I wonder if you guys realize how important and crucial it is that Nicki do things like this at such an early, tender stage of her career. If Nicki came out the gate with an image like she had 4 years ago and still did songs like "Itty Bitty Piggy", she would get NOWHERE. Music today is very pop/dance-orientated and it's almost fact now that you must begin your career with a friendly, fun image or you'll be ignored (see: Natalia Kills, Skylar Grey). Nicki is almost OBLIGATED to behave this way and make music like she does to have success. No, that's not selling out. That's being intelligent and playing the game that sometimes, you just have to play.
But let's not act like this is fake. Nicki, like most people and artists, is very rounded and has many different sides to herself. She's portraying one side right now and she has during this whole era, and these Harajuku, crazy looks are a part of Nicki. I know some of y'all think she's "gone off the deep end" or you "miss the old Nicki", but I'm sure it will return soon enough. Think of Gaga. If Gaga had come out the gate with her dark TFM/BTW image and grittier music like that, she would have flopped harder than hell. But because she started with The Fame, which was fun and friendly in both sound and image, she gained a fanbase with which she could start taking those risks. Nicki will do the same. You have to start somewhere.
Watch, though. Y'all will be saying in a year's time how much you miss this Nicki. ![lmao](http://atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/lmao.gif)

Her outfit at the VMA's ****ing blatantly screamed Gaga and a damn news reporter mistaked her for Gawgs. And while she's always dressed a bit outlandishly, her recent get-ups obviously take it to a whole new level. People don't think this way for no reason.
Let's give up our hopes of what we wish the public percieved Nicki as and get into the reality of the situation.

Let's be honest-- anyone who confused her VMA outfit with Gaga is just stupid. Just ****ing stupid.
Gaga has NEVER dressed like that. The closest being the Kermit the Frog outfit. And even then, that **** was years ago. Lady Gaga for the past minute doesn't dress ANYTHING like that, so for Nicki to show up like that and you think "GAGA!" just screams stupidity.
Weird does NOT equal Gaga. There are SO many different types of weird that a person could dress as.
Ignorance TBH.

The answer is simple. She wants to become the "It' girl. Who is currently the biggest pop star worldwide ? Gaga for sure. What is gaga most known of ? Her voice ? Her hits ? no. Gaga is most known as a crazy person that dresses weird and has crazy ass videos. Nicki saw that. Everyone sees that. Don't be suprised when you see Nicki dancing with dead people in her next video.

The difference is, Gagas music is still relatively the same. Her image just changed.

I'm not liking how she seems to be jumping the bandwagon and trying to dress crazy for media attention. It really seems as much as ppl hate to hear but these girls r trying to dress and act all crazy for the media attention since GaGa did it but here's the difference between the two is GaGa actually has a lot of talent and but when she dressed/dresses crazy she at least has an element of high fashion to it. These girls like Katy and Nicki just look like damn fools when we all know they can look really amazing/hot when they want to but the prob is that they both seem to be selling out despite the criticism they've gotten for their comparisions to GaGa and it seems like they thrive on it the more comparisions that come out. ![shake no](images/smilies/images/smilies/shakeno.gif)

EVERYTHING about GAGA has changed. Her ego, her used to be fun music, her obsessive preachy interviews. What are you talking about?

As if Nicki Minaj is not making the choices, and "Roman" is. C'mon, now...

She wasn't prepared for the awards and we were NEVER prepared for her…..Case closed and casket dropped .

It's a categorical choice of Nicki's. Instead of saying "oh, I wore this because I wanted to express my feminine side and show how girly I am and what I feel like as a woman", she can just say, "that was Barbie". See how much easier that is? Plus it's an interesting thing to do. Grabs attention.

Nicki is become more 'pop' as the weeks pass & her image is also changing,
Don't talk before you know whats up.

She's been releasing new music? ![confused](http://www.atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/confused.gif)
I really don't listen to her at all, but it's pretty obvious that releasing Super Bass as a single was a turn in the mainstream direction for Nicki. Other than that I don't get your point cause I'm pretty sure she doesn't have any new material in the past few weeks.

transformation, however, has this aura around it -- a "selling-out" type of aura.
A disingenuous type of aura. An attention-seeking type of aura. It's very
transparent and even the slowest of fans are beginning to pick up on that.

Good point. And the fact that you, being so well known for your opinion of Gaga ![eli's_rhythm](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/eli_zps0932edf9.gif) , can admit to this says a lot. Gaga did have a method to her madness that involved no kind of "selling-out." The same can't be said about Nicki, who's followed many other of her peers onto the "wacky" train aand recieved the same Gaga comparisons. The route is so tired and old, I've no idea why Nicki and her team would choose to travel down it.

It is still considered pop though.
Gaga started off as a POP ARTIST, and what is she now? Exactly that.
The same can't be said for Nicki.

Nicki is still in her DEBUT era. You cannot judge yet what she is going to do and how everything is going to plan out. I swear, some of y'all think you can see the future or some ****. ![lmao](http://atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/lmao.gif)
