Miley Cyrus Mentors American Idol Contestants?

American Idol's season 9 is in full swing and has been nothing but full of surprises. Having Ellen Degeneres as the new Idol judge might have been a shocker, but what was perhaps even more shocking was that they got 17-year old Miley Cyrus to mentor the 11 remaining contestants last night.

With the talent possessed by the 11 'Idols' there really wasn't so much Cyrus could say (except for when she commented on Paige's pitch issues), but she did give advice on how they could improve their stage presence. No doubt the 17-year old is a hit success, especially among the younger teenagers. But some question if she was qualified to give advice, seeing as she's only 17.

Nevertheless, the pop star will take on the Idol stage tonight to perform. Also scheduled to appear are Disney stars, Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato.
