Nicki Minaj<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After seeing her perform on Wednesday’s Today Show<\/em> I am not heartbroken over Nicki Minaj’s<\/strong> cancelled tour.<\/p>\n

I am sorry, but I’m not.<\/p>\n

As if it’s not bad enough that most female performers are scantily clad\/too sexily dressed therse days. Minaj took things to another level with what her MALE dancers were wearing.<\/p>\n

The male anatomy was pretty much on complete display by these “gentlemen” in very slippery-type pants despite many young kids being in the audience.<\/p>\n

Also, members of the U.S. women’s gymnastics team were on hand, making the scene look all the more uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

OK, it’s been established that I am a conservative and a bit of a prude.<\/p>\n

But shouldn’t there be some standards on attire and\/or where-when certain things would be more appropriate?<\/p>\n

Is it right to have the wholesome and tremendous athletes on at the same time these men are showing “themselves” off to the crowd?<\/p>\n

Do we have standards anymore or is everything pretty much out the window?<\/p>\n

Minaj also considers herself a Christian and tweeted “John 3:16” prior to last Christmas.<\/p>\n

I hope Minaj’s sore throat, the reason for her tour cancellation, gets better.<\/p>\n

I hope her judgment does too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
