The following is American Idol judge Nicki Minaj's critique of Of Human Bondage

description


Hello darling. You know that I'm completely obsessed with you right now. I just want to say first of awll that your mustache is very becoming. And that ascot gets me really hot and bothered. It totally Does! I'll be honest with you sweetie, it makes me think very naughty thoughts.

Now listen darling, I have 4 words for you: This book is everything !

Seriously, sweetie, it's on another lev-el. It's completely beyond. Your writing is so rich, it's like a big heap of chocolate mousse cake. I want to drown it in fudge sauce and eat the whole thing UP! I didn't even mind the length because the story and the characters just drew me in. (don't listen to them sweetie, size does matter).

I can't wait to see what you give us next week, baby love. You just keep doin what you do.

Jason Hm. I would probably understand this review a lot more if I still watched American Idol.


Jenn(ifer) She's a piece a work, dahling.


Jenn(ifer) Nick wrote: "This would be better if it were an (ifer) review."

pshhhhht. Nicki Manaj is the future, dahling.


Richard How did you manaj to get Nicki to do a guest review?

As Zsa Zsa Gabor might say, "Simply mahvelous, dahling!" Then she'd go and slap a cop.

thank you, good sir. and you truly are the pun master.


Richard Jenn(ifer) wrote: "thank you, good sir. and you truly are the pun master."

Thanks, (ifer), but that was also a very original review. You're my Idol!


Jenn(ifer) :D I kind of wanted to do this whole "Nicki Manaj critiques" series because she's such a great character, but I'm realizing that people may not be very familiar with her. Her critiques on American Idol are hilarious and I find her endlessly entertaining.


s.penkevich [hiatus-will return-miss you all] Ha, now I have to hear Nicki Manaj talk because now in my head she sounds like the girl from Harry Potter or some old biddy from a Dickens novel!

Yikes. If that's the case, my review is a failure! She actually sounds a bit like Fran Drescher.


s.penkevich [hiatus-will return-miss you all] Ah, gotcha. I saw Lev-el and though post English drawn out eeehhhh sound ha. My bad.


message 12: by Nefariousbig (new)

Nefariousbig I don't like her music, but I LOVE her character and personality! And you forgot the part about the yummy yummy waffles with butter and sticky syrup all over 'em. So sweet. Little bug, I love your legs, they are just so beautiful, and they turn me on.

Oooooo girl I have not begun to use all of my Manaj-isms!

Ha, no -- she likes to enunciate both syllables in lev-el.

And I have to say, my little kitty cat, I've never heard a song of hers, but I'm obsessed with her right now.


message 18: by Stephen M (new)

Stephen M Wow, I must say Ms. Manaj, I'm quite impressed with your taste in literature. No offense, but I didn't exactly have you pinned as the Maugham kind of reader—or as a reader at all, frankly.


Jenn(ifer) Frances wrote: "http://youtu.be/T6j4f8cHBIM"

Oh my god. I think I love her even more now (but god, her music sucks)


Jenn(ifer) Stephen M wrote: "Wow, I must say Ms. Manaj, I'm quite impressed with your taste in literature. No offense, but I didn't exactly have you pinned as the Maugham kind of reader—or as a reader at all, frankly."

Don't judge me, baby. Just because I like to sit in front of the tv eating waffles once in awhile doesn't mean I'm illiterate.

Petra X Nicely written.

I love Nicki Minaj. She is an overthetop doesn't take herself seriously version of Lady Gaga. And I am so pleased she reads good books too. (view spoiler)


Traveller Oh yaye! So, so so glad you gave this a fiver, Jenn! Whooppee! I love Somerset Maughm's work, and this is one is on my list of faves, just below Razor's Edge.

Thank you Ms. X! (view spoiler)

Whoopee! :) I actually read this one years ago; I was just playing around with the reviewing, but yes, it's one of my favorites too! Although I think I liked it a little more than I'm liking 'Razor's Edge.'

Traveller I should actually re-read them both. I rated them on long-ago memories; I had a Maugham roll a few years back. It's amazing how much detail one forgets after a few years.

Mark We regret to inform this week's audience that due to car trouble on the 405, Ms. Minaj will not be seen at her regularly scheduled posting.

Hahahahahaha :) Like the way she sidled in in her hoodie & sunglasses?


message 28: by Mark (new) - added it

Mark I heard about it on the radio and what little I know about her it fit her crazy personality :D

Are you an AI watcher? I used to love that show! By 2008, it seemed deed deed deed


Jenn(ifer) I totally am! I still love it. GO CANDICE!


message 30: by Mark (new) - added it

Mark What finally turned me off was less the show as the complete goofiness of the voting. It began to feel like it was all rigged and no matter who you called in for (are you a caller inner?) it was all a rouse. From 2006 til I stopped in 2008, it seemed like the absolute least desirable person won and the more deserving kids, with some talent and range, were often sent home the earliest. After three back to back seasons of that, they kilt me!

You know, now you can vote up to 50 times per week for one contestant. That's why they say they get elevendy billion votes a week!


message 32: by Mark (new) - added it

Mark There's a limit? I didn't remember there being a limit :D


Jenn(ifer) I'm not a caller inner, and the one I like the best never manages to win, but I'm okay with that!

Thanks Brian!

I rarely get trolled, so I still find it a bit amusing when it happens.

I've heard of Nicki Minaj and think i heard her sing on Saturday Night Live, but I never heard her speak. I don't watch American Idol or any other reality show, but I don't think being familiar with her is necessary to get the gist of your review. I really, like, enjoyed it.


message 44: by Lima (new) - added it

Lima is this a joke!?
does she seriously think the writer is alive??


Jenn(ifer) are you seriously asking if this is a joke? of course it's a joke. a very dated joke at this point, a bad joke as well, but a joke nonetheless

That's such a half-hearted trolling I wonder why she bothered?

Lima Jenn(ifer), perhaps you could pull whatever is sticking up your ass and take notice of the fact that I was genuine and not trolling. Gosh, I have paranoid and insecure cunts.

Lima -- may I suggest the same to you. If you look carefully, you will see that NO ONE was paying any attention to your comment. Miriam was referring to another comment made over a year ago. Watch your language please. This is a family site.
