''Idol'' is a Swedish reality-competition talent show airing on TV4. It debuted in August 2004, and has become one of the most popular shows on Swedish television. Part of the ''Idols'' franchise, it originates from the reality program ''Pop Idol'' created by British entertainment executive Simon Fuller, which was first aired in 2001 in the United Kingdom. The program seeks to discover the best singer in Sweden through a series of nationwide auditions. The outcomes of the later stages of the competition are determined by public phone voting. The format features three judges who give critiques of the contestants' performances. Since ''Idol'' started in 2004, the show has featured five different line-ups of judges, a total of nine different judges, as well as twelve different presenters (including sidekicks in 2011 and 2013). From 2004 to 2007, each season had two hosts who stayed for just one season. However, from 2008, each season only has one host. For the 2011 season, the eighth season of ''Idol'', Pär Lernström was the host. For the 2013 season, Pär Lernström has returned as host, and also has Karin "Kakan" Hermansson as his sidekick in 2013.〔 Through the nine series, the winners have been Daniel Lindström, Agnes Carlsson, Markus Fagervall, Marie Picasso, Kevin Borg, Erik Grönwall, Jay Smith, Amanda Fondell, and Kevin Walker. Smith is the oldest winner at 29 whilst Fondell and Carlsson are the youngest at only 17. To date, ''Idol'' contestants have collectively sold over 1.1 million albums in Sweden alone. Following the completion of its eighth season, ''Idol'' was put on temporary hiatus and replaced in 2012 by two reality singing competitions: ''The Voice'' and ''X Factor'', the latter of which also originated from the United Kingdom's version, created by music executive Simon Cowell.〔 However, in January 2013, TV4 announced that ''Idol'' would return in 2013 and that neither ''The Voice'' nor ''X Factor'' would continue.〔 ==Audition cities== Season 1: Karlstad, Gothenburg, Malmö, Umeå, Stockholm Season 2: Malmö, Sundsvall, Gothenburg, Piteå, Stockholm Season 3: Malmö, Gothenburg, Falun, Umeå, Stockholm Season 4: Gothenburg, Skellefteå, Malmö, Borlänge, Stockholm Season 5: Gothenburg, Luleå, Karlstad, Lund, Stockholm Season 6: Gothenburg, Gävle, Malmö, Umeå, Stockholm Season 7: Gothenburg, Karlstad, Malmö, Luleå, Stockholm Season 8: Linköping, Gothenburg, Lund, Falun, Stockholm Season 9: Stockholm, Linköping, Malmö, Gothenburg, Sundsvall Season 10: TBA 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Idol (Swedish TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
