I LOVE YOU NICKI.. but, “Right Thru Me” ain’t a song you need to be performing live! It’s so slow and you can never hit the high note at the end. Don’t get me wrong, this is a huge improvement from the Wendy Williams performance. You’re moving alot more and you seem more lively. But I still wish she would move around the stage more and not stand in one spot. I know it’s a slow song but I want to see a little more fire coming from her.

This performance was raw like i love it & just right. Peopel get it twisted thinking movement is stage presence. Emotion is too. This song don’t need a bunch of dancing and moving around. Kill em Nicki.

yikes @ right thru me

near the end when she said “you see riiiiiiight”, sounded MAD flat =/

Moment 4 life was ok, I wish she had more songs where she didn’t sing on the hooks, cause when she performs em they don’t sound as good. Like Did It On Em, no singing & it was one of the best on the album.

I’ve been indecisive about Nicki Minaj sometimes leaning towards fan, sometimes toward hater, but she kinda won me over after her contributions to snl 2nite

The note at the end she just sounded un confident but other than that it was a bulleye. She had been sick earlier this week. I heard her nail that note before so I know she can do it. The performance was still filled with the raw edge I love. Gritty and fun. Nicki was built for this. Fuck those who don’t agree.

The mere fact that she has a career gives me pause. She makes funny faces and she’s a sex pot. Great talent!

I’m sick of Right Thru Me, she should’ve did Roman’s Revenge and Moment 4 Life instead. The Moment 4 Life performance was good, but when you take Drake;s part out, it’s literally Nicki saying “Moment 4 Life” for 2 minutes straight. That’s what I dislike about the album too, most of the hooks are just the same phrase repeated over and over, although it works in some tracks. “How do you do that shit how do you do that shit” is not one of them. Lol. Sorry for ranting, but other than that I love Nicki and glad she got this gig.

Her musical performances were okay, but the Bride of Frakenstine skit she was in was waaaay exploitive. It exploited Black people & fed into stereotypes. But what else can u expect from SNL which is a pretty racist show (thats even one of the reasons cited by mya rudolph for why she quit) Like Kanye West said, “F-ck SNL and the whole cast.Tell ‘em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass.”
