quibble

if in america the show is called 'american idol'
and in canada the show is called 'canadian idol'
et cetera
why is it that in singapore the show is called 'singapore idol'?

(because, the brother suggests, a metonymy of sorts operates with 'singapore' and 'singaporeans'; the country is the people and the people are the country - cf. 'we are singapore/we are singapore/we will stand together/hear the lion roar')
(or, they couldn't fit 'singaporean idol' onto the logo)
