'American Idol': Kristin Chenoweth -- how'd she do?

kristin-chenoweth-american-.jpg"American Idol" welcomed another great guest judge Wednesday night -- Broadway baby Kristin Chenoweth.

Kristin Chenoweth is best known in theatre cicles for originating the role of Glinda in "Wicked" on Broadway.

On TV, she won an Emmy for "Pushing Daisies" and recently guest-starred on "Glee." Below is a video of one of her performances on "Pushing Daisies."




How did she do on "American Idol," though? We thought she was as good as last night's guest judge Shania Twain, which makes the two of them the best so far. Chenoweth was delightfully funny with Kara DioGuardi and had some nice comments for the contestants.

We think it's a shame Victoria Beckham got two hours, Mary J. Blige got 90 minutes and Shania Twain and Kristin Chenoweth each only got an hour.

So how did Kristin do? Vote now!

cute but not as good as Shania!

Best so far. Kristin Chenoweth is a professionally trained singer with incredible vocal talent. She really knows what she's talking about, and you can tell. She was fantastic.

aww, she was adorable.

i don't know if i liked shania or kristin better—they were different but both amazing!

it was so lame that they each only got an hour. plus, kristin was only there for one day. : ((

I love Kristen Chenoweth on Pushing Daisies and Glee, (very much, actually), but when it comes to guest judging on Idol, Shania is still the best judge by far.

Kristen is cute and lovely, but all she did on tonight's show was goofing around with Kara and saying some nice things to contestants, and that is not good judging. It is bland and forgettable.

How can there be a better judge than Shania, who had to do for herself what Idol does for it,s contestants, while supporting her siblings?

Kristen only got half the show...

Wasn't on long enough to tell.

Kristen and Shania are such a huge step up from Posh or Mary because they seemed involved, they had things to say, and it looked like they were paying attention.

Bad night for Kara to bust out the low-cut dress, though; compared to Kristen's easy glamor, it looked like Kara was trying way too hard.

She was on for less than 20minutes.. wth.. but she was awesome while she was there.
