The one where guest judge Shania Twain not only complimented his singing, but his “nice lips” and his “beautiful bottom end.” Unfortunately, the 21-year-old from Evanston, Ill. — the guy who looked like…

Hey, did everyone notice the change in the American Idol judging arrangement this week? When the semifinals started last week, Ellen was seated at the end of the judges’ table, to Randy Jackson’s right. And the judges took turns going first when it came time to critique contestants.
