Idol 2004
The first season of Sweden's Idol premiered in August 2004 and continued until its grand finale on 26 November, when 26-year-old Daniel Lindström from Umeå was crowned winner. The series gained rapid notoriety during its audition stages, when the Swedish press questioned several comments made by the show's four judges. The most famous of these concerned a girl who was told that she sounded like "she was singing on the Estonia when it sank."

Famous quotes containing the word idol:
“Its idea of “production value” is spending a million dollars dressing up a story that any good writer would throw away. Its vision of the rewarding movie is a vehicle for some glamour-puss with two expressions and eighteen changes of costume, or for some male idol of the muddled millions with a permanent hangover, six worn-out acting tricks, the build of a lifeguard, and the mentality of a chicken-strangler.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
