Fairy Idol is a Fairly OddParents movie, which premiered on May 19, 2006. The title and plot parody the television show American Idol. Before the premier of the show, an online poll at Nick.com went live to see which character was set to win the contest. At the end of the run, Cosmo was the winner with over 300,000 votes. On the film's premiere night, 3 million viewers tuned in to watch the show. The same day Bo Bice, American Idol season four runner-up, hosted the Nickelodeon airing on May 19, 2006 in the U.S., as he "knows something about" these kinds of contests. The movie is notable for having no moving title screen and just a plain one, like the regular episodes.
Originally, as Norm the Genie was slated to appear in the movie, Norm Macdonald was meant to reprise his role. However, due to scheduling conflicts, he was unable to do so. The creators turned instead to Robert Cait.[1]

[edit] Judge jokes
- When the witch comes up to sing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (it is assumed that she is a fairy version of the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz) a house falls on her. The Simon fairy says "Wow. You really brought the house down." In reality, when Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee performed the song, the real Simon said (in a slightly indifferent tone) that it was an outstanding performance.
- The Tooth Fairy sang "My Shiny Teeth and Me" by Chippington Skylark III (a.k.a. Chip Skylark) because she is a fan (his teeth are her greatest work). Blonda said "Those notes were so high only dolphins could hear them", and we see a dolphin cheering in the audience. In reality, a contestant on Idol performed a song in falsetto.
