What happened to UK pop idol?
370865
Pop Idol has been sold all around the world, the most popular version is probably American Idol in the US.\n\nAlthough the first series was popular, launching the career of Will Young, the second series didn't seem to do as well. ITV launched a new show, X-Factor which also featured Simon Cowell but this time involved groups as well as solo singers. This seems to have been much more successful, but as they were made by different production companies (for the same network) there was a legal battle over the format.

well i dont think they should change their name. its not nice to insult cats you know. \nand yes it probly was tactical simon cowell has ablot of money at stake in x-factor and not only needs his bands to win but needs the money from the voters too. if there is such a rubbish band in then people will vote them more to try and get them out and in turn more cash goes in simon cowells pocket!\nv-unfair

Here in England we watch American Idol on ITV 2 but it is broadcast after it has been broadcast in the US ie. WE DO NOT SEE IT LIVE HERE.( it is on the Friday evening 8.30 pm to 11.10 pm or on Sunday evening around 7pm. It is a double bill programme with the performances followed by the results. Hope this helps. I love the prog. Sorry Chris got voted off though.

I heard on the news that he got kicked off because of lack of votes. The story is a lady tried to call the #'s given and 1 ended up being a sex chat. And the other number was like out of service. The lady redialed the numbers 1 at a time and double checked and still the same thing. The network denies it and refuses a recount. \nI think he got kicked off cuz ppl think he was a mokery of the "pop music" show w/ his rock personality.He would have gone far!!\nHe was awsome!!!

Totally heart broken and completely pissed! His fans majorly failed him and you could see it in his reaction. He is an awesome singer not to mention HOT. He doesn't sway from the music he believes in. That says a lot about him. We haven't seen the last of him. He's gonna be around for a long time! Nobody's loss but American Idol's!

OMG, yes they cancelled it and I am so bummed!  Even though it wasn't some great save the world kind of show, it was fun and I really enjoyed it.  \n\nOn a side note, I saw Jesse McCartney when he did his mall tour, it was November 28, 2004 and he is such a doll.  Way too young for me but such a sweetheart.  He performed a few songs and then signed autographs.  I especially enjoyed watching him with the youngest fans.  There were a few little girls that came through, probably around 4 or 5 years old.  He had the sweetest expression on his face and made them feel welcome.  I hope he hasn't changed since he has become more popular.\n\nI miss that show!

Chris was the only one who's progress I paid attention to, so I was shocked and disappointed at first...not so much anymore...cuz the boy has got it.  I'm sure you know by now that Fuel has offered him a spot singing for them.  If he had won the contest the folks at "Idol" would have owned him for the next who knows how many years...so the way I see it he's much better off.

Because this competition is fixed. There's no reason that Chris should have gone home when Katherine forgot her lyrics. How the hell else could something like that happen unless the show is fixed? I agree, Chris Daughtry was my favourite too. I was hoping it would be between him and Taylor Hicks. I was SURE that either Elliot Yamin, or Katherine McPhee was going to go home last night. Now that Chris is gone I'm not sure I even want to watch it anymore. He was set up. \n\nC'mon think about it. The show before last was an obvious example of how corrupt this competition is...when Paula CRIED for Elliot, and yet Katherine was DOGGED by all 3 judges when she did REALLY WELL that night, and didn't get recognition till the next day AFTER votes were made. That's just ludicrous! I don't think I'll be watching anymore seasons of this show in the future.

UK has one as it started there.\n\nSouth Africa, Poland, Nederlands, Deutschland, Norway, Lebanon, Belgium and Australia all had Idol shows. Whether they still have them is beyond me.

No that ended a long time ago....in 1994. I used to watch the show as a kid and I loved it. I think there is a DVD that shows the best of Christina, Justin and Britney on MMC.

It's up in the air right now, all I know is that they're recording currently and they won't settle for mediocre songs.\n\nAnd no, they didn't break up.
