude and a hello Kitty popsicle with absolutely no fucks to give.

[hotboy06]

Poor Siamese cat.

[Kishi]

It was cute, but it wasn't LETHAL shade. Nicki and Mariah both have done much worse and funnier.

Nicki is very talented. How many rappers can actually obtain a crossover appeal? Zero

Her lyrics are very original..

She's a rapper.. Not a pop sensation.. Just bc she makes pop music doesn't automatically gets her compared to a pop legend

FUTURE v. Usher!!!

Access Hollywood reporter Laura Saltman tells, American Idol: The Trouble With Nicki Minaj

For 11 seasons, “American Idol” reigned supreme on television but they have not been without their missteps – the Corey Clarke/Paula Abdul debacle, Ellen DeGeneres’ odd one season stint, Kara DioGuardi’s ouster from the show, allegations of phone line hacking and power voting.

However, nothing has quite rattled the show like the addition of judge Nicki Minaj for Season 12.

What started as an innocent PR move (likely released by someone within the “Idol” camp) to get some publicity for the aging show, the Mariah Carey/Nicki fight tape released during the auditions has instead turned into a nightmare for “Idol.” This misfire affected the entire season of the show, not because it was wrong to release it, but because the two women involved could never move past their anger toward one another.

The fact is, if Nicki and Mariah had kissed and made up, the whole thing would have blown over and the desired effect of the added publicity would have most likely made people interested in the show. Instead of moving on and having a great foursome, the tension between the two ladies drove a wedge between the entire judging panel and set up a season of uncomfortable, cringe-worthy moments.

Despite the fact that most of the time Nicki actually does give good critiques, the show didn’t’ need Nicki. Randy Jackson on the left side. Mariah in the middle. Keith Urban on the right side. That’s a panel that would have worked. Randy and Mariah have a long standing relationship and Keith is so kind-hearted, there would have been a good chemistry set up between the three. If “The Voice” has taught us anything, it’s that reality competition shows have evolved. Cutting people down isn’t what audiences are connecting to anymore. Nicki’s special brand of snark may no longer fit in the world of reality TV mentors.

Ever since Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe commented that the ratings decline certainly had to do with the lack of chemistry with the judges, the situation took a turn for the worse. Up until that point, the ladies simply ignored each other or rolled their eyes when they disagreed while the other talked. It was clear after Nigel’s comments came out, someone told the panel they needed to interact more. Another misfire.

Nicki and Mariah’s not-so-charming banter has included Nicki calling Mariah “sir” two weeks ago after a spat and Wednesday night referring to her as “Honey Boo Boo” as a final slam. For the record, Mariah never heard Nicki’s “sir” comment until after the show aired. When asked about it backstage, she wanted to respond but her publicist smartly told her not too. You see, Mariah is a professional who understands her reputation is everything. She has class. Nicki is another story.

In my 20 years in entertainment news, I have interviewed close to 5,000 celebrities — people who have bigger bragging rights than Nicki. Men and women who have Oscars , Grammys and Emmys. Yet, by far, she is the most ungracious of anyone I have met.

Each week, she comes backstage for interviews and we are told “two questions only” while her people hover over you and even, at times, have their hand on your arm as you end your interview to make you stop. Waiver from the two-question rule and Nicki herself will walk away. She makes zero eye contact and has no connection to whomever is interviewing her. If she likes your question, she may give you a proper answer. If she doesn’t, she may give you a dirty look and walk off. After she posted mean comments about Mariah on Twitter yesterday calling her “bitter” and “insecure,” I wanted to give her the opportunity to redeem herself or perhaps apologize. I phrased my question that her comments had caused quite a stir online and asked if she had anything to say about it. She looked at me and told me my question made no sense and when I tried to explain it further she just said “goodnight” and walked off in a huff.

In my 12 years covering “Idol,” I have never seen someone with such a disconnect to the media.

Mariah may have her quirks, but she is always very gracious in her answers and perfectly willing to poke fun at herself. Simon Cowell sure knows how to sling a good insult on stage, but backstage during his tenure with the show, he was always funny and charming. Randy is a master deflector when it comes to questions about any strife within the show but he will always give you an answer with a smile and a laugh. Even Paula Abdul — who had her share of controversial moments during her time on “Idol” — knew how to face the tough questions. Jennifer Lopez went through a divorce during her time on the show and started dating a much younger man, Casper Smart, yet managed to smartly massage her answers about her personal life so she answered them, but not really. That’s the mark of a true professional. In the world of celebrity, especially right now, this is part of the job. Poor Reese Witherspoon knows this all too well right now.

Nicki’s comments yesterday on Twitter show who she really is – a mean girl, a cyber-bully who is just perpetuating the problems of social media. When will society finally take a stand and say ‘Enough!’ with all of the hateful, spiteful things people say about each other? We are more connected than ever online but more willing to hide behind our anonymous avatars and be nasty to people we barely know. As a celebrity, I would hope that Nicki would understand her fans look to her as a role model and she should choose her words more wisely. From what I have seen of her behavior since “Idol” began, I’m not sure she is capable of this. She’s a female rapper who should be proud of her accomplishments as a woman not cutting other women down.

The truth is that 20 years from now, Mariah Carey will still be known as one of the best female vocalists of all time. Nicki Minaj – well, I will let you decide that.

I agree with Game on this one. Nicki is a very talented rapper. Don't let her stupid voices she does when rapping make you think otherwise. Y'all should hear some of her work before she became as big as she is and you'll have a different opinion. Does she get annoying? Yes but it still doesn't take away her talent. I don't see another female rapper that is coming for her wig/crown. She's solo with all these other male rappers out here and she's outselling them too. Other than Drake, Wayne, and Kanye who all of them has worked with her who else can come for her?

It's a woman, and nobody is getting a juicy interview asking two questions. Nicki went public with her comments about Mariah, therefore any journalist has the right to expand on that.

Picking and choosing when to act like she's above such nonsense. FAIL.
