10. Visual Artistry
Who doesn’t like a good show? Certainly, many of us enjoy watching a good songstress spin tunes in concert. But Nicki Minaj doesn’t hold back when she is in concert. I know what some of the women out there may be thinking: “she is exploiting her body. She isn’t the kind of female role model we want for our children.” Yes. On both accounts. Nicki Minaj is certainly no role model. Her performances are filled with raunchy productions to sensationalize herself and her cosmetically rebuilt sexuality. Her outfits are extreme and, at times, can be just a tad revealing. Here, Nicki sings while giving herself up from behind as a male dancer takes a sexual posture. It is not exactly a Celine Dion concert.
There isn’t exactly a lot to say about this. Clearly, Nicki Minaj has gone all Jackson Pollock on her face. Shock value is something that many artists go through these days. They do things to attract as much attention as possible. Here, this staged photo is more in the “Noir” direction as opposed to Minaj’s more normal, “Hey, look at my boobs!” poses. Her platinum blonde look also isn’t Minaj’s natural color but she, along with most female artists, has a tremendous amount of latitude when it comes to changing hair color. However, not nearly as many artists will strip down to nearly nothing and have their face painted like the 1980s exploded all over their face. This look isn’t the worst thing Minaj has ever done, but it certainly is on the extreme side.
