Season two has the record for shortest Idol program in production with production lasting no more than 3 months.
Rikke Emma Niebuhr from Aarhus won with 65% of the total vote over Louise Baltzer Jensen from Frederiksværk.
Season two of Idols Denmark is often cited as the most unsuccessful of all Idol seasons with confirmed sources listing that not even 1,000 people had bothered to turn up to the auditions again in Aarhus & Copenhagen. Rikke was also denied her promised contract with BMG Denmark, though her debut single Get There sold moderately well.
Finalist Kasper Ehlers would later join series two of The X Factor, where he was part of first runners-up Alien Beat Club.
