What do you think of having a separate "American Idol" for each country in the world?

Wow... what a brilliant idea... only... its already been done! even American idol is a copy of the original Pop Idol from the UK. \n\nIn the UK a few years ago they even showed World Idol where they basically put all the winners of the Idol series around the world together and chose a World Idol. I think the winner was some ugly dude from Finland or Sweden. He sang U2's beautiful day. \n\nKelly Clarkson didn't compete in the World Idol series... perhaps she thought she was too good? or she didn't need the extra publicity?

Your idea is excellent... now if we merge it with Real World / Road Rules... we will truly have a reality blockbuster on our hands.\n\nI hope Simon Cowell judges the competition, "You are the worst politician I have ever heard in my life.  Don't quit your day job."

I loved Chris, as most of America did, and thought he was guaranteed the win.  At this point, I really hope Taylor wins.  Katherine is an ok singer most of the time, but she is very inconsistent in her performances.  My friends at the karaoke pub usually do as well as she does, depending on how much they've had to drink:)  However, America is so wrapped up in looks and the "total package" that I think Kat will win because she looks the part.

I agree with you. Why can we have one and not any other countries! good point.

Is the question: Are you for it or against it?  I'm not European but looking at how many different countries and different cultures make up the European continent, I don't think we should just lump them all up into one.  I believe they would want their own identities and would like to keep their heritage alive.  Although it is well-meaning and optimistic to believe we should all be one and call ourselves citizens of the world, alas, that is not the case.  We are still culturally divided and as human beings inherently attached to tradition and view our past as well our future tied up to who we are and where we come from.

nah, don't think that will happen. America will always have different nationalities, religions, or whatever.

My top 3 faves are McPhee, Pickler and Chris -- it's tough to predict the actual winner.  I think if McPhee can build a bigger fan base, she could have a good shot.  I think both Pickler and Chris are very one sided -- they only know how to sing one type of music -- they haven't shown much diversity.  McPhee's got the look and the talent.  It's obvious the judges like her and I think she's growing on America.  They're making her out to be a very American girl with an ideal family upbringing - very positive spin.  I think Pickler's naivety is going to start to bug people - it's cute, but only for so long.  I like Chris, but like I said, he only sings rock songs.

Check out their website, and if you cannot find out how to on the website, I'm sure you should be able to call them. Good luck getting into American Idol!

I think that he should be the next American Idol because he's good and at least he's going to bring a different music into the program. Although I prefer pop music but it could be a good change for rock music. Plus, his voice is good too...and his looks! He has the idol look!

America has a nasty habit of getting involved in matters that do not directly affect us.  This is a huge cause of contention with other nations.  When America is so divided (and not united as promised), they feel that we shouldn't have any right in telling them how to live.  Americans are also very self-involved.  We think of ourselves first and others last.  Americans also tend to think in terms that the world revolves around them not realizing that there are many other cultures out there.  We forget that other countries have different laws and standards than America and generally, Americans just don't care.  This is why other countries have hatred towards Americans and the government.

I think that it depends on the show. What works for one show may not work for another. I think public voting only is ok, BUT I think the votes should be limited to only one vote per person. Take American Idol for example. one vote and one text per phone number. It would make the results more accurate and it would give people a chance to vote that can never get through.

America is at one of it's lowest in popularity (next maybe to that maid with open legs of a country supposedly governed by blair), you'd have to do a lot to improve on the Public opinion of your country in the eyes of the world as well as the Americans themselves.\nAlso, just stop the bush from putting his foot in the mouth everytime he open it.\nst
