Chinese censors have cancelled the country's version of "American Idol". The government there doesn't want to air anything that encourages voting or pursuing your dreams.
“Idol” would have been a bit different in China, anyway. Instead of poor singers being critiqued by celebrity judges, after their performance they are declared enemies of the state and put in prison for 7 to 10 years.
The Chinese version would have been closer to “North Korean Idol,” which is judged every year and won by Kim Jong Il.
