aliciagirl, 160 cm/5'3" is NOT really short, because it is only 1.6" shorter than the female average of 5'4.6". 5'3" is sometimes short, but most times, it's 5'2" & less. And the 'normal' range is not 165/5'5"-170/5'7" cm, the common range is more like 5'4"-5'6".

I'm 5'1.5" we'll talk short when someone can beat that. And i'm 23.

aliciagirl says on 23/May/08
160 cm is really short, i think normal is like 165-170 ..

Kendra says on 20/May/08
Grace83, For me is the other way, i look 5'7 but I'm 5'9

Holly says on 20/May/08
Rocky, I'm 5'3.I think 5'3 is short and 5'7 for a guy is short too..

TJ says on 19/May/08
J.Lee, I think you're nuts. The average height for a white girl is not 5'8. Not in a million years.

Viper says on 19/May/08
I think J. Lee is posting from a Mental Ward. 5-3 is bare under average.

Rocky says on 18/May/08
5'3'' is not short, just like 5'7'' isn't short for a guy. If you've ever been to Wal-Mart at 3 AM, there's tons of people there who are 5'2'' or so (men too btw) and weigh 280 lbs.

Viper says on 20/Apr/08
5-3 looks short from a 6-3 perspective though.

guamgirl says on 19/Apr/08
Wow, she seems so much taller especially standing next to Ryan Secrest.

grace83 says on 19/Apr/08
Exactly, 5'3" isn't short. It's average, normal. If you are under 5'1", then you are short.
It's stupid that some people call 5'3" short, and 5'5" noraml, since that you can' really tell the difference between a 5'3" person and a 5'5" person, unless they stand up straigth right next to each other. and then you will be able to see the little difference there is.
It's not about your actual height. It's about what people think you are.
I'm 5'8", but most people think i'm 5'9½"...:D

Why do people think that 5'3 si something you ' admit ' ! It's not even short!

Alex says on 23/Jan/08
Romo is 6'1-6'1 1/2 probably. Could be she was in heels maybe was why and then he could be 6'2.

Viper says on 5/Dec/07
Tony Romo must be closer to 6-0 than 6-2. Because he sure doesnt look 6-2 If shes 5-3.

El says on 20/Nov/07
5'3" is right, but there's this tabloid page I found that lists her as 5'4"

Mimi says on 19/Oct/07
Gosh I thought that she was 5'7
She looks so tall! Her legs are really long and thin!!!! I want her legs!

Kim says on 30/May/07
5'3 sounds exactly right to me. I bet she would be right at that mark if she was measured at the doctor's office.

Maya says on 29/May/07
The problem is that nowadays girls tend to compare themselves to 5'10" supermodels, and that makes even the average-sized girls think they're short.

Alex says on 28/May/07
She admits to 5'3 so she's not anything over 5'3.5. Plus she does look about average height for a female. You still have girls who are 5'4-5'5 and claim to be short which makes you think they're 5'2 or under.

Ace Young, who was in this season claimed: "I’m 6’1" and is made to look short by his 6ft 7 brother."

I saw Ace Young in person, and he is definitely not 6'1". He was with his brother, and his brother was indeed towering, but Ace was the same height as me, about 5'10".

roxanne says on 7/Nov/06
extra at her concert she is 5'3" flat

Justine says on 3/Apr/06
5'4" and 5'5" are about the same thing, so either way shes about the same height, theres no need to argue over one inch

Kats says on 8/Jul/05
Ha ha ha ha, 5'5 1/2? Maybe with certain heels. Something about her seems short, but she is probably 5'4, which is average.

Lawrence says on 13/Jun/05
Judging by her body frame, the height from her waist to her neck and her legs, Carrie (the cutie) is 5'5 1/2" definitely.

JS says on 27/May/05
Hmm, true but I'd still knock her down at least a half-inch. I think that'd be pretty safe.

JS says on 27/May/05
Me neither, she was 1.5-2" shorter than Seacrest in heels and he is not 5'9" (he could use a change too, see comments)

I'd venture to say 5'2.5 - 5'3

[Editor Rob: sometimes the angles on Idol can de-emphasise height differences...she is harder to pin down because sometimes with her jeans covering Big heels]
