JoJo Siwa Has One Critique About Chloe Fineman’s SNL Impersonation of Her (Exclusive)
JoJo Siwa will forever be a fan of Chloe Fineman, even if she continues to impersonate her on Saturday Night Live.
PEOPLE caught up with the Dance Moms alum, 21, at the 11th Annual American Reality Television Awards, where she revealed that she’s a fan of Fineman’s portrayal of her on the late-night sketch comedy show — but has one critique.
“I think she needs to be a little more full out in the dance, but other than that, everything was perfect,” said Siwa at the Monday, Nov. 18 event.
The singer was referring to Fineman’s portrayal of her from the episode on Saturday, Nov. 16, in which she impersonated Siwa auditioning for Wicked.
The sketch showed Fineman, 36, wearing a leather bodysuit similar to the one Siwa wore in her “Karma” music video, but with pink fabric.
“I may be a good witch, but I’m still a bad girl,” says Fineman during the sketch after singing a verse from the song “Popular” from the Broadway musical and doing a short dance.

Siwa tells PEOPLE that Fineman – who has previously impersonated her on the show — “nails it every time.”
When asked if she’s shared her sentiments directly with Fineman, the former child star reveals that she hasn’t yet, “but I do need to reach out and tell her that I’m honored again.”
In March, Siwa told PEOPLE at the 2024 GLAAD Awards that she was ready to be “criticized” during her “transition” into adulthood following her Dance Moms fame.
“I’ve seen people before me make this transition, I’ve seen how much I loved it, and I’ve seen also how much the world has criticized us, so I am ready for that. One thing that I think no one’s done is given the heads-up,” she said, referring to a series of Instagram posts she previously made about her new content that is “not made for children.”

“It was important to me to give that heads-up and be like, look, if you follow along, that’s all you. If you want to go, now’s your time. But in the best way possible, now’s your time,” continued Siwa.
