Nicki Minaj is not possessed, she is bizarre. I did not stay up to watch the Grammy's and after viewing the video in class I found it very rude. The Recording Academy should have never, ever, let her preform a song, along with a dance routine that offends any religion. As we discussed in class, the board would not of approved her performance if it included any symbols or innuendos towards another religion.
Everyone should have known that something fishy was going to happen when Nicki Minaj arrived with an escort dressed as the pope. Her whole entire performance included symbols from the Catholic church. She mocked all of our sacred teachings. It really surprises me that she was allowed to perform such a controversial and offensive piece.
First she started off with imitating a confession to a bishop. Then she showed a video clip where she pretended to act out an exorcism. Next she continued to talk in tongues, engage in provocative dancing with alter boys, have the bishop come out as if he was praying and saying mass, and a choir that sang "Come All Ye Faithful". There is not a way anyone could claim that she was not making fun of the Catholic church.
I understand that artists need to be different and unpredictable but not the way Nicki Minaj did it. There are so many more ideas out there, why did she have to make fun of the church? That is not the type of image she should be giving out. I do not think many people even liked the song; I could not even understand what she was saying the whole time. I know she likes to be different but that was not the way she should have expressed it. I would like her to apologize. Nicki is not possessed, she is just weird and disrespectful.
