Nicki, first you show up late on Wednesday night, INCREDIBLY RUDE and disrespectful of the contestants and producers. Then you pull this little drama queen stunt tonight. I respect your talent but you’re wearing me out fast on Idol. Get it together or get out.

I am a huge Nicki fan, and I agree with mostly everything you said. I think her saying what she said puts her in a bad place and people are going to take that and run and talk smack about her.

i hope she keeps her word and leaves honestly.

Jorge, me too. I love Nicki as a performer and artist. I love her look. She has been so disappointing as an Idol judge. She’s getting paid $12 million. She knows it’s a LIVE show, she needs to leave early enough to get there on time. She seems like she’s run out of things to say. American Idol’s ratings are in the tank, they are awful this year. Everyone is going to tune in to The Voice starting in two weeks and it will get even worse. Nicki is going to take the blame for it.

Shows like this let the world see how devided we are as a people. This was not about talent, it is about voting for people that we feel comfortable being around. In fact, shows like this makes it difficult for us to love each other. It opens up old wounds and keeps reminding us that race always comes first for many Americans. No matter what you do America, Curtis Finch’s has a gift from God for the world. Don’t just throw it away because it comes from someone who is different.

Umm Devin is Latino. He also has great talent.

I”m afraid Idol has jumped the shark, they picked the contestants! So what do they expect with some lackluster performance. Not to mention they speed the rounds by eliminating 10 a week prior! How do you know they won’t do well this week rather than last week. Nicki doesn’t know how to judge, she’s basing things more on performance than singing ability. Mariah talks too much of herself and just talks too nice. I can’t wait for the voice, and xfactor, american idol is no longer that great to watch. For this week, they picked boring songs, nothing really eye catching other than perhaps 2.

I am a little surprised about Curtis Finch earning the lowest amount of votes. I guess this all fits with Idol’s decision to crown a girl the winner. We all know it’s not about singing, I like Nicki’s energy especially compared to Mariah’s, but still though learn to get to work on time. This isn’t a bar or restaurant where you find someone to cover for you, this is $12 Million dollars going in your pocket, people expect you to be there. And it wouldn’t hurt to apologize to your fans either.

We’ll miss you Curtis….you’re great! Nicki Minaj CAN LEAVE ANY TIME!!!! She’s degrading the show Nigel!!!!!! Get her out of there….now!!!!!

Joke or not. She is getting paid by Idol. being late for work is unprofessional

Nikki leave you disrespected the poor other
Contestant who was in the bottom 2

I’m really not into Idol this year. No one stands out to me and it’s BORING!!! The best thing about the show is Niki’s outlandish personality.

Something needs to be done with AI. It’s obvious the show is sinking year by year.

It is so sad to see American Idol going down the tubes. I watched it last year and when Jessica Sanchez lost I couldn’t believe it. But this year is even worse, too much Ryan Seacrest, the format sucks and Nicki is beyond tacky. Mariah is classy, but what can she do about this show being so poorly put together? I love Randy and Keith, but who in the world put this show together this year. People are right when they say since Simon Cowell left it has gone down hill. Simon would have never let this format happen.

I’m a bit surprised with Nicki Minaj reaction to Curtis Finch
Jr. being eliminated and I felt the same. I was almost ready to say I’m done I
thought he would be one of the last to be eliminated. I love to catch American
Idol with my wife, but I work evenings at DISH so it can be hard to get shows. It
used to be hard to get all my shows with just a few DVRs and lots of shows and
annoying timer conflicts. I don’t have
to worry about that anymore after I upgraded to the awesome DISH Hopper DVR. I
can get all my primetime shows recorded with this cool feature called PrimeTime
Anytime. Once this has been enabled I can get the 4 major networks recorded
during primetime hours on one TV. I don’t have timer issues on my primetime
channels anymore and it’s enhanced my TV experience.

I really can’t stand her on AI, she is obnoxious. I don’t get why they need 4 judges. She ruins the show, and I really don’t watch regularly because of her.

What Low Class! degrading the show.

i personally think this has to go one way! A senior in the industry has to know by now the method to slowing down the newbies to the industry. It’s an adult to a kid circumstance. Someone who goes that hard is trying to pull a Ja-rule, 50 cent. You won’t take my career because your hungry. This would play out till that child go sat down! It’s really dramatic and dull!

um… Mariah was late to the auditions. Keith also left like 2 times to do a show during auditions. Why arent people attacking them? It doesnt matter if it’s a live show or not. It is live when they record it at the auditions. It’s basically the same thing if you look at it from another perspective. They cant wait for the judges to arrive (if theyre late) on the days they’re recording. Please continue your pity party elsewhere.

Thursday night’s ratings were 11 million people, lower than both airings of “The Voice” and even “Dancing With The Stars” this week. The ratings have been declining every week. Variety Magazine believes the ratings “have not yet hit bottom.” When this is your number one show on your network, it’s time for Fox to get very worried.
