" When you are Nicki Minaj, every day is Friday.  Nicki&amp;#039;s Pink Friday Tour stopped at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City this week for an exclusive show for only 1,500 of her &amp;quot;super-fans.&amp;quot; Nicki pumped up the crowd by starting out behind the curtain (which was a super-cute pink house with Nicki&amp;#039;s name on it!) and chanting that &amp;quot;in the nation of Pinkslam through peace and love a warrior was born, the chosen one, the king.&amp;quot; She then introduced the audience to one of her many alter egos &amp;quot;Roman,&amp;quot; who was sent to Earth to defeat the evil force nemesis and started out the show with her track &amp;quot;Roman&amp;#039;s Revenge.&amp;quot; Her two-hour long show included a set list jam-packed with some of Nicki&amp;#039;s biggest hits, from &amp;quot;Moment 4 Life&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Turn Me On&amp;quot; to her newest single &amp;quot;Pound the Alarm&amp;quot; where she sprayed her fans with a graffiti water gun. During the show, Nicki intimately addressed the crowd and even offered some advice. Before serenading everyone with her ballad &amp;quot;Save Me,&amp;quot; Nicki revealed that she wrote that song &amp;quot;for people you don&amp;#039;t realize you need until they are gone.&amp;quot; However, she didn&amp;#039;t stay serious for long. Nicki was having such a blast being back in her hometown (she grew up in Queens!) that she covered some of her favorite artists like Beyonc\u00E9. Plus, she brought out special guests Lil Wayne and Drake to sing &amp;quot;The Motto&amp;quot; with! What would a Nicki Minaj concert be without the outrageous costumes and wigs we love her for? Nicki had four costume changes: she started out sporting a long, wavy blond wig and a blue and beige striped leotard, later changing into a white studded top with super-cute pink zebra tights and a white tutu, then swapped her wig for a short pink curly one and donned a long, elegant pink and white frock. Finally, Nicki brought back her original look from her pre-Harajuku Barbie days and wore a long black wig with a black lace bodysuit and red leather jacket. The Barbz were treated to a special encore performance of Nicki&amp;#039;s first hit &amp;quot;Superbass,&amp;quot; and Nicki reflected on her how far her career has come. As the confetti rained on the throng of screaming fans, Nicki offered up one more piece of advice. &amp;quot;Go to school and graduate,&amp;quot; she urged them. &amp;quot;They can say whatever they want to about you, but they can&amp;#039;t take [an education] away from you - be ambitious, don&amp;#039;t depend on anyone, get stuff done.&amp;quot; What was the coolest concert you&amp;#039;ve ever been to? Which artists are you dying to see perform live? Sound off in the comments section! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
