Well, I think the headline is misleading. They said the "judge that backed her", but I think all the judges really liked her.  And Candice said "She (Minaj) reminded me to not be a diva. She always tells me to have fun and be myself ... I love Nicki and hope I can collaborate with her."   Candice only said that Nicki t...more

While I agree about Mariah, and I think Nicki does seem to be herself no matter what,  (hence the weird hair and clothes), Nicki also used to sit there and play with her hair, etc.  They are both divas.  I think the difference is Nicki does tell it like she sees it.  However, you lost me on talent. I never listened to ...more

Randy says that about everybody, when they do a song that just kills it. I don't read anything into Randy.  However, I think Nicki really Kree also and wanted her to do well instead of holding back (which she did).  I also think they all built up Amber to win, but the voters didn't agree.  It was really up in the air o...more

Wow. I agree with you all the way.  I really liked Kree.  I respect her for the great vocalist she is (for country).  But she couldn't do anything without it making it sound like country. I really liked when they had the genres in the past (and included country) that people like Carrie sang the songs the way it should ...more

Talk about being biased.

While I agree about Minaj, wrong about Candice.  She did not always have backup singers, and many of them did also, including Angie and Kree.  However, if you don't recall her last version of I Who Have Nothing, she changed it up and started it not only solo, but with no music and it was AWESOME!  She is great.

I didn't watch the show, but watched this video clip and I found it adorable  Obviously you could tell it was a script, but at the end, he clearly whispered to her and she said "I love you too" and that was unscripted.  Very cute!  I thought it was a good script.

I like the writers suggestions, with one change.  I loved Keith on there.  He was good and gave some very constructive criticism, in a nice way, once he got the hang of it.  He knows music.  Jimmy would be good.  I think he is certainly capable and seems to be fair (for the most part, that woud remain to be seen).  And...more

But that's why we all have opinions.  I personally think Angie sounds like all other "pop" stars today, but she needs a little work (but they all do).  I also thought that Candice was the only one who sounded "different", and by that I mean, not Country, not Pop, more R&B.  For me personally,  I would like to hear more...more
