Well that was memorable! Nicki Minaj busts out of a low cut top on American Idol... before cheekily asking J-Lo to 'scoot over' for a place on the judging panel

She regularly wows fans with her eye catching choice of outfits and energetic performances.
And tonight, Nicki Minaj's appearance on American Idol was no less memorable, with the 29-year-old singer flashing the flesh in a multi-coloured low cut crop top, which shows off her curves to the maximum.
Teamed with a rainbow coloured skirt which was slashed at the front, Minaj wowed the audience with an enthusiastic rendition of her new song Starships.

A blonde curly long wig and high heeled sandals completed the rainbow coloured look as the songstress pranced around the stage in front of a menagerie of dancers.

But that wasn't the end of the Nicki Minaj show.
The singer went on to plug her new album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, which will be released next Friday, before cheekily pitching for a guest judge spot on the top rated talent show.

Any room? Minaj cheekily pitched in for a spot at the judge's table after performing her song.
'I was hoping maybe I could come back and be a guest judge,' Minaj declared from the stage during an interview with host Ryan Seacrest, before adding: 'J-Lo, can you scoot over a little bit?'

A smiling Lopez retorted: 'I don't know if there's enough room for both of us.'
Later, the star told the Hollywood reporter that she and J-Lo 'were just joking around.'
Minaj said: 'She didn't seem to be having it but she gonna have it! No, actually, I love J-Lo. I love what she's done for pop culture I have nothing but respect for her and we were just joking around.

Queen of the dance floor: The singer performed her new song Starship with gusto with a group of dancers

'I'm sure I'll have lots of fun with them when I'm guest judging.'
However, Lopez may be glad to hear that the singer  wouldn't be able to commit to being on the show every week.
'Something like American Idol, it's iconic and has been around for so long and created so many stars,' said Minaj. 'I would love to (guest judge) but as far as sitting down every week, I can't.'
Tonight's show saw Heejun Han eliminated, leaving eight contestants remaining.

Making her mark: Minaj ensured she plugged the release of her new album  after her high octane show
