Nicki Minaj Performs "Starships" Live On "American Idol"

With just a week until the release of her new album– which sadly leaked online — Nicki Minaj is headed out on the promotional trail to spread the word. What better place than American Idol’s live results show? Nicki took the stage and unleashed her signature dramatics and colorful personality while she performed her latest single “Starships.”

Wearing an eye-popping, cleavage revealing dress, Nicki danced around on stage with her dancers. When the performance concluded, Nicki joked with Ryan Seacrest and the rest of the judges about wanting to come back as a guest judge. Jennifer Lopez joked back, saying she doesn’t know if there’s enough room for both of them on the panel. A big booty joke? We think so!Heejun Han was the one who got sent home this week, leaving DeAndre Brackensick, Hollie Cavanagh, Colton Dixon, Skylar Laine, Joshua Ledet, Phillip Phillips, Jessica Sanchez and Elise Testone as the remaining top 8 contestants. Landing on the bottom three along with Skylar and Hollie, he tried to convince the judges to save him by singing Donnie Hathaway's "A Song for You", but failed.
