So I've seen bad competitors on American Idol but was curious about exactly how bad people are in other parts of the world. What countries have an Idol like show and do they also show the "worst of the worst" on occasion?

Here's one particularly bad video I found: MJ would be proud

In Asia, tons. American Idol is a rip-off of those shows. Ever notice why it's called American Idol?

American Idol is a foreign Pop Idol-like show.

We have Operación Triunfo, or OT in Spain. Here you have the website http://www.portalmix.com/triunfo/

They are airing the castings for this year and while I despise the program and the so called singers that this show pumps out, the selection process is a total riot and it features some totally deranged freaks. Check out this narutard trying to climb his way to the fame (it is even more hilarious if you understand spanish)

American are ripping off a lot of ideas from other countries these days, more than I remember.

Movies are the biggest culprit though.

Old article but relevant.
