As if we hadn't done enough damage in Vietnam with unexploded bombs and agent orange... American Idol will now have a Vietnamese counterpart called "Vietnam Idol".

From Thanh Nhien News:

Ho Chi Minh City Television (HTV) and Vietnam Advertising Co. will launch a Vietnamese version of American Idol and the UK�s Pop Idol, under the name Vietnam Idol, in April.

The competition is open to all Vietnamese nationals aged between 16 and 30, except those who are already un�der contract with music stu�dios, or have won other musi�cal awards.


Check out the Vietnam Idol website here.

We had our own version of Vietnam Idol one day in a van ride to visit some beneficiaries when one of our staff started to sing. She sounded so beautiful, we pulled the van over and recorded her. I later made a slideshow/movie out of it and posted it to YouTube... check it out below:
