In 2001, producer and talent manager Simon Fuller created, and in partnership with FremantleMedia, developed a concept for a revolu-
tionary talent competition show. It would capture the attention of TV viewers around the world and launch the careers of pop superstars.
Pop Idol
first aired in the UK, and quickly became the most watched program on European TV. This unique talent competition
gave the public audience the chance to choose the winner, and also gave the winner a recording contract.
With honest critiques of everything—especially the contestants— judge Simon Cowell helped popularize the show. The
audience loved his sarcasm. Comments like "That used to be my favorite song. Not anymore." and "My advice would be if you
want to pursue a career in the music business, don’t," compelled people to tune in each week.
In Summer 2002,
Pop Idol
was adapted for the U.S., and
American Idol
became a huge success. Season 1 ended with the
debut of Kelly Clarkson as our first recording artist. Season 2 eventually launched the recording careers of both Ruben Studdard
and Clay Aiken.
With Season 3 in 2004, the competition continued…A new star was born!
Season 3 Breaks Ratings Records
America can’t get enough of
American Idol
. When Season 3 premiered, it set ratings records for the FOX network. 30 million
people tuned in, making
American Idol
the number one show on TV. Viewers dialed a toll-free number to cast an average of 19
million votes per week for their favorite contestant.
It’s A Worldwide Phenomenon
2004 is a busy year for the
Idol
team. Besides
American Idol
, there are also 28 other versions airing throughout the world and
counting. For example, there’s
Australian Idol
,
Canadian Idol
, Greece’s
Super Idol
,
Singapore Idol
, and Germany’s
Deutschland
Sucht Den SuperStar
.
Several spin-off shows and TV specials have already aired in America: the
World Idol Competition
,
American Juniors
,
and
An American Idol Christmas
. You can look forward to new television specials in the very near future.
