VIDEO: Nicki Minaj Brings Her "Starships" To "The Today Show"

Apr 06 | by Natasha

Nicki Minaj made an appearance on "The Today Show" this morning to continue pubbing her Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded album in an all black revealing mesh outfit. After running into Kim K. on the set (who told Ann Curry she's excited what the future holds for her & Kanye West & loves his new song "Theraflu" which is partially about her), Nicki chatted up Matt Lauer about her "fashion" choices and making her own decisions.

Check out her interview, plus her two performances of "Starships" & "Right By My Side" inside....

Of course Matt was taken aback by Nicki's morning look. So he asked Nicki how she decides what to wear each day, to which she answered, "It's always very impromptu. I hate planning stuff. Yesterday actually I told my stylist 'I've been doing so much color recently, just get me black. Put me in black. Black, black, black everything."

Check out her full interview below:

Nicki also just taped a "Nightline" interview that will air Monday night on ABC.

And after her appearance, she was spotted arriving back at her hotel, Trump Soho, with SB:

The performance wasnt the

The performance wasnt the best ever, but why dont we see you sing that high? If you dont like someone dont be a hater, just dont watch their performances, dont buy their music, no ones forcing you. And those of you who say you dont want to waste your time on watching her performances why are you wasting your time commenting? If you have nothing nice to say dont say it

Well, at least she didn't

Well, at least she didn't show up dressed as one of the characters from Candyland again. I wish her the best, but I'm not a fan of the crossover pop she's doing lately.

NBC KNOW THEY'LL DO ANYTHING

NBC KNOW THEY'LL DO ANYTHING FOR RATINGS...SHE DOESN'T EVEN FIT THEIR BRAND. AND SHE SHOULD ALLOW HER STYLIST TO HAVE SOME KIND OF SAY BECAUSE SHE LOOKED LIKE TRASH ON THE SHOW. THE TODAY SHOW CATERS TO A MORE CLASSIER AUDIENCE AND THEY TOTALLY DOWN GRADED BY HAVING HER LOOKING STOOPID ON THE SHOW! NICKI LOOSE THE GIMMICKY SHIT, YOU HAVE A FOLLOWING NOW! HAVE SOME CLASS!

I have got to admit this

I have got to admit this "Starships" song is catchy!.... I like the song, HOWEVER... That performance was not good. It seemed cheap and as if it was put together at the last minute. Maybe it is just me but all of her performances seem to be awkward unless she is on stage with someone. ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺ BlueIvyCarter.blogspot.com ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺ BlueIvyCarter.blogspot.com ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺ BlueIvyCarter.blogspot.com ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺ BlueIvyCarter.blogspot.com OAN: She seems to be more intelligent than I assumed and for that I am glad. I hope this young lady can stay in the ring for a while and is actually enjoying HER TIME!! #WHEREARETHEREALFEMALERAPPERS??!! ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺ BlueIvyCarter.blogspot.com ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺ BlueIvyCarter.blogspot.com ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺ BlueIvyCarter.blogspot.com ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺ BlueIvyCarter.blogspot.com

She showed up to the Today

She showed up to the Today Show in bra and panties. I don't think I've ever seen someone dress so slutty for The Today Show. She should have known better than to like dress like that in for a family morning show and in front of respected journalists like Matt Lauer. That awful look should have been for the stage and music videos only. She has no class.

It baffles my mind the way

It baffles my mind the way you guys operate. You can't stand everything about Nicki but you click on everything she does and comment. It's pure insanity. You think you can hate her away? Convince other people how terrible she is and she will disappear? Word of advice try something new. Clicking and commenting only helps her try ignoring her and maybe she will go away.

Nicki Minaj is nothing more

Nicki Minaj is nothing more than a clown. A Blonde lacefront and a pointed sculpted nose. There is nothing attractive about this girl or original. Everytime I look at her I can't help but think of "V" the 80's show. At any moment she looks as though her tongue will lick you like the aliens on V. I hate that lizard look of hers and that wide gator mouth of hers. I'm sorry being a clown in the black world can only last so long. We don't accept that Lady Ga Ga foolery. Just ask Kelis how long her career lasted. At least Lady GaGa is in good shape when she is wearing her foolish fashion. Someone please tell Nicki she is beyond wide right now and is not pulling this look off well at all!

Oh Nicki.... I miss the old

Oh Nicki.... I miss the old you and could actually tolerate your green wigs and cathcy music... Now I'm starting to think that the song "stupid hoe" is simply a reflection of who you've become. That lacefront, pillow top booty and fishnet outfit is really fucking off my morning... Hella rolling my eyes.....
