Now that we're five seasons into
American Idol, NBC has realized that it's a ratings powerhouse. And
it wants in on some of that action. So, NBC is bringing another European singing contest across the pond (American
Idol was based on the British Pop Idol). This time, it's the Eurovision Song Contest, which
launched the careers of Celine Dion and ABBA. Yeah, it's been around for a bit. 50 years, to be exact.NBC will begin its search for talent online to find singers from each state. I'm not sure if it's the same thing as this online talent competition that NBC has planned for this summer because NBC does plan to air most of the Eurovision Song Contest on its network. Just like on Idol, voting is up to the viewers. Let's just hope they don't make Celine a host.

And when Celine sang in the Eurovision Song Contest
