CAREY, MINAJ TURN IDOL SET BLUE IN FRACAS
As American Idol's talent search headed to Charlotte, North Carolina, on Wednesday, the already-tense relationship between judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj went even further south. Things got so heated that the production had to shut down for a bit, leaving a speedway full of aspiring singers sitting idle. It came to a head over contestant Summer Cunningham. "Why are we picking her apart?" Minaj asked after Carey questioned whether the contestant's voice was best-suited for country music. "We're trying to help her as opposed to just talk about her outfit," responded Carey. "Oh, you're right. I'm sorry I can't help her. Maybe I should just get off the [BLEEP] panel," said Minaj and walked off.
