Don't you guys agree it's such a shameless gimmick of the American Idol? 3 judges, two males and one female. Nelly is Paula Abdul, and Khalid Eshaikh is doing Simon, which I guess leaves the third guy whose name I don't know, as Randy, following looking at Khalid Al-Shiakh's (Simon's) opinion for each contestant before he makes his own.

I know there have been previous Arabic copies of western shows, but I don't know why this one was the one that really got on my nerves. Maybe I do like it after all?

And aren't there enough Star Academy/American Idol/Najm Al-Khaleej...etc shows? Now MBC1 has a show called Al-Andalib, where they look for an Abdelhalim Hafez lookalike/soundalike. It's really getting out of hand, don't you guys think?

Edit: Oopsy, wrong board, somebody move it to the appropriate section please =p

well even in american shows they have the same setup i2 good cops and 2 bad cops

the Andalib sounds intresting

I saw last night the X Factor and it made me laugh... I seriously think that this show sucks and that they are trying there BEST TO MAKE LOOK like american ideol but with a different NAME.. Stupid show!!!
