Asian Idol Update
With the Idol phemonon spawning series in 30 different countries, it was only a matter of time before another international Idol took place. And next month it does in the form og Asian Idol – with a little help from the Australian Idol team.
Similar to the World Idol show that ran a few years ago, Asian Idol will see six Asian countries – Singapore, Phillipines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and India – face off to see who will be named best of the best.
Over five weeks viewers in each country will be able to help chose the song they want their Idol to perform, before they eventually make their way to the Asian Idol performance show. There, each performer will sing two songs – one in English and one in their native language – and will face a panel of six judges.
Unlike World Idol, in which viewers were unable to vote for the contestant from their home country, a new, still top-secret voting system will allow performers to receive votes from their homeland.
Australian Idol produced Sandra Fulloon, who has been with the show since the start, is heading over to work as supervising producer for the new series.
"The finale will be held in a 10,000 seat stadium and apparently it will be watched by 250 million people," explains Sandra. "So it's quite a big thing!"
Having produced so many specatular Australian Idol finales, a group of the Aussie team will follow Sandra to help produce the finale.
"They're bringing the core unit from Australian Idol, our expert technical crew, over for the final week to help put the show togther," Sandra says.
