I didn't mind too much reading about it, but wow:

You've heard of American Idol in Germany? Damn, that's another country I need to remove from my list of countries to live in before I die :D

You can cross off Japan, then, too.

What's worse, Fox also broadcasts "So You Think You Can Dance" in Japan, where the show has been renamed "American Dance Idol."

Seriously.

You do realise American idol is just the Americanised version of Pop Idol which began in the UK, seeing as Germanies so close and receives a lot of BBC programming i would imagine they do.
 
American Idol? Noooooooooooooooooooooo!

Surely a sign of the impending apocalypse: The very worst of pop drivel infects Apple.
 
How sad you people are. Way to rally against a TV show you don't like. Most of you are whining louder than the peoople who got rejected from AI. They could make a show and call it "Weeping Fanboy!" I'd pay a fee to see the dramatic art of complaining played out on my HDTV, instead of just reading it on these forums. The pilot episode would be called "If only Steve listened to me..."

How many Germanies are there? One, I thought.
 
Not an AI fan by any means, but it is a rather popular show after all.

And Fox used to offer the downloads for 99c from the AI homepage. I wonder if it was successful or not in terms of number of downloads? I am sure iTunes will be a bigger revenue stream and it will be interesting to see how the AI content could possibly enter the charts if iTunes is counted- don't know if iTunes downlads are included in say Billboard or other charts, can someone help out?

Could be scary if 100,000 teenage girls all download the cute guy...

With shows like Firefly, Veronica Mars and Arrested Development getting canned the existence of shows like this offends me. It really does. What kind of people gobble up this garbage? It's lowest common denominator TV of the worst kind.

/wishes the general public would suddenly develop taste.
 
I *might* entertain the idea of buying one of these for a quarter. But the same price as real artists? Crazy.
