Posted August 18, 200915 yr August 17, 2009 First Posh, then Mary J. Blige — and now Shania Twain? We’re hearing that the country superstar might take a seat next to Simon Cowell as a guest judge at upcoming American Idol auditions. Twain may fill Paula Abdul’s vacant spot on the judging panel in Chicago on Aug. 30-31. Blige teamed up with the Idol crew in Atlanta, while Victoria Beckham filled in for Abdul in Boston earlier this month. -–Lisa Ingrassia and Anne Marie Cruz Source Sounds cool :D

September 3, 200915 yr Author SHANIA TWAIN IS AN IDOL http://www.fadedyouthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/shania-twain-idol1.jpg Looking as goregous as ever, Shania Twain happily posed alongside some pop star wannabes as she played the role of guest judge for American Idol during Chicago auditions yesterday (August 31). Slowly but surely, the 44-year-old country singer is making a comeback after taking years off following a string of uber successful albums. Miss Twain sounded chatty and upbeat in a note posted to her fans over the weekend on her website, as she opened up for the first time since her marriage to Mutt Lange ended more than a year ago. The split came when he took up with her longtime best friend, Marie-Anne Thiebaud, who also managed the couple’s chateau in Switzerland. “I’m ‘okay’ - yes, I hit a very big bump in the road, but Eja (her 8-year-old son) and I are doing well. … ” Shania also posted a video of her recent travels, starting with sky diving in Key West. “I feel very much alive and well. … Living, loving, laughing and dreaming have become highest on my list of priorities. … I consider myself on a journey of discovery and recovery,” she says. “I don’t accept to be held down by the past, nor do I expect too much of the future.” With her on that journey right now is Thiebaud’s ex-husband, Frederic “Fred” Thiebaud, whom Shania calls “a dear friend and true gentleman.” Source Another pic :wub: :wub: :wub: http://www.fadedyouthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/shania-twain-idol2.jpg

January 19, 201015 yr Author Shania Twain headed to a TV near you Hey, hey, hey, we finally have an air date for Shania Twain's 'American Idol' guest appearance. Back in August of last year Shania had hit Chicago to take the seat as a guest judge on the Fox show but had never found out when we could actually watch the episode. Well it's finally been announced that the show will debut January 12th with Shania's episode airing January 19th. Shania took part judging the auditions, you know, one of the the OMG-I-can't-believe-they-wore that/sang that/said that/sounded like that episodes. And speaking of Shania, her 1997 CD Come On Overhas been surpassed as the best-selling album of the Nielsen SoundScan era by Metallica's self-titled 1991 album. Boooooooo!!!!! 'Metallica' has now sold 15,490,000 copies, putting it at number one on Nielsen's release-to-date chart while 'Come On Over' has sold 15,487,000 units to date. But never fear, Shania still holds the top-selling-album-by-a-female-artist spot so all is still right in the world. Now if we could just get a new album out of the lady things would really be good.
January 22, 201015 yr Author Here are some articles from Google talking about Shania Twain's "American Idol" guest judge role in Tuesday's (Jan. 19) "Idol" audition show: Jan 19 2010 9:25 PM EST 'American Idol' Guest Judge Shania Twain: Where Has She Been? The singer makes her first television appearance in nearly two years on Tuesday. By Jocelyn Vena Shania Twain sat at the judges' table Tuesday night (January 19) to help Kara DioGuardi, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell pick the best talent in Chicago for "American Idol." She joins a long list of celebrity panelists, including Victoria Beckham and Mary J. Blige, as well as upcoming guests Katy Perry, Joe Jonas and Neil Patrick Harris. Her guest spot on the show marks her first high-profile public appearance in more than a year. Her last album, 2002's Up!, spawned a few smaller hits in the title track and "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" She also toured in support of the album and launched two perfumes, Shania by Stetson and Shania Starlight. During that time off she divorced Mutt Lange, officially ending their marriage in 2008. At the time, the singer released a statement on her Web site about the split, saying, "I need some time to heal this broken heart but make no mistake; I will be back and hopefully stronger than ever." The five-time Grammy winner first broke on the scene in mid-'90s with radio hits like "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?" She hit the big time with her 1997 release, Come on Over, containing such megahits as "You're Still the One," "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" and "That Don't Impress Me Much." Now with eight years of distance between her last release and her appearance on "American Idol," fans are wondering when the country-crossover queen plans to return to the studio. As of January 2009, a rep for the singer said that she had no immediate plans to release new music. Get your "Idol" fix on MTV News' "American Idol" page, where you'll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions. American Idol Season 9 - Chicago Auditions with Guest Judge Shania Twain (Recap) January 19, 2010 09:55 PM EST views: 15 Hello Idol fanatics! We're back for the 3rd Audition city of Season 9. Sweet Home Chicago!! Maybe, I'm getting nostalgic of this being the first season without Paula and the last season with Simon (a true sign that "change is gonna come"), but I really am enjoying these crazy auditions this year. Talk to me again next week as we get into our 3rd week of this and I may be singing a different tune. But, I also am enjoying the guest judges too. And, I totally think they dropped the ball on picking up Shania Twain FULL time! She was fantastic the whole episode! And ironically, both she and Paula have been questioned on their actual vocal talent. It's perfect! No disrespect from me though, I still anxiously await her next album! Anyway, there was only a handful of contestants that made it to Hollywood through the Chicago circuit (13 to of 12,000 to be exact. Although one auditionee could've sworn there was 1 million people there. Ummm). So, we got to see a whole lot of bad as well. But nothing that stood out as much as the "PANTS ON THE GROUND" Phenomenon! If you missed out on everything check out my posts here: THE ORIGINAL AUDITION General Larry Platt Performing Live on the VIEW, Plus Brett Favre singing the song after the Vikings Victory Will any audition match Larry Platt's nation-wide anthem to pull up those pants? We'll have to keep watching to find out! In the meantime, here is the Chicago Audition Highlights: Hollywood Bound Katelyn Epperly - 19 - from West Des Moines, IA - Cute curly Blonde girl that kicked off the show. Her dad left her mom, things are nice and dramatic for the Epperly's. Mom has convinced Katelyn to audition. She sang Duffy's "Syrup and Honey" to which Shania brilliantly chimed in with "YUM!" Gotta love that woman! And, we might just have to love Katelyn as well! She had a soft voice, but it was very good. The Idol cameras showed a lot of her this episode, so be prepared to see more in the Hollywood Rounds and perhaps even the Top 24! I have one piece of advice and I wish Carly Smithson would have taken it, cover up that NASTY Tattoo on your back! No one wants to see that! (although, Carly was by far worse in this category letting her husband ink her up everywhere) Charity Vance - 16 - From Little Rock, AK - This was the girl whose parents own and run a salon in their house. Okay, WHAT? Now, please no one get offended, but if you have a father who is working in a salon, you have to start questioning how you were born right?! But, we'll just stay tuned to see how this story progresses. Charity was your classic 16 year old singing a classic tune, "Summertime". I was no Fantasia fan, but it's a bold move to sing that song for Simon when he clearly loved the former's version on Idol. She was good and had some really good range. But, here's my take on the situation. She learned this song for a high school talent show, and that's all she can sing really really well! She will have no versatility in song choices and will inevitably fail. Do I sound like a broken record? So do most of the 16 year olds on Idol! Angela Martin - 28 - from Chicago, IL - Well, this girl was inevitably going to Hollywood. She has already been there twice before. The first time her father was killed and she had to leave and the 2nd time she had to show up in court for a speeding ticket. A pretty rough road for a girl looking for a break. She sang Mary J. Blige's "Just Fine" and the judges ate it up, saying she improves each time they see her. The Idol machine is clearly going to push her as far as they can and hope that America latches on to the big sympathy story. She was good, but I wasn't floored. John Park - 20 - from Northbrook, IL - The world is still looking for the first Asian American Idol. Could John be him? Probably not, but the student did impress Shania Twain into a bumbling disaster. Of course, it was hysterical because everything she said had a certain "inneundo" about it. "You have a beautiful bottom end." I mean "Nice Tone down there" and her twirling the strings on her blouse was a good time too! As for John yeah, he had some good range and a good voice too. I'll wait to hear more! But, someone please fire Ellen and hire SHANIA!!! Paige Dechausse - 21 from Morris, IL - Sob story about the asthma attack she had at 15. She only had a 30% chance of survival and if she did survive she would most likely be brain damaged. But Mom came to the rescue with music and earphones to keep her going! In the audition she sang Sam Cook's "Change is Gonna Come" (an audition staple). It was pretty decent. The judges were split on it, but the girls convinced Randy to let her into Hollywood to prove herself. They advised to show some personality next time. I thought she was good enough to make it to Hollywood without the indulgent comment from Simon, but whatever! She's in. Now, I'm not crowning her Idol or anything. We'll just need to see more! We saw clips of a few more that got in: Justin Ray - 20 and Unemployed - All I could think about when I saw him was the SOUL GLOW hair from Coming to America! Good singer though. Keith Semple - 27 with a guitar by his side - He sang some Bryan Adams with a raspy voice and all. I've been wrong before, but I doubt he'll go very far. But he could be a unique voice this season. Marcus Jones - 18 from Gary, IN - He sang Edwin McCain's "I'll Be" and from we heard very well! THE BAD Not many highlights really: There was the "MY NAME IS KENNY" guy The Accordian Lady with Blue hair The pageant girl that said "THANK YOU VERY MUCH" with the super fake smile made me laugh There was a parade of Profanity from Chicago rejects. Amy Lang with the "Boob Flex" was um...."interesting" Curly Newbern singing that Maxwell tune was funny because it made Simon crack up. But Shania watched the whole time and held it back! Take notes Mary J. Blige! That high voice was awesome! Brian Krause who Tip Toed to Tiny Tim? That was just bizarre and disturbing more than funny! Harold Davis - Everything was wrong with this starting with the Idol Producers picking the Rocky Theme for the Chicago man. But yeah, his vocals on Usher were awful. And the judges' comments reduced him to tears. awwww sorry champ! want to fight for glory...longest note ever....the champ is here! "nice and slow" usher what??? So, the main thing I learned tonight? Shania Twain for JUDGE! But not to replace Simon, just ELLEN! And also, keep an eye on Katleyn Epperly. We'll be seeing her again. Wednesday night is Orlando and it looks like we may have some juicy BAD auditions if anything. I'll be there recapping the episode in all of its glory! I didn't see a guest judge on the previews, so I guess we will have to wait and see. Hope you enjoyed my ramblings and see you for the next recap! 'American Idol' says yes to 13 from Chicago auditions Curt Wagner on 01.19.10 at 8:45 PM "American Idol" audition show--unless you count the laughs. And the high-pitched, crazy-bad singing. Just 13 people who auditioned in the Chicago earned golden tickets to the Hollywood rounds. That's a surprisingly small number considering that host Ryan Seacrest said Chicago had the largest audition crowd of the circuit last summer. It's not surprising if you consider the audition of Pittsburgh resident Brian Krause, who tried to sing the Tiny Tim classic "Tip-toe Through the Tulips," but instead simply offended judge Simon Cowell. Cowell said that Krause had to be joking, but Krause, calling Simon "Mr. Cowell," insisted he wasn't. Even guest judge Shania Twain, who was mostly nice throughout the entire Chicago ordeal, couldn't keep a straight face. But Kara DioGuardi who had the best reaction: "Tip-toe that way," she said as she pointed Krause to the door. Chicagoan Harold Davis was sure he was going to earn a golden ticket. "When I walk into the judges room I'm going to shoot off like a rocket...," he said. "I'm going to show that I'm the best. The champ is here. The champ is here." Then he sang, or tried to sing, Usher's "Nice & Slow." "For now, it's an absolute 'no,'" Simon said, and Harold broke down in tears. "Harold, come on, chin up." It wasn't John Park's chin that Twain noticed. "You have a beautiful bottom end," Twain said, causing Randy Jackson to snicker. She explained she meant the lower range of his voice, but added: "You have nice lips." The college student from Northbrook made it to Hollywood, and Twain decided she needed to be more careful in her choice of words.
May 1, 201015 yr Shania mentored on American Idol recently and she did great. :wub: They had a Shania theme week.
