Ameri-can Idol, Indonesi-an Idol, Malaysi-an Idol

my chinese educated friend who does not have a good command of the English Language asked me

How come it’s Singapore Idol and not Singaporean Idol ah?

I must say, he’s spot on.

So what gives, Mr SpeakGoodEnglishCampaign? You miserable failure!

Good point. But Singaporean Idol sounds weird…

Singapore is trying hard to be unique and original, ie. what with the name and an extra judge (4 instead of 3).

And that guy Steven Lim…he’s real! OMG!

one more thing about the SPEAKGOODENGLISH campaign. “speak good english” is not a proper phrase. It’s supposed to be “speak english well” …

ding ding..

whynnot SIN IDOL?

They are talking about it at Mr Brown’s blog too.

An Italian, An Englishman, A Frenchman, but A Chinaman, not A Chineseman. The only rule worth knowing about the English language is that there are actually no rules.

slam dunk… yap-pa-ba-dooo-bah…

miyagi, is chinaman a real word? I thought its just a term we asians concocted to differentiate chinese from mainland china from the chinese from rest of the world.

Cowboy Idol
Cowboynese Idol
Cowboyan Idol
Cowboyino Idol

Cowboyite, Cowboyer. Got some more. Mancusian for someone from Manchester, Glaswegian for Glasgow, Manx for Isle of Man, Liverpudlian…

Laki-laki Lembu!

Maybe because if it’s Singaporean Idol, only Singaporeans need apply, unfortunately, in Singapore Idol, you can be from Mars and still join. No kidding… Think of that Canadian bird that got eliminated. She’s not Singaporean.

for american idol, that weirdo from Bulgaria also joined.

Only aussie citizens and permanent residents can enter Australian Idol.

hehe that’s too funny. Back home they gave the show a completely different name to avoid trouble I guess.

powerpuff > if i’m not wrong, that bulgarian girl migrated to usa and is an american citizen, but who cares right… competition other there is tough, unlike here…
