The “socially awkward” semifinalist of American Idol season 12 Charlie Askew recently sat down for an interview in which he spoke about being on the show, and the criticism on his final night from our favorite judge Nicki Minaj! Read his comments below.

“I was hurt by what Nicki said, but the reason wasn’t because she was critiquing me in any negative way. I’m used to that. I do this for negative and positive criticism,” he said. “But all the comments she kept throwing out there were about my image and my outfit and my arms… and not the singing! And I thought of all people she would understand where I was coming from with this performance. It was almost hypocritical of her … She changes her image every day, you know?”

Alrighty Barbz, this post isn’t actually Nicki Minaj news in-direct, but it did catch my eye enough to decide to post it. While over at the Ledger-Enquirer reading a live-review of tonight’s LIVE episode of American Idol on FOX! Whilst finishing up my reading, I noticed that there was one comment on the post and I’ve noticed that anytime someone comments on an Idol post, they will have something to say about Nicki, whether positive, negative, or down the middle. This comment leaned in the Queen’s favor and just goes to show that no matter who you are, where you come from, what genre(s) of music you listen to, etc. anybody can see the good in Onika Maraj. This comment is by a 50 year old woman who has been a long time Idol fan; read her comments below…

“i have watched american idol since its first episode of the first season, i have missed a couple episodes and 1 time it was because i was in the hospital. this being said, i truely believe the nicki minaj, as strange as she can be, lol, is the best woman judge idol has yet to have, in my opinion. all my thumbs up to u nicki, im an old woman,50 lol, and i just love all the wierd, strange things u say, and I love to hear ur honest opinion. TY!!!!” – Diane Neufeld
