Minaj has never been much of a live singer or dancer, and at the Billboard Awards she performed a nine-minute medley that seemed primarily designed to underscore the volume of her output.
Perhaps she is saving up her artistic firepower for her next album. But, in the meantime, her untrammelled focus on her fan support, and on her position on the charts, seems increasingly like a way of compensating for a lack of substance—a way of grasping for a kind of relevance that she is struggling to tap into organically.
Her relentless boasts feel less like the prideful expressions of an artist than like those of, say, a historically unpopular President distributing printouts of electoral maps to Oval Office visitors. Having been released in , "Good Form ft. Lil Wayne" has proven to be one of Nicki Minaj's most successful hits. The video is extremely well put together, and it features a lot of great dancing, with Nicki often being surrounded by backing dancers throughout the song.

This has no doubt helped the video perform so well on YouTube , as many of his fans will have been drawn in to check it out as well.
