nicki minaj*This year’s Grammy’s were definitely a sight to see, especially with the rather unique, and outlandish performance by Nicki Minaj.

The femcee surprised audiences with her musical version of the exorcist; some were a little nervous, while a few others were scared. But it’s Nicki, what do you expect?

If you missed it, she played up the Roman Catholic Church throughout her performance, in a mocking way according to some opinions, in her visual demonstration of “Roman Holiday.” Some heads turned and others searched for an explanation. But the Church was straight offended by the whole bit.

“I had this vision for Roman for him to be sort of exorcised,” she explained on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show Monday. “People around him tell him he’s not good enough because he’s not normal and he’s not blending in with the Average Joe.”

The performance included a Catholic confession, some demon possession, and dancing monks. Oh and the dramatic end was Minaj ‘levitating’ above the red and white robed dancers.

“The people around him are afraid because they’ve never seen anything like him. He wanted to show that not only is he amazing . . . but he’s never going to change. He’s never going to be exorcised,” Minaj said. “Even when they throw the holy water on him, he still rises above.”

Nicki Minaj 'levitating' at the Grammys on Sunday

But why did she choose this song for the Grammys?

“The Grammys chose ‘Roman Holiday.’ The producers of the Grammys came to the studio and I played them ‘Roman Holiday,’ and I could not play them another record after they heard that. They went crazy. I could have chosen to do a no-brainer pop song, but I can’t do it anymore. I have to stay true to what I’m doing.”

    Nicki tried too hard this go ’round and it did not work. She looked more like a very bad knock-off of Lady Gaga…a Lady Doo Doo. The singing and the performance stanked.

    I should of known something was up when Nicki appeared on the red carpet dressed in a red hood cape and a man posing as The Pope accompanied her. The Exorcist type performance was a mess!!! that time could of been given to honor Ms Diana Ross with her lifetime award on TV instead of given to her before the live telecast, I thoght that was major diss ot Diana and the committee had the nerve to let Glen Campbell receive his lifetime award during the telecast and he even performed..

    I have to be honest. It was a hot mess. i thought her video was bad, but she managed to top that. I didn’t even think that was possible. From a production standpoint, it was well-produced. But visual spectacle aside, uhm…no. But that’s what happens when you open door to spectacle over substance. Lady Gaga’s music is alright, she is not the genius she is made out to be. Her popularity is based on her spectacle. Nikki is trying to commercialize on that. Nothing wrong with that, if the world is buying spectacle…why not make a mint selling it. I agree…I think they time would have been better spent adding something worthwhile. I question why her label is letting her go off the rails. Labels are all about money and from what I’ve seen so far…for free…I’m wanting a refund.

  7. Hey, everyone is trying to make money from the whole possession thing,

    It scared the hell out of me, i didn’t know if it was real or not…
    But there are so many examples of people using this theme to get a dollar, look at all the movies that are coming out about it.
