According to a source close to the singer, Shania Twain is being considered as a season 10 American Idol judge. The singer has apparently been on the top of FOX‘s list for quite some time. The source said:

“They’ve been after her ever since she was a mentor on the show last season. And they haven’t given up.”

Last season, Twain was a guest judge in Chicago during the audition process. She also mentored contestants on the show in April. The source added:

“Shania’s a huge fan of the show and she had a great time as a mentor.”

Yesterday, it was announced that Jennifer Lopez is out of the running as a replacement. At this point, I think, like I suggested yesterday, they should bring back Paula Abdul. Bring that crazy woman back! I NEED Paula. Just imagine Paula and Steven Tyler together. Drugs, love, and sparkly head wraps. Somebody hire me at FOX already.

I’m not knockin’ Shania. She would be a great judge too. Nobody can deny the fact that the woman can sing. She’s pretty to look at, but not crazy enough for my liking. Her rep had no comment as to whether or not she would be joining the show.
