"When I watch these shows and somebody says 'Yes' to somebody who clearly doesn't deserve it, it bothers me. It bothers me in my soul," says Nicki, who had no trouble saying "No." Of past experience watching judging on the show, Minaj says, "I didn't like when people would be overtly passive about the talent." She says that merely having a sob story shouldn't benefit a performer.- Nicki Minaj at 2013 TCA Winter Press Conference
11:39 a.m. Are the judges worried about taking time and energy away from their own careers? "I've actually been balancing my career with the show the whole time," Nicki says. "It's not like we come to work Monday through Friday 9-to-5," Nicki says, adding that she's going to record verses for other peoples' albums later today. Mariah agrees. She's working on a new record right now, but this has been good for her, because it has required her to stop and take a break. She's also got two babies, but she adds, "Yay nannies."
