JoJo Siwa will forever be a fan of Chloe Fineman, even if she continues to play her on Saturday night live.
PEOPLE caught up Dance moms alum, 21, at the 11th annual American Reality Television Awards, where she revealed she’s a fan of Fineman’s portrayal of her on the late-night sketch comedy show — but she has one criticism.
“I think she needs to be a little fuller in the dance, but other than that, everything was perfect,” Siwa said at the event on Monday, November 18.

The singer was referring to Fineman’s portrayal of her from the Saturday, Nov. 16 episode, in which she auditioned to play Siwa for Wicked.
The sketch shows Fineman, 36, in a leather bodysuit similar to the one Siwa wore in her “Karma” music video, but with pink fabric.
“I might be a good witch, but I’m still a bad girl,” Fineman says during the skit after singing a line from the Broadway musical’s “Popular” and doing a little dance.

Siwa tells PEOPLE that Fineman — who previously played her on the show — “hits it every time.”
When asked if she’s shared her feelings directly with Fineman, the former child star reveals that she hasn’t yet, “but I have to reach out and tell her I’m honored again.”
In March, Siwa told PEOPLE at the 2024 GLAAD Awards that she’s ready to be “criticized” during her upcoming “transition” into adulthood Dance Moms glory.

“I saw people before me who made this transition, I saw how much I liked it, and I saw how much the world criticized us, so I’m ready for it. One thing I don’t think anyone has done is warn,” she said, referring to a series of Instagram posts she previously made about her new “not intended for children” content.
