"Idol" here is short for American Idol, which is a very popular singing show in the US (and other countries). Every season, amateur (and sometimes professional) singers compete to win first place and hopefully get a chance to become a big star. Ex: My favorite singing show is American Idol. Ex: Who's your favorite Idol winner?
