“Американский идол” — это реалити-шоу, соревнование, в ходе которого определяется лучший певец страны. Через телефонное голосование Америка выбирает лучший сольный исполнительский музыкальный талант. Впервые шоу было запущено 11 июня 2002 года, и с тех пор оно стало одним из самых популярных шоу на американском телевидении. Америка уже увидела 9 сезонов, скоро начнется 10 — й сезон шоу.
I know that in Russia there is a similar reality show, a competition to find out the best singer — “Factory of stars”, I watched first seasons of it.

a) В возрасте 23 лет Крис Ален стал американским идолом 8 — го сезона. Как вы думаете, насколько изменилась его жизнь?

6. He didn’t use to sing pop-songs.
