Ever watched the Pop Idol?

You know the tv-show where they are looking for new singer talents? Pop Idol / Pop Star / Idols it's called depending on where you live. I haven't really been watching, but I was under the impression that the applicants can sing 😃 How wrong I was.

They just lurv them in the FSR; Latvia only has a few TV channels (unless you find a Sky box and point it low, low down on the horizon from a very high place) which mostly all run reality shows. Some of them are even in English with Latvian and Russian subtitles. 😮

Russian reality shows tend to be more fun, because they take anglo-american ideas and need to push them a bit harder, e.g., strip people naked or drop them into a war-zone or feed their grandmother to sharks etc...
More like "Reality-meets-Tarantino" shows really 😊

Interesting to note that the quiz shows, which were s-o-ooo popular last year are on the wane. In the local equivalent of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", I think the highest anyone has got is Ls5000. Normally when they break the Ls100 mark, they are out of lives. Not that I am saying that Latvians are dumb or anything...
