Nicki Minaj: American Idol's savior?
|  | | Nicki Minaj | | Nicki Minaj thinks she's the only one who can save American Idol. The rapper believes she'll be able to make the 12-year-old show a success again fter it hit a shocking all-time ratings low in late March. Nicki blames her fellow judges - Mariah Carey, Keith Urban and Randy Jackson - for making the FOX series tired and boring.
"Nicki believes she's the one carrying the show," a source said. "She's had enough of the fans' online hatred because she feels she's the only one who is at least trying to make the show more interesting. Off-camera Nicki doesn't pull any punches. She believes Mariah sends viewers to sleep with her dialed-back performances, and she says, Keith sits on the fence far too often and gives half-hearted compliments to practically every contestant. As for Randy - Nicki says he's the same old Randy."
"Nicki also thinks that Keith is too concerned about his public image to be brutally honest with contestants, and that after 11 years Randy's 'dawg' shtick is just plain worn out. Besides the zany outfits and her big personality, she's constantly thinking about ways to make the show more edgy. Idol fans who despise feisty Nicki have launched a Facebook page dedicated to giving her the boot - but even that will help the show."
"Nicki is the only one people are talking about. You never hear anything about Randy, Keith or Mariah because there is nothing interesting to say. The producers need to put more caffeine in their drinks to pep them up. Nicki may be the most hated judge on Idol, but she's still the show's standout star - and right now they need all the publicity they can get." (Showbiz Spy)
