After sitting here and thinking for a while of just what to type, I thought no-one could explain it better than the people who made the show in the first place. If you want to check out the rest of what they have to say, visit www.itv.com/popidol
So in the words of the people at ITV:
"The eagerly anticipated, award winning seires, POP IDOL is back on our screens from Saturday 9th August, and it is sure to delight and divide the nation as it makes and breaks the dreams of thousands of young hopefuls all dreaming of pop stardom.
Expect entertaining and excruciatingly embaraasing auditions and plenty of sarcastic and scathing put downs as 20,000 wannabes perform, shedding blood, sweat and plenty of tears in front of the infamous panel of expert judges : Simon Cowell, (the sharp tongued meanie, who despite his reputation, is my fav judge. No hate mail please!!) Nicki Chapman,(the tactful) Neil Fox (the witty and rather strange) and Pete Waterman. (the one that disagrees with Simon)
Viewers favourite, Ant and Dec, return as hosts and will be there every step of the way from the auditions through to the laughter and tears of the final 50, whose fate lies in the viewers hands in the final live shows.
And that's Pop Idol in a nutshell.
So don't forget to tune in EVERY (and i mean EVERY) Saturday evening. I know i will be!
