Shania Twain on American Idol: Did She Impress You Much?

From Latoya West, About.com GuideJanuary 19, 2010

Follow me on:

Shania Twain on American IdolShania Twain is the third guest judge we've seen at the American Idol judge's table since season nine began just last week. The country music superstar sat in with Randy, Simon, and Kara during the mostly-disappointing Chicago auditions, which were filmed last summer.

When it was first announced that Shania would be a temporary Idol judge, we thought the country music veteran would be the perfect music star to share her knowledge and experience during the audition rounds.

But from what we saw tonight, Shania didn't impart too much wisdom during her judging stint -- although she did offer some interesting compliments to one particular Idol hopeful.

Her remarks for 20-year-old college student John Park included: "You have a beautiful bottom end...You have nice lips...You have a good head." Um...We're thinking her remarks had something to do with music, but all of her giggling and twirling of her shirt string threw us off.

So, what did you think of Shania Twain's performance as an American Idol judge? Let us know in the poll!

I think you mis-understood Shania’s comments.

The “bottom end” she referred to was the bottom end of the guy’s vocal range, when the other judges start joking about it, she played along and start joking about the guy has a “nice head” too. She was not making sexual comments.

Her comment was very unprofessional. Being a judge puts her in a situation where sexual innuendos border on sexual harassment. Anyone who watched that bizzare and weird segment, and didn’t think EVERY comment she made, including, having a “good head” were all sexual innuendos, HAS THEIR BRAIN IN THEIR PANTS. She’s certainly not a stupid women, and knew exactly what she was saying. It was a very awkward and embarassing moment. Very disappointed that a classy woman would make those comments. Don’t think she’s good judge material.

Your opinion is not what most people think of the great Shania Twain’s performance.
Most thought she was great and energetic and gave great advice to the singers and also was funny and charming and brought a good vibe.
I don’t know what show you watched but Shania was fantastic last night.
