	Singapore Idol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Singapore Idol is a television show on Channel 5 of MediaCorp TV.
		Her premature exit was variously attributed to her guarded persona, complacency of her supporters and her nationality (she was originally from Canada).
		In the final showdown held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on 1 December 2004, Muhammad Taufik Batisah beat Sylvester Sim with 62% of the votes to become the first Singapore Idol.

		SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Emylia Abdul Rahman braved a tropical rain storm, the risk of public humiliation and a 12-hour wait for a shot at fame and fortune.
		Singapore is better known for producing engineers with an eye for calculus than singers with an eye for stardom, launching only a handful of award-winning musical careers in a region dominated by Hong Kong, Taiwanese and Japanese singers.
		Singapore's first idol will win a Platinum music contract with Bertelsmann AG's BMG unit, which owns more than 200 record labels in 41 countries.

	dsng.net - the daryl sng blog: Singapore Idol vs Singaporean Idol
		Someone wrote a letter to the Straits Times' forum page the other day asking why the show is called "Singapore Idol" here, not "Singaporean Idol", given that other incarnations are called "American Idol", "Australian Idol", and so on.
		This got me thinking: actually the fact that "Singapore" and "Singaporean" can both be used as adjectives to describe things from this island is actually a reflection of the fact that Singapore is a city-state.
		Consider: if there were a New York-only edition of American Idol, it would almost certainly be called "New York Idol", not "New Yorker Idol" (Who the New Yorker's idol is, of course, is a question for another debate.) The same principle applies to talking about sports: the Boston Red Sox play in the American League.

	Signatures Singapore Idol - J&J; Jerry and Jeassea Petition : [ powered by iPetitions.com ]

		Singapore is a small country, not everyone will vote even though they think that a particular idol is good, which leaves those singaporeans frantically voting continuously for their friends, not for their talents.

	Singapore Idol or Singapore Kepala Dol? - Sintercom
		Having been in your city when Singapore Idol was launched and having been back several times since, I have to admit that the programme makes for compelling and compulsive viewing — but for all the wrong reasons.
		As someone who knows the Singapore music scene fairly well and who has heard of some of the judges, my personal take is that this programme is more of a forum for four mismatched judges to promote themselves than to find some real talent that will make Singapore proud.
		Singapore IDOL is over, Singaporeans have learnt to vote by talent not by races background.

		In her hand and in her head she is holding hopes and dreams of many the contestants here in the room, and with a single word she is able to crush the spirit of anyone who has tried here today.

		Airing in the second half of 2004, "Singapore Idol" will be the first in Asia, a region that has been slow to succumb to international Idol-mania.
		The format on which "Singapore Idol" is based is jointly owned by FremantleMedia and 19TV.
		One of the obstacles, say format vendors, is that some Asian markets see big-brand formats like "Idol" as expensive compared to making their own home-grown talent show -- or copying/pirating the format for free.

		Sigh, if singapore is going boost their music scene, i would have to comment on local parents attitude and how they support their kids and encouraging them properly.
		Unless of course, the objective of finding an idol is but to showcase to the world and perhaps achieve commercial gain if possible, for the boardcasting media which had paid thousands of dollars of royalties...
		As Singapore is such an open country who loves talented people around the globe should try & reduce the rules & relagations for participants to join Singapore Idol.
