"Nothing wrong with a little diva skirmish!\r\nSpeaking Wednesday morning on his radio show, American Idol host Ryan Seacrest gave an insider&amp;apos;s view on Nicki Minaj&amp;apos;s expletive-ridden freakout at&amp;#xA0; Mariah Carey during Idol auditions in Charlotte, NC on Tuesday.\r\n&amp;quot;These are all very different individuals with different perspectives and different opinions that provide for interesting conversation and dialogue and feedback for the contestants,&amp;quot; Seacrest reasoned during On Air With Ryan Seacrest of Minaj, Carey, fellow newbie Keith Urban and stalwart Randy Jackson.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;[There&amp;apos;s] nothing wrong with disagreeing . . . That&amp;apos;s gonna happen, and it&amp;apos;s okay,&amp;quot; he continued of the spat, in which Minaj and Carey had a difference of opinion over one would-be singer toward the very end of a long day of auditions.\r\n&amp;quot;I told them I&amp;apos;m not f**kin&amp;apos; putting up with her f**king highness over there. Figure it the f**k out. Figure it out,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Starships&amp;quot; rapper sniped.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;It got heated between Nicki and Mariah,&amp;quot; admitted Seacrest, who was outside the auditorium during the dust-up. &amp;quot;It was intense! I&amp;apos;ll be honest with you . .. It went far last night. It did get intense.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nBut Seacrest argued that passionate debate is exactly what Idol needs. &amp;quot;We want that! We want them to be on this panel together. This is a good team, a great team, to go out and look for the next American Idol . . . the feedback that they give is very good.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
