Israeli Version of American Idol to Hold U.S. Auditions

If you've always wanted to make it as a singer/Israeli reality star, now's your chance: Kochav Nolad (literally, "A Star is Born"), the Israeli version of "American Idol," has announced that for season 7, they're holding auditions in the US, also.

שנה התוכנית "כוכב נולד" יוצאת לחפש כשרונות שירה ישראליים ויהודיים גם בארה"ב!
אם אתם/אתן מכירים אנשים מוכשרים ששוהים בארה"ב בחודשים הקרובים, או אתם כאלו בעצמכם, שילחו לנו את הפרטים לכתובת האימייל הזו starisborn7@gmail.com
ואולי תוזמנו לאודישן שיעניק לכם הזדמנות להגיע לנבחרת של "כוכב נולד 7"

Or, if you're primarily an English speaker (rough translation):

This year, the program "Kochav Nolad" is going in search of Israeli and American Jewish singing talents! If you know talented people who are going to be present in the US in the coming months, or if you are yourself, send us the details to this email address: starisborn7@gmail.com, and maybe you'll be invited to an audition that will give you the chance to be chosen for semi-finals of Kochav Nolad 7!

If previous years are any indicator, Kochav Nolad's seventh season may yield additional Israeli pop stars of the future. Season 1 introduced Ninette Tayeb and Shiri Maimon, both now major stars in Israel; and season 5's Boaz Ma'uda became the official representative of Israel at this summer's Eurovision concert, singing "K'ilu Kan" (As If Here), written by Dana International, who - as "one of the most famous transsexual celebrities in the world" - is another story entirely.
