Celeb News: YAHOO crowns Nicki Minaj "Queen of Shade"

But nothing's fair in the "Idol" game, of course--certainly not when it comes to Nicki Minaj, the Queen of Shade. And so, towards the end of Wednesday's episode, when the three underdog guys remaining on the show (Burnell Taylor, Devin Velez, and this season's token Sanjaya-style punching bag, Lazaro Arbos) performed the Four Tops' "I Can't Help Myself," Nicki could not help herself from viciously blasting the boys. There was nothing sugar-pie-ish or honey-bunch-esque about her scathing remarks, that's for sure.

Yes, the boys' seemingly unrehearsed and embarrassingly amateurish performance had been cringe-inducing and hardly deserving of praise; it actually gave me nightsweaty flashbacks to all those terrible lyric-flubbing performances from this season's Hollywood Week rounds. In fact, if these boys had given a group performance like this back then, they probably would not have made it beyond Hollywood. But still. Nicki was shockingly ruthless--so ruthless, in fact, that even Simon Cowell probably would've told her to take it easy if he'd been sitting on the panel with her.

The only judge up there keeping it real

Not watching the show anymore but I'm glad to hear Nicki is still a great judge.

She's not shading anyone but Mariah sometimes

She's just critiquing.

But she sits a couple feet from the queen of shade.

Good God even Yahoo! is trying to use "shade" these days. Now I know how black people feel when everyone drives their slang into the ground.

Christina says otherwise..

I was here for her shading Mariah after Kree performed

She's not the "Queen of Shade" though. She's just keeping it real tbh.

They weren't that bad, I do think it was a bit much tbh.

Honey

Mariah is the Queen of Shade tho.

Midnight

I don't know what happened on the show, but it's not shade if you're bluntly "blasting" someone.

Nicki isn't playing anything she just says how it is, I think it's not a shade she's just really honest and I appreciate that

Mariah is the Queen of shade though, Nicki is just doing her job as a judge.

Don't be so harsh on Randy but mariah is so passive that its comes off weak. Shade can be blunt and nicki does just that...but i wouldn't call her comments the most shady moreso her looks during performances and when keith and randy actually give critiques.

You can be blunt and shade down. Shade isn't.just passive aggressive.
