Body As Evidence
Chapter 1 Pop Goes Democracy Mediating Race, Gender, and Nation on American Idol Parallels between presidential elections and the hit TV series are not hard to make. Indeed, they had become punch lines in comedyAmerican routines: Idol from Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert complaining that it took too long to determine the next American Idol (in a gag that had audiences assuming he was referring to the next U.S. president) to ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel quipping that, after watching the vice presidential debate during the U.S. presidential campaign in 2008, he “voted four times for Sarah Palin and six times for David Archuleta,” in reference to the popular Republican vice presidential candidate and frontrunner contestant that year. Interestingly, movie critic RogerAmerican Ebert Idol’s mounted criticism against Palin for being “the American Idol candidate,” in which he argued the following: I think I might be able to explain some of Sarah Palin’s appeal. She’s the “American Idol” candidate. Consider. What defines an “American Idol” finalist? They’re good‑looking, work well on television, have a sunny personality, are fierce competitors, and so talented, why, they’re darned near the real thing. There’s a reason “American Idol” gets such high ratings. People identify with the contestants. They think, Hey, that could be me up there on that show! . My problem is, I don’t want to be up there. I don’t want a vice president who is darned near good enough. I want a vice president who is better, wiser, well‑traveled, has met world leaders, who three months ago had an opinion on Iraq.

Building the Authentic Celebrity: the “Idol” Phenomenon in the Attention Economy
Building the Authentic Celebrity: The “Idol” Phenomenon in the Attention Economy. by Charles Fairchild Abstract: The “Idol” phenomenon is a spectacle founded on the creation, perpetuation, and maintenance of specific kinds of carefully structured consumer relationships. Several of the more successful contestants are gradually formed into recognizable and familiar brands centered on varied and mostly familiar pop star personae intended to form the foundations of the relationships between the various contestants and their supporters. However “Idol” relationships are not limited to familiar musician-fan binaries, but grow and evolve into a series of intimate, active relationships that stretch well beyond the life of the show. By the end of each series the primary relationship is no longer confined to contestants and fans, but include a series of relationships between the program and its audience created through a wide range of channels. The main goal of “Idol’s” producers is to build affective investment in contestants and gradually shift that investment to the narrative and drama of the program itself. The Strategic Imperative The advent of the “Idol” phenomenon near the turn of millennium appeared to be overkill. At the time, we did not seem to be running short of pop stars nor were we light on manufactured pop confections. Of course, “Idol” is not a response to any perceived aesthetic crisis on the supply-side, but a reaction to a whole other set of concerns on the demand side. With the vertical integration of global cultural production, a sea change in the technology used to distribute, consume, and experience music, and a music industry now permanently embedded in the larger structures of the entertainment industry, music producers are faced with both grave crises and surprising opportunities.

Adapting Idols Joost De Bruin and Koos Zwaan
Introduction: Adapting Idols Joost de Bruin and Koos Zwaan Idols is one of the most popular and successful global television formats produced in the last decade. The format has been adapted in over 40 territories all over the world, as the appendix – compiled by Sukhpreet Singh and Martin Kretschmer for this book – shows. The original show, Pop Idol, went to air in the UK in 2001. The next year, local versions of the show were broadcast in Poland, South Africa, the USA, Germany and the Netherlands. By the end of 2004 – exactly three years after the introduction of Pop Idol – 30 territories were screening their own Idols shows, illustrating the rapid global spread of the format. In some cases Idols was produced for transnational geographic regions, such as Asian Idol – with auditions in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam – and the Pan-Arab Superstar, which featured contestants from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Morocco and Algeria. The most recent branch on the global Idols tree at the time of writing is Idol Puerto Rico. The owners of the Idols format, FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment, have thus managed to capitalize on the work put into the design of the original UK show by turning it into a format and selling it to a range of territories. The goal of Idols shows is to involve a nation (or a region consisting of several different nations) in a quest for a popular music idol who can be admired by all. Idols shows are commonly divided into four distinct phases (Holmes 2004).
