As if we hadn't done enough damage in Vietnam with unexploded bombs and agent orange... American Idol will now have a Vietnamese counterpart called "Vietnam Idol".

From Thanh Nhien News:

Ho Chi Minh City Television (HTV) and Vietnam Advertising Co. will launch a Vietnamese version of American Idol and the UK’s Pop Idol, under the name Vietnam Idol, in April.

The competition is open to all Vietnamese nationals aged between 16 and 30, except those who are already un­der contract with music stu­dios, or have won other musi­cal awards.

Check out the Vietnam Idol website here.

We had our own version of Vietnam Idol one day in a van ride to visit some beneficiaries when one of our staff started to sing. She sounded so beautiful, we pulled the van over and recorded her. I later made a slideshow/movie out of it and posted it to YouTube... check it out below:
