American Idol Comes to Brazil with Ídolos Posted by on May 25, 2008 in Entertainment

Many American TV shows have been adopted for Brazilian television, and American Idol is one of them. Auditions are underway in four cities to search for the next Brazilian idol, on Ídolos.

This past weekend, auditions were held in Rio de Janeiro at the famous Sambodrome, home of Rio’s Carnival. Over 8,000 people came to audition. Auditions have already been held in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, and Salvador, Bahia. Auditions will be held in São Paulo on May 31st, and nearly 16,000 people are signed up already.

The show will air on the Rede Record channel in August.
