I always try to catch up with the mainstream music industry, because I think that it's important to adjust to the time you live in. But this "music" video just had my visions changed.
She makes a complete fool out of herself, and looks and sounds completely mental. This has nothing to do with music, beauty or the world that I live in. This trash will always be remembered as a big black hole in history.
How on earth does this video get more likes than dislikes? What happened to the world? We need to take this poor, dumb creature out of the media immediately and protect her from herself.
Phyllis, in case you haven't noticed, the world and the music industry changed quite a bit over the years. You either adjust to it, or you become some old moaner that is longing for the past.
I used to be the first category, until I experienced this clip.
Now that you mention it, it does feel like "time traveling". Can you imagine Julie Andrews being in a clip like this?
For the record, I like Nicki Minaj but find this song to be her laziest effort.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Julie would never look and sound like a swearing retard escaped from a mental hospital. She would keep her class in every situation, even with her boobs out.

Dave19, the bastion of tasteful, in-touch opinions, who once contended that B.D. Wong was a more recognizable actor than Hugh Jackman and that Glee was too complex for most audiences to grasp.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
Kad, exactly, the same audience that loves this music video apparently.
NYadgal, what is wrong with a retard? Not so negative please. Nicki Minaj just looks like one in this video. The fact that I don't like her imitating them and swears while doing it is my personal opinion, but we shouldn't "not mention them" ever.
Jay-Lerner, I said I found the Black reel awards racist, because I think there is no need for separation based on race. Especially when 9% of the North American people are African American and 12 % of the regular Oscar Winners is. People who still think separate awards are needed are the racist here. Including you?
Wynbish, "Shasquirta" was not to bash Annie. It was to show how ridiculous this separation nonsense is.
It's not that there are no such people as "retards" or that we shouldn't mention or acknowledge them, but that we can't call them "retards" anymore. It's insensitive, and it's outdated. The term refers to a broad-strokes diagnosis of mental retardation that is now considered to be both medically vague and insensitive as a misused slur.
Yes, mental retardation is still a thing. I work in a government bureau in which legal/medical terminology frequently includes "PMR- person with mental retardation" or "mentally retarded individual." The individuals, broadly speaking, are mentally retarded- mentally impaired from achieving the level of development they are expected to by their age level. But they aren't "retards," or even "retarded." That word has been misused until it means something else, and that something is not especially applicable to my job description.
Your USE of the word was insulting and derogatory.
When they were originally introduced, the terms “mental retardation” or “mentally retarded” were medical terms with a specifically clinical connotation; however, the pejorative forms, “retard” and “retarded” have been used widely in today’s society to degrade and insult people with intellectual disabilities. Additionally, when “retard” and “retarded” are used as synonyms for “dumb” or “stupid” by people without disabilities, it only reinforces painful stereotypes of people with intellectual disabilities being less valued members of humanity.
There are other ways to describe what you don't like aobut the video.
