Nicki Minaj is our generation's Liza Minnelli: consummate performer, knows how to work a crowd, looks amazing in false eyelashes. (Though, as Style Editor Alex Frank just quipped, "They better keep her away from the pills, then.") However, as her performance of "Check it Out" on Letterman attests, whomever is telling her to dance in a V formation needs to sit their ass down. We are huge fans of choreography, maybe even dabble a little ourselves privately (maybe), but Nicki should not deign to incorporate something so rote and expected into her shows! She is a rapper with creative hand gestures who needs to be in martian mode at all times! Leave the dancing to Ciara. FREE NICKI! Oh yes, will.i.am was there too. After the jump, stream her remix of Future Business Leader of America Willow Smith's amazing "Whip My Hair" because like, duh.
