Latin American Idol sings a different tune

by Anna Johns, posted Apr 2nd 2006 2:22PM

latin american idolThere are 33 versions of the American Idol-style singing competition around the world, in 33 different countries. But, the Idol franchise is about to launch into new territory. Instead of just one country, it will launch Latin American Idol, covering an entire region. It will host auditions in four countries and is open to contestants from Mexico and Central and South America. Except Brazil, which has its own version that launches April 5th.That's an awfully large region to choose from and I imagine it has some smokin' hot talent.

Here are the audition dates:
  • Mexico City: April 22-23
  • Caracas, Venezuela: April 29-30
  • Bogota, Colombia: May 5-6
  • Buenos Aires, Argentina: May 16-17

It would make sense that Brazil not be involved, considering Brazil is the only South American country that speaks Portuguese, not Spanish.

Actually, Pan-Arab Idol (a.k.a. SuperStar) also crowns an Idol from a region.

Their first winner, Diana Karazon, competed in the special World Idol and she was chosen out of auditioners from Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Algeria, United Arab Emirates and Lebanon.
