Asked if she was starting out today, would she try out forIdol,X FactororThe Voice,the "Super Bass" singer said matter-of-factly, "No, I wouldn't. It's very verydifficult to be picked apart. I have to give it to the people thatdo these shows -- it takes a lot of heart, it takes guts, that rejectionthing is heavy."

And since she was catapulted to fame on her own (with a big assist from Lil Wayne), how will she quantify success of her second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, which is scheduled for release on April 3?
Says Minaj: "I'm blessed to put out an album that is not one-dimensional. I'm not boxed in, the world has given me the opportunityto express myself in lots of different genres of music. ...I'm truly showing myself, as oppose to feeling I haveto do this because someone says I have to do this. That's how Imeasure success."
