Shakira Impersonation By Request on IDOL

Perla Meneses is an immigrant from Central America, who performed "Call Me" by Blondie as her American Idol audition. Part of the way through that song, Simon Cowell requested that she try Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie" (possibly because of her similar appearance to Shakira).

I have no doubt that this was not a spur of the moment thing. People wait for hours for Idol auditions and during that time they are sometimes filmed and observed by the shows producers. I would not be surprised if a lot of decisions are made before a singer enters that room. I think that baring a complete meltdown, Perla was in before she entered the room.
