Idol is a television show on the Norwegian television network TV 2, based on the popular British show Pop Idol. The show describes itself as a "search for a superstar". The contestants are first narrowed down to 40-50 through several auditions and tests by a panel of judges. From this point on, the viewers decide who are in and who are out, and the judges limit themselves to commenting. TV viewers being what they are, the votes are based not solely on the singers vocal performance, but also on his or her looks, clothes, entertainment value, and other factors.

In the first season, 50 people were narrowed down to 10, with each contestant performing live. However, the official number of legal contestants was narrowed down to nine when Idol-finalist Jeanette Vik was disqualified for being underage. Four judges provided critiques of each competitor's performance. Viewers had several hours following the broadcast of the show to phone in their votes for their favorite contestant. Later the same night, the contestant with the fewest votes was sent home.

The 2004 season changed the procedures a bit. First the contestants were narrowed down to 40 instead of 50. Then, after 4 shows where 2 of 10 were voted forward in each show, a fifth show was aired, where 8 "wildcards" selected by the judges from all of the earlier contestants competed for the two last places. In addition to these 10 finalists, the judges picked a final 11th contestant, Håkon Njøten. The judges in this season were Jan Fredrik Karlsen, Douglas Carr, Anneli Drecker and Thomas Strzelecki.
