How was Missy Miyagi? my sleepy partner said as I tumbled through the front door after midnight. Nicki Minaj! I replied. My moral compass swang between concern over exposing kids to such blue language, and immense amusement at their innocent karaoke I've never even heard of her. That's because you're not a 14-year-old girl. And thus goes the capsule review of Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday Reloaded concert it was everything a 14-year-old girl could have wanted.

Minaj is a singer and rapper whose frenetic vocal stylings and experiments in electro pop have seen her popularity soar in recent years - she's even done a duet with Justin Bieber. I took a friend, who also appreciates trashy pop/hip-hop, along to the Brisbane Entertainment Centre where the fans were out in force dressed in a style she described as trannie bingo. Minaj likes to...
