Nicki Minaj vs. Mariah Carey, Round 2 and a Twitter tirade

October 4, 2012 By Mark Franklin 0

The Voice struck gold with a judging panel that manages to tease one another and still get along. Well, except for that short-lived little fuss over a Tony Lucca song last year. American Idol seems to be taking the opposite approach. At this point, who needs contestants? Just let Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey battle…
