American Idol is nothing compared to Fame Story. Too bad America doesn't have a Fame Story.

In case any of you were wondering, Fame Story is a Greek American-idol type show. Except its MUCH better.

First of all, The Live show is 3 hours long as opposed to American Idol's one hour. They actually sing the entire song, and also, each performance is very different. I mean they maybe made a video to play in the background during it, or they have different sets and models and stuff in the background. It's great.

And you get to hear both English and Greek songs. Two weeks ago, Annette (who is from New York, and wrote the song Everytime for Britney Spears) sang "Can't Live Without You" by Mariah Carey and she was amazing. Last week, Andreas sang "Never Can Say Goodbye" and a week ago, Zoe sang "Made for Loving You" and a couple of weeks back, she sang "One Way or Another." She also sang "Torn" tonight.

Another great thing about it is that there are only two people eligible for being voted off each week. These are the two people that were the worst the week before. Unlike, American Idol, this does not happen the day after. It happens at the end of every LIVE episode.

This show is basically American Idol + Big Brother. They have video cameras in the house 24 7 and each night they show an episode. I don't know if the American Idol contestants live together, but if they did, I'm sure it would be shown. But anyway, it is just so great to see these kids rehearse and fight, cry and live in the house with eachother.

The last winner was from New York. Her name was Kalomoira Sarandi. Janet Jackson sent her a video or something on some talk show.

Anyway, this show is just excellent beyond excellence. I just wish Americans had more time on their hands. I don't think we have enough time to have a three hour LIVE episode every week, and an episode of the kids living in the house and going to classes every day.

And BTW, the judges are equally cruel and equally HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMETIMES.

Anyways, I like Ricki-Lee Coulter, Cosima De Vito, Theresa Sokyrka, Elena Juatco, Michelle McManus, Maud Mulder, Chanel Cole, Hayley Jensen, and uhhh I think that's it. Well, I also liked Anna Cyzon in Canada, but she didn't make it past top 32.

Ooo I forgot about Cosima De Vito, she was awesome. Didn't she have to drop out because of voice problems or something?

Yeah

She made the top three, but had to drop cos if she continued going at that rate, she wouldn't be able to sing anymore. She would have won too - Shannon and Guy don't even compare.
