“Singer” Nicki Minaj chats it up host Jay Leno during the taping of the “Tonight Show” on Friday the 13th. The 29 year-old spoke about her old job at Red Lobster and her voice work for the latest Ice Age move. Following the interview, Nicki performed her new single, “Pound the Alarm” and the performance was in normal Nicki fashion, MEDIOCRE – but hey she’s getting money right? Riiight.

Loved it., soooooo cute. Keep living your dreams Nicki!
If her dream was to become a cartoonish, puppet of the entertainment industry-then, yes-she’s a wild success.
And if your dream was to be a hater you sure succeeded at that.. Shout out to Nicki, keep doin ya thing ma
i loved her performance. i thought it was fun, colorful and it made me look forward to the video for pound the alarm. i thought her interview was funny and very entertaining. i really didnt see anything mediocre or lackluster about her performance. it was fun to watch.
You watch people perform for fun? I thought we watch performances to actually see a good performance.
@bitch_please, if you actually read my comment and were able to understand the english language, you would know that i thought this was a VERY good performance. you might not have liked it, but i did.
I count 3 wardrobe malfunctions lol but I think she was cute. I’m also looking forward to her new video for Pound the Alarm
LMAO@ this ridiculous joke of a human being!!!
U feel better about yourself now?..
I watched it. It was good. It’s kind of hard not to like her, even though I find some things about her and some records so very over-the-top. She seems like a cool person, and I liked her performance on the show a lot. Great energy!
honest comment. Nicki is winning and she’s enjoying life. Living her dreams and experiencing things she never could have imagined? isn’t that what life’s about? it’s always good to see people living and loving life.
Lool @ 11:20 – 11:32.
The interview wasn’t bad but the performance was whack .. and she looks horrible, her face is messed up and the lacefront is ugly.
Garbage – when do she rap
she doesnt really rap on that song…! Prendie la tua VITA!
That was one of her best performances in my book. It was energetic and fun. Her interview was pretty good. She does seem like a cool person to be around. Hope she keeps it going and not try to be someone else.
She is too cute! Nice performance and interview.
Was that both nipple exposure deliberate? I think not! She had those pasties out the whole time! Not to mention major camel-toe!!! YIKES! I love her but someone should have said sth. The song sounds a lot like starships . she seemed to be having fun with it but i bet you she’s gonna be horrified at the wardrobe mal-fucktions when she looks back at this
The real talent in this performance is the blonde backup dancer Sara Bivens! That little lady is one dynamic firecracker of a dancer! Love love love the way she moves it! Nicki 15 minutes are almost up. Way to go Sara! You killed it!!!
I like Nicki, Good Performance. Am I the only one that notices…Nicki and Jay Leno’s noses are similiar?
I almost lost respect for Angel and this entire blog for throwing shade at Nicki. Her performances are usually mediocre, but this performance in particular is a improvement in my eyes.
ConcreteLoop is SOOOOO fake!!! When her album came out, yall had her links in the background of your page, but everytime yall comment on her, yall use quotations and side eye her everytime. Dont pick and choose when u want to support her…if u dislike her Mon-Fri then Sat and Sun should be no different!!!!
I agree with you…
i mean hey thats up to nicki team to know who really don’t fuck with her shit if u gon pay me to post yo bs yea i will doesn’t mean I like it hell angel got bills too
What’s up with her voice? I have alwyas wonder if that was her real voice….maybe I’m not use to her accent
Am I sensing shade coming from Angel? LOL
Lil’ kimb1999 and forward
Waste of air time… WHERE IS THE REAL TALENT??? NICKI IS WACK!!!!
The interview was more entertaining than the performance. She sucks in my book. #MissyBacktho
“Singer”….really?
lololol, you know what? Shes a pretty girl, but all that makes up and that lace front was not okay. BUT, she’s a total sweetheart.
This puppet sucks! I wish she exits stage left alreaddddddddy!
Looking a damn mess every single day with her dumb @ss
The interview was good. She’s not a good performer unless she’s rapping-rapping and not the pop stuff. What was up with the dress? Clearly the 4th or 5th gold rivet going down the front middle popped off. Mess.
WTF! did I just watch?
You know what, people love to hate this young lady, but truth be told, we haven’t had a female hip hop star besides Missy in a long while. People don’t want to admitt it, but we need her to win so other female hip hop artists can. You may not like her style or music but she’s winning and that means record lables can start to see value in female hip hop artists again. They don’t all have to be Nicki Minaj’s and I don’t want them too, but it’s good to see a female hip hop artist on the charts with hits. She’s opening the door for other females and that’s a good thing. Continued success Nicki.
right!
Umm really we need more NIKKI MINAJ’S out here. Look what her name stands for. Not only that her alter ego is Roman Polanski. WTF! I will never support that mess. I’m sorry yes she is making her money but believe me it’s not the way she wanted it. Hip Hop she is not and I really wish people would stoping saying her name when mentioning it. I’m sure everyone on this site is grown and knows what real hip hop is. Wow the people that you guys support…. And the first thing people say is oh but she’s making money and your hating. No hate here. I make money too but I’m not on television influencing young girls either and I damn sure wouldn’t be doing it that way. She has babies singing her lyrics but that’s ok right as long as she’s making music. I swear if you dont stand for something you will fall for anything.
Angel, did Nicki hurt you? lol If she is mediocre stop giving her time on your site. I am not even a Nikki fan but damn you be chewing on her like a piece of gristle.
Angel whats your beef wit nicki?You just supposed to report the news not give your personal opinion
