Okay who’s ready for another controversial topic? I think I am. And this has to do with Nicki’s Grammy performance last night. Which can be found here:
Anyways, there is quite a number of people in particular Catholics who are outraged with this performance. They think it glorifies evil and that she is disgusting and God basically hates her for it. Thats what I’ve gotten from several reviews, fan posts on Nicki’s Facebook page, and people talking about it at school.
Here is my opinion, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion so here it is. I think this performance was overall good for a few reasons but also bad for a few others. Musically, I was kind of disappointed it had neither good raps nor and kind of catchy-ness. Theatrically, the performance was entertaining, it was bizarre and I liked that. Now here’s where people will disagree with me, I think that this “criticism” to the Roman Catholic church was a good thing. The Catholic church has been known to have quite a few problems with it wether it be priests touching little boys to the Pope publicly condemning homosexuality as an evil. See I feel like the Catholic church (while it isn’t all bad) they haven’t received any criticism that could check and balance the church’s less than desirable qualities. I don’t know if the bluntness of her performance was completely necessary but it was nice to see that there is public criticism of the Catholic church on a broader scale than the blog of some atheist or some small rally.
I’m not an expert but this is how I feel. I love Nicki Minaj (more her older stuff) and I hope more people do too! Thanks for reading everyone and like I said I MEAN NO DISRESPECT TO ANYONE (well maybe to the pope for saying my homosexuality is a form of evil).
