Foreign Idols and such

Foreign Idols: that's what I've been doing with most of my free time lately... aside from trying still to get everything put in it's correct place, and ready for a puppy. I bought my dog crate today... OMG - is this is going to be a large dog. The dog is probably going to be about the same as my couch. It's weird when you put things into perspective like that. I promise I'll post some pictures once I've gotten the puppy. (To be fair, I don't know if it'll be a puppy, we'll see what I come out of Second Chance or the pound with.

Oh, still trying to decide what I want to do about a roommate for this next year. I'm feelin' pretty comfortable having this space to myself, and quite enjoying the freedom. The cheap side of me really doesn't want to pay the full rent.

Anyhow, from Kazakhstan:



From Sweden:



From India:



In the UK it is "The X Factor." which produced Leona Lewis.

P.S. Wikipedia says "American Idol is broadcast to over 100 nations outside of the United States; however, these aren't live broadcasts and may be tape delayed by several days or weeks (excluding Canada, Malaysia, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, the Philippines and the United Arab Emirates, where episodes are also aired live). In those instances, the shows are combined into one episode to summarize the results. Australia airs episodes just 5 hours after their US showing and the UK airs episodes 2 days after their US showing on digital channel ITV2. It is also aired in Ireland on TV3 Ireland 2 days after the showing. In Brazil, the show airs 8 days after the showing in the United States.

Currently American Idol is televised on TVNZ in New Zealand, Fox in the United States, CTV in Canada, MNET Series in South Africa, FOX8 in Australia, ITV2 in the UK, Global TV in Indonesia, TV3 Ireland in Ireland, Star World in several parts of Asia, aTV World in Hong Kong, QTV11 in the Philippines and on TV4 in Sweden.

The seventh season of American Idol is exclusively being broadcast direct to Australia via satellite on FOX8.

It also airs in Mexico in two markets in English -- Tijuana, Baja California and Matamoros, Tamaulipas -- because those markets have Fox affiliates that serve US markets. The Tijuana broadcast is a same-day broadcast, as it is located on the West Coast with its Fox affiliate XETV. The Matamoros broadcast is live, as it is in the Central time zone on XHRIO." when you Wiki American Idol.
