Efron a regular at 'Idol' shows

'High School Musical'

Zac Efron has revealed that he is a huge fan of US talent search American Idol.

The High School Musical star said he used to attend live shows on a regular basis to watch the contestants on stage.

He told MTV: "I like American Idol because it deals with regular people who really have a dream and like to perform.

"There was a period where I was actually going to the shows of American Idol. A few years ago, I went, like, almost every week. That was the season Taylor Hicks won."

The 20-year-old added: "It was great. It's a completely different experience live. You really get to see who is a good singer, and who can really captivate a crowd. And you can tell it's really influential on the judges' decisions."
