Nicki had nothing but positive things to say about her short stay on the once unbeatable reality singing franchise that had dominated the world. When Nicki was asked if she will be returning to the reality show she had said, “That’s a million-dollar question.”

Ironically, that was hours before judge Randy Jackson had officially announced his final departure from the show, “I have to say this all the time, but I want people to know it’s genuinely from my heart. I love the people on ‘Idol.’ I genuinely do. If I had to do this all over again, I would have done ‘Idol.’ Because it’s fun, it’s laughs.” Many rumors have been floating around Hollywood saying that the entire panel could be removed in order to bring new blood into the reality show. Nicki said about the show, “It’s kind of sad that what people read all the time is only when something is negative,” she said. “But they don’t realize that we built a family. I feel happy here and I have to thank them for giving me this chance. They could have picked anyone in the world. And they picked me. So that’s all I’ll say about that.” The constant shade that Nicki and Mariah throw at each other » Read more..
