@You think it but I’ll say it, Yeah maybe you haven’t been to a show then She incorporates Killer Dance Moves in her Check it Out/Where Dem Girls at Bit, Theatricality during Monster and in between all the songs, & Fan interaction so her Performances SLAY. Yall are probably judges off her 1st VMA performance which was horrible but she’s deaf doing way better now.

They need to get Beyonce in the mix with Gaga. If they perform Telephone live, people will lose their shit!

Imagine this: Pussy Wagon drives onto the stage. They both get out. They just stand motionless for a moment until crowd stops screaming. Then, “You’ve been a very bad girl, Gaga.” “MmmMmm, Honey Bey.” Instant world-wide heart attack. Volcanoes would erupt.

@AAA, Nicki has completely abandoned hip hop and went into pop.There a difference between crossing over and jumping ship and she has jumped ship and judging by her super-bass video her next album is going to be even more POP.You can keep supporting her if you want to Iam done with her fake @ss.

@Amanda, They can keep that wack shit she spits. She’s getting the shine she’s always wanted and that’s all good but im speaking just on music. I supported her underground shit and she gave us Pink Friday! #NEXT!!!!

@Amanda, Sooo is she Not Rapping in Super Bass ? I’m Pretty sure I heard as Many metaphors & Similies in Super Bass as I did in songs like “Work it” by Missy. @AAA has A point their not gonna say “Popstars, One Rapper, & R& B Singer & Country Singer” Pop is short for Popular and wraps its all in a Nut shell.

I don’t see how she’s a Pop star ? She’s only Sung on a Couple Records. All her singles “Your Love” “Massive Attack” “Moment 4 Life” “Super Bass” & “Did It On Em” Have Rapping on them which is what a Rapper usually does. If she’s getting critiqued for thinking outside of the Box Wayne should be called a “Rock star” since he had a Whole Rock Album & Kanye should be considered Techo since 808s & Heartbreaks was nothing but TECHNO but were those albums still classified as Rap ? YES. So its Ok Yall can Stay mad. Nicki’s Winning and thats all that Matters.
