The second half of this album is LOADED with potential CHR/Pop and Rhythmic hits.

This album is a f@cking mess. +1 I love the first half of the album up to Starships, it flows together well, then it turns into a electro/ dance pop album! The album just seems to be all over the place. I found myself just skipping all those Dance songs, they all sound exactly the same to me and get very annoying, but since most of them are produced by RedOne that's no surprise. I can't wait for this dance trend to end, IMO Nicki is at her best when she's actually rapping, and not trying to rap/sing over a dance track. Overall good album, not great, I would of preferred more Roman and less Pop Nicki. Favorite Tracks Roman Holiday, Champion, Right By My Side, Starships, I Am Your Leader, and Young Forever

This album is a f@cking mess. +1 I love the first half of the album up to Starships, it flows together well, then it turns into a electro/ dance pop album! It's absolutely true! It's literally two separate projects. Come On A Cone is filthy hot, love this. Marilyn Monroe is basically Nicki's "California King Bed." Actually, it's shocking how much she sounds like a poor man's Rihanna on some of the CHR leaning tracks. Not that this is a bad thing, it's just hard to tell it's Nicki. The album is full of hits though.

The album is full of hits though. I always thought she sounded like Rihanna on Turn Me On. Not the whole thing put in parts. Anyhow, I heard Beez In The Trap on the radio last night. I love the beat.

Odd how, only months ago, I was nearly pleading with her to give the pop concessions a rest and now all I really care to listen to are her Jock Jams. The album's still young but I'll take the second half over the first for now. It's messy, it's catanonic, it's more of that gross Broadway pop Lady Gaga popularized and I love it. How could you deny her enthusiam? And that enthusiasm is exactly what the first half* lacks. *I do however LOVE Come On A Cone. Only bummed it didn't live up to its title's expectations, i.e. my One Direction fantasy. I always thought she sounded like Rihanna on Turn Me On. I thought that was Nicole Schwarzenegger up until four days ago, no joke.

Well, half of this album isn't as bad in full as I thought it would be. Doesn't seem to be the popular opinion but the first does much more for me than the latter: a messy, uninspired assault on my ears. Sure, she wants it, but then either you've got it or you don't...
Back to the positive: interesting production choices were made on both halves, some for and against her favor, but 'Roman Holiday' and, as already mentioned, 'Come On a Cone' are two instant highlights. Oh, and my displeasure aside, she'll probably have Pop eating her puss in a matter of months, so you know, good on her for that!

This album is going to get trashed by the critics. It seems so rushed and poorly put together...who the hell was in charge of this product? Definitely a sophomore slump for Nicki, but it'll still do well commercially and might even open bigger than Pink Friday did. Here's to hoping she'll come harder with her 3rd release.

I kinda expected the album to be kinda bad, but this is worse than I thought. I was really hoping she would kill this second era.

I love this album. Come On a Cone is my jam. Roman Holiday, I Am Your Leader, Whip It, Pound the Alarm, Beautiful Sinner, and Marilyn Monroe are all tracks I enjoy quite a bit. I enjoy the first half a lot more than I had anticipated.

@ the shade on American Idol tonight. Jennifer Lopez and Steve Tyler's looks were too damn funny. Plus Ryan too. Well, can you BLAME them? They are judging a SINGING competition, first and foremost and to come on there and blatantly not even TRY to sing during the singing parts (not even convinced her rapping was live either), especially given the actual sturdy crop of talent they have this year, was blatant disrespect. Though, in my opinion, American Idol asked for it by getting her on the show in the first place. She is starting to get on my nerves...

I just watched it on my phone. Obviously her voice isn't big as the backing track, but you can still she sung.
But whateves.

I agree with your latter statement: it's entirely the fault of Idol for opening the doors for someone who's a performer first and foremost -- not that there's anything wrong with that. So while I find it wildly amusing that people were a little uh... bewildered by the performance, I also find it a bit backhanded and disrespectful to Nicki, not the other way around. That's her thing, why can't they just let her be great?
