Josh's singles countdown thread and the rate thread got me thinking, because the poppier songs and even the slow ballads where she sings are doing much better than I would have expected. I'm thinking perhaps more people here are general pop fans who also like a bit of Nicki, instead of people who were mainly rap fans first? That's only a thought I had though, the question is open.

Added in a poll!

Mostly dance of course! (Nicki did have a few dance songs of course as well as urban and pop!) Can you add a poll please?

Added in a little poll (hope you don't mind Jupiter) as I agree with Snake that it would be pretty interesting to see the results.

 

I do like a fair few of her mixtape songs and proper hip-hop/urban since then but I think pop Nicki is probably the one I enjoy the most personally. She definitely sounds most at home on urban tracks though in my opinion and is definitely the sort of sound she should be making.

No dance option in the poll (Turn Me On, Hey Mama as examples)?

Well to answer the title question, dance music. Though I think Nicki should stick to doing urban music at the moment, my favourite Nicki songs are her dance-pop ones. Exceptions being Hey Mama/Super Bass/Light My Body Up which are all crap.

'Turn Me On' was great though! Love the buildup especially, Nicki's vocal is excellent in it too and she has a lovely nice singing bit in the bridge which is quite emotive! Hey Mama was quite good, I thought, Light My Body Up wasn't great I agree.

Indeed, I love 'Turn Me On'. Shame her other Guetta collabs haven't been good though (I'm not keen on 'Where Them Girls At' either but it's not as tragic as HM/LMBU).

Those dance ones are all awful. I prefer her urban ones but most of her pop ones are amazing too.

I prefer urban music in general though!

Nicki's rap in 'Where Them Girls At' is iconic though! Easily the best bit of the song tbh.

For me, definitely urban #1. Dance #2, tho its hit and miss for me. Pop a VERY distant third. But that's just my music taste in general in a nutshell. Poll was a good idea to add, I agree, interesting, and a good format to it too.

 

Light My Body Up/Hey Mama also easily my favourite of her dance songs lol, but that's probably because they've a more urban sound to them.

 

On a different note though this poll (and even the forum in general) has been pretty eye opening to me as why Nicki continues to make the pop and slower songs - they're actually pretty popular! I had always assumed the label was encouraging or forcing her to just for diversity.

Pop. Some of her pop songs are some of the best pop songs in years. Her Urban tracks don't get old for me, but a lot of the time I don't LOVE them. Her dance ones vary and are mostly on a song to song basis. Even when I end up loving it, I get tired of it quite quickly.
