Asian Idol was a reality singing competition, which featured winners of Idol competitions from six Southeast and South Asian countries consisting of India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Vietnam. Part of the Idol franchise, it originated from the reality program Pop Idol created by British entertainment executive Simon Fuller, which was first aired in 2001 in the United Kingdom. The first season was won by Singapore Idol Hady Mirza, who was awarded an all-expense-paid trip around the world on business class, after almost two million votes were cast.[1][2]
The first season was held on 15 December and 16, 2007, in Jakarta, Indonesia.[3][4] RCTI (which also broadcasts Indonesian Idol), was the main broadcaster, with the program shown live among participating countries.[5]
