Talk:World Idol

message: It looks like not all (or maybe none) of the songs performed were original.  Can anyone fill in the names of the artists whom the Idol contestants were covering? —Triskaideka 00:47, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: Can someone explain better what happened with CTV and Fox during this airing? It seems to me that if it were live (as it surely must have been for results to be obtained and a winner announced on the same evening) that CTV wouldn't have had time to edit in their host as opposed to Ant and Dec. Question is, was the whole thing done over two editions (to allow this) or was just the CTV showing not 'live'? It seem confusing (maybe just to me) the way it's explained in the article, in terms of how this world event could have run. For instance, if it were live, how does that account for the time zone differences in the other countries showing it? This makes me think it was not live. But if it was, what time zone did it air in? If it was live in the US at 8pm, the UK would've had it at 3pm or much earlier... Worth clarification anyway, considering it was the first worldwide attempt to do this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.46.200.76 (talk) 00:02, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

message: According to the provided table Clarkson and Klaws were awarded both with 10 points by Pan-Arabia. But if you add up Clarkson's results, you'll get a total of 102 points although she had only 97 points. Futhermore the five points are missing in this row. 
102 - 5 = 97
So I guess Clarkson was awarded with five and not with ten points.
PS: I also would list Klaws as 9th since he had "won" in one country. In other rankings (=> formula one etc.) the amount of victories/best results will decide the winner if two contenders have the same number of points.
But it is only a guessing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.36.240.32 (talk) 16:40, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:WorldIdol.jpg

message: This doesn't seem to happen at all font sizes, but on my screen the infobox and the first table are overlapping each other, with the text from each difficult to read where they intersect.  If I shift my browser's (Firefox) font size up a few notches the infobox remains above the table and there's no problem.  Down a few notches, the infobox appears to the right of the table and again they don't interfere.  Anyone know how to fix the appearance without mucking it up for someone else?

replies: text: That problem still exists, almost one year later.  I'm going to delete the "participants" part of the infobox, since that info is repeated later in the article.  I think indicating the winner should be enough.  If anyone disagrees, please undo my edit. AlbertusmagnusOP (talk) 02:21, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
