The first season of Sweden's Idol premiered in August 2004 and continued until its grand finale on 26 November, when 26-year-old Daniel Lindström from Umeå was crowned winner. The series gained rapid notoriety during its audition stages, when the Swedish press questioned several comments made by the show's four judges. The most famous of these concerned a girl who was told that she sounded like "she was singing on the Estonia [ferry] when it sank."
