The TV show Pop Idol began in the UK back in 2001, a creation of former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller. The show involves a nationwide search for undiscovered singing talent in the hope of uncovering pop music’s next phenomenon. Contestants progress through early rounds, judged by a panel of industry experts, before a top twelve compete for the viewing public’s vote. Each week contestants perform a song from a chosen music style – rock, britpop, disco, swing, etc – and a singer is voted off until there is one winner.
Australian Idol began in 2003, finishing in a hotly-contested final between Guy Sebastian and Shannon Noll, with both subsequently using Idol as a springboard for success. Originally there were three panel judges, in Mark Holden, Ian “Dicko” Dickson and Marcia Hines, but they have recently been joined by radio host Kyle Sandilands. Australian Idol remains one of Australia’s most popular television shows.
