VIDEO: NICKI MINAJ GRAMMY PERFORMANCE DEBACLE 2012 / NICKI DEFENDS THE MESS

Hahahahahahahaha  – I still cannot get over just how BAD this performance was. A delusional Nicki called in to the Ryan Seacrest yesterday and said, “The Grammys chose ‘Roman Holiday,’” she explained, contradicting statements  made by Recording Academy producer Ken Ehrlich. “The producers of the Grammys came to the studio and I played them  ‘Roman Holiday,’ and I could not play them another record after they heard  that. “They went crazy. I could have chosen to do a no-brainer pop song, but I  can’t do []

VIDEO: CHAKA KHAN TALKS TO PIERS MORGAN ABOUT WHITNEY HOUSTON’S DEATH AND CLIVE DAVIS’ DECISION TO STILL HOST PARTY

… I am with Chaka Khan on this one. It was “insanity”. Clive Davis should have cancelled the party. His decision to still go ahead with the party was disappointing not to mention inappropriate and morbid. Kelly Osbourne was invited to the party but when it was announced that Whitney had died she said she was staying home, as it would be inappropriate to attend.

THE GRAMMY AWARDS 2012 – NICKI MINAJ PERFORMANCE (AWFUL)

You know when an artists goes out of his/her way to do something unique and different but just ends up looking and sounding bloody stupid…. yeah…… … Why didn’t members from her team sit her down and tell her the truth about this performance during rehearsals? Why didn’t anyone say ‘look you’re going to make a complete fool of yourself if you go ahead with this performance’? Nicki is a woman who clearly surrounds herself with sycophants and “yes” people.
