What is Nicki's powerhouse ?: Delivery, flow
What is Nicki's weakness ?: Lyricism (compared to the flow/delivery) She can spit, but only when she wants to. Reuses A LOT of her lyrics, I'ma need some new hardcore **** than using your old ones and using it in a different way.
What would you like Nicki to improve on? Lyricism, live performances, singing. She can improve her performances and singing through her tours. Lyricism, she herself needs to try improving in that field. I suggest making a mixtape, going back to her roots for that mixtape, and just write and spit than be on that money **** 
What genres do you want Nicki to tackle in the next era?: Indie, alternative, dubstep, reggae, r&b

First liked: She's really the only female rapper from my place of residence so that kinda made me get into her. Her Freestyle (on Playtime is Over) blew me away.
Made a Fan: Listening to random Playtime Is Over/Sucka Free mixtape tracks. I loved how she could go from playful & witty to grimy & serious, I could sense that she was versatile from early on.
Made a Stan: Beam Me Up Scotty & the feature verse era. I'm not gonna lie and say I was Team Minaj since the dawn of time, although I sort of followed her journey since the beginning.
Renewed my Love: It never burned out.

Powerhouse: "Monster", "Roman's Revenge", "Roman Holiday", Here I Am", "Catch Me".
Weakness: Making dance-pop. I love songs like "Super Bass" in which Nicki combines Hip-Hop and Pop, but her dance-pop (judging by "Starships", "Turn Me On", and the snippets) has almost no elements of Hip-Hop, and the elements that are actually present are drowned out by over the top production.
Improve: I guess making Hip-Pop instead of Dance-Pop.
Genres: I would like Nicki to drop Dance-Pop and include Hip-Hop into everything she does, but I would like to see her tackle other genres, too. She could make a Pop/Rock song where she raps the verses, she could do Hip-Hop infused Dubstep, she could do anything as long as she's rapping for most of the song. 
EDIT: I thought you were talking about her discography with Powerhouse and Weakness, so yeah...  I didn't realise you meant how she delivers a song and stuff.

I love the fact that we are doing this, it shows how diverse our fanbase is, people who love the rap more than pop and the other way around

Nicki's powerhouse: Her flow, no one can ride a beat like Nicki, she's just the king. Her wittiness is also undeniably great, she's very clever.
What is Nicki's weakness?: To me she's not weak in any area. I can't really think of anything. Maybe performance-wise, I love her perfomances but there's always room for improvement I guess.
What would you like Nicki to improve on?: Lyricism, she's very strong in this area but she seems to be getting a little lazy (although I'll wait until PFRR to judge), she's a beast, I want her to show it a little more often and even go harder than she ever has before.
What genres/elements do you want Nicki to tackle in the next era?: I'd love to hear some Rock elements, "Knockout" is everything. She can also take a break from the Europop/Dance sounding stuff after PFRR.

My personal journey with Nicki Minaj:
In the summer of 2010, I heard bits of pieces of Your Love a couple of times, and found it repetitive and annoying. Then, in September, I saw that she had a new song out with will.i.am. I'm not a huge Black Eyed Peas fan, but I decided to check it out. I listened to the full song, and I didn't like it. It was just too explicit for me, and I forgot about Nicki for the next month or so.
Then, I saw the music video for the clean version on MTV and I LOVED it. I thought it was the catchiest thing ever. I went and downloaded the clean version from Youtube, and saw she had another song out called Right Thru Me, which I also downloaded.
A couple of days later, I saw that she had another new song out with Eminem called Roman's Revenge. I listened to it once and was simply horrified. I thought to myself: Well, at least I still have CIO and RTM, even if the rest of the album is way too hardcore for me.
Then, I listened to the snippets for Pink Friday and I was FLOORED. I listened to those snippets over and over again, and went back and downloaded tons of her features.
I bought the clean version of Pink Friday on November 22 and I loved all of the songs except RR and DIOE.
Meanwhile, I was hearing rumblings of a song called Monster, on which Nicki apparently "proved herself" and "stole the spotlight from Jay-Z and Kanye." I downloaded the clean version of that and slowly warmed up to it. This allowed me to truly appreciate the epicness of DIOE and ESPECIALLY Roman's Revenge, which is one of my all time favorite Nicki songs now. I converted dozens of people at school into Nicki stans.
For the rest of 2011, I followed Nicki closely and downloaded every song she was in. I got Twitter just so I could follow her (and Kesha).
Then, Roman In Moscow came out. I liked it, but I said to myself: This better be the ONLY song like this on the new album...
Then Stupid Hoe came out. I kinda liked it but...
Then the Grammy's performance happened. I loved the song, but hated the performance. I was thisclose to writing off Nicki forever, as I had done with Rihanna when she went through her dark "Rated R" phase. An artist's personality is very important to me. For example, I still like Rihanna's music but I could never respect her as a person.
28 hours later, Starships came out. I forgave Nicki instantly and began stanning harder than ever.
I haven't listened to Right By My Side, Beez In The Trap, or the snippets, and I don't plan to. April 3 is gonna be HUGE for me. I've never been as excited for an album as I am for this one, and I've never liked or respected an artist as much as I do Nicki.
Sorry for the long post, I just felt like I had to get this all out!

Let me just let bolbi speak for me on one, and I can't answer the rest.

What genres/elements do you want Nicki to tackle in the next era?: I honestly don't care. Anything and everything. Hell, she can move straight into the dance/pop era as long as in every song her lyricism is on point.

I loved your journey! I love how you got into pop Nicki before appreciating her as a rapper, it's usually the opposite for others. I am going to write one as well!
I don't have exact dates but towards mid 2010 I heard Your Love, but hated it. Though it was crap. Then one day I was in the house walking around and I hear my brother playing music, he usually plays music I hate. But I hear him talking to his friends "you guys have to hear this rap bitch, she's ****ing good" and heard Dang a lang! and she was like rapping and my brother was enjoying it. I later on asked him what her name was, and found the song and couldn't stop listening to it.
Later on that evening, I had discovered many other Nicki features, bottoms up, lil freak, and then what locked it in for me was Monster. I was on ATRL and stumbled into the Nicki thread, this was of course Pre pink friday. I said I was a "new fan" and I got asked by one of the fans who I no longer thinks is here he asked me "What's your favorite verse on Playtime is over, so I searched and the mixtape popped up, listened to Playtime is over, then Beam me up scotty, then Sucka Free and fell in LOVE!
Then I started loving pop Nicki, Your Love started getting really catchy, right thru me was alright, but then After pink friday I stopped stanning. I started to hate her because of the whole Kim thing, since I do love Kim... But then she released RIM and I still disliked her, STUPID Hoe came along and still I disliked her... Then Roman Holiday was performed and I went FULL ON STAN MODE!
And now I can't help but lover her xD
Sorry for the long story

I loved your story too! I love how you're bridging the gap between the two rival artists, that's something we definitely don't see everyday.
I love to read about how others discovered Nicki / why they love her

Yeah, now I don't pay attention to the rivalry, I kind of like it... Because they both go so hard so I'm happy with that hahaha.
More people should write how they got to know Nicki! I need to hear how everyone started loving the queen

I also have to say that Nicki has completely opened my world up in regards to rap music. For example, 2 years ago, I would NEVER have even given a song called "****** In Paris" a chance. Now however, it is my favorite (non-Nicki) rap song ever!

Oh my god I think I'm horrible at story telling lmao but I will say I heard rumblings about Nicki for years from various forums I went on, one was a Britney forum and Nicki had the biggest stan ever there. I never checked out her mixtapes though until after becoming a fan. I think the thing that made a fan was the Up Out My Face remix, her verse on that is fireeee! And I love Mariah.
Anyways after that I started checking out her mixtapes and and got hooked. She hadn't done many features when Up Out My Face came out so I patiently waited for more, and became more of a stan after she slayed everyone.  My fave is Bottom's Up I have to say. Oh and I knew I was gonna be a hardcore fan when Your Love came out, I loved it. I'm a sap for those romantic songs. I remember actually thinking Check It Out would be huge, I loved that song.  When it didn't do well though I got worried...but then queen Nicki slayed with the full album and Super Bass/Roman's Revenge, and made me a full time stan for both Popnika and Rapnika.
