There's a new American Idol 'promo' thing with Nicki Minaj

There's a new American Idol pro­mo­tional video that features Nicki Minaj.

She bangs on about all that stock mentor/judge chat, giving "normal people a dream" and blah blah blah.

Unfortunately there's no footage of her LOLfest with Mariah, apols.

American Idol starts on January 16 in, con­tro­ver­sially, America.
