Nicki Minaj's most bizarre 'American Idol' premiere moments
Quote:
Love her or hate her -- and yes, "American Idol" fans, we know where many of you stand -- Nicki Minaj has already made her mark on the talent competition. That's quite some feat after just two episodes, but it's hardly a surprise to any familiar with her work.
Minaj has always been a performer who demands attention, whether for her music, her characters or her can't-be-ignored wigs and costumes. But on "Idol," she found new ways to stand out -- and not necessarily in a good way.
First there was the odd British invasion from night one of the two-part season premiere, in which Minaj put on her best fake accent (or worst Simon Cowell impersonation) for the panel and hopefuls. The effect soon spread to co-diva Mariah Carey.
