French Idol

[Note (14 April): I used to have actual video here, but it got really annoying because it would play the minute you loaded the blog. So click HERE to see the actual video footage]

I managed to catch the 1st episode Nouvelle Star 2007 which is the French version of American Idol (they even have the same graphics). I actually watched the show because I had seen ads showing clips of this unbelievable b-box guy. I never really got into American Idol (I think I'm the only one) so I'm not sure how common such a talent is, but I was completely blown away by his performance. No knowledge of French needed here. As for the rest of the show, I found it a bit slow--many of the songs being performed were ones in English but with terrible French accents. They do not sound good.
