While our consensus is mostly that we didn’t like Minaj as a judge and thought Urban may have been the 10th country star asked, we didn’t really expect Mimi and Minaj to get so crazy with each other so early. Mariah is obviously the star of the show, much like J. Lo was last year, and Minaj is going to play second fiddle to her all year long.
Celebrity pop-gossip site TMZ has been posting about the Minaj/Carey relationship and while there have been predictable bumps in the roads, it finally hit a climax yesterday during a taping of the auditions for the new season.
TMZ posted the video below which shows Minaj going buck wild at Carey.

One can only imagine how Fox will pimp this come January. Can Mimi and Minaj co-exist? Are either of them sane enough to last for the entire season? And if not, who is waiting in the wings? Lauryn Hill must be sitting by her phone waiting for a call. No one can out-crazy Lauryn.
Update:
My friend Jakey reminded me of this video. Yes, Mimi and Minaj on a song together exists.

Wow, that djdn’t take long to start happening. I’m not sure which I’d find more annoying-the idea that they’re actually fighting (’cause god forbid women work together on TV without having to start catfights!), or that this was all staged to try and drum up more publicity, given they sang a song together and seemed to get on okay there.
Either way, if this is what we get to look forward to on the new season of “Idol”, that doesn’t sound promising to me at all.

Hey Angela,
I think you bring up the two big points. I wonder if Nicki has an issue with the fact that Mariah is just the bigger star (and probably the bigger diva). Nicki is definitely the second wheel when it comes to the female judges.
If it was just to drum up publicity, I’m fine with that. Nicki’s a damn good actor too if that’s the case.
I am looking forward to the season, but more so because I like the show. And I love Mariah. But it’s going to be nothing short of a weird judging crew.

I knew that when Mariah and Nicki were confirmed as judges that it was gonna be framed a certain way-and I’d be very surprised if this wasn’t completely staged. Mariah and Nicki are both better than that. Not that I was really intending on watching anyway, but this sort of puts the nail in the coffin for me.

I think it’s totally plausible that they may not get along all the time. The fact that someone had a camera right there is what makes it sketchy. And to be fair to Mimi, she kept her cool, but she was probably big-timing Nicki a little bit.
