‘Super Girl’ talent show returning after hiatus
Print Edition
CHINA’S TV singing contest “Super Girl” will return to screens after a 10-year hiatus.
The show — to be re-launched by Hunan Satellite TV, in Changsha, the capital of central China’s Hunan Province — is similar to “American Idol” and is among the earliest contests in China offering ordinary people a chance at stardom.
About 610,000 people have registered to enter the contest, which is open to women over age 18, according to a press conference held on Tuesday.
Finalists will be chosen by a panel of judges and public voters. The 20 chosen will be announced on June 18.
Hong Tao, a judge, said the show aims to “discover uncut jade that will shine with a bit of polishing.”
The show was first produced in 2004, and at its height 200 million people tuned in to watch the live, three-hour finale of “Super Girls 2005.”
Li Yuchun, a student at Sichuan Conservatory of Music, won the contest in 2005. She later appeared on the cover of “Time Asia Magazine” as one of the 25 Asian Heroes of the year.
