There are 33 versions of

American Idol-style singing competition around the world, in 33 different countries. But, the
Idol franchise is about to launch into new territory. Instead of just one country, it will launch

- Caracas, Venezuela: April 29-30
- Bogota, Colombia:

- Buenos Aires, Argentina: May 16-17
