MomoMoon115 5,816 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Left-to-right: Show Luo (host), Huang Xiaoming, Han Hong, Coco Lee, Wang Wei-chung With last season’s American Idol ratings the lowest in the show’s history, Shanghai’s Dragon TV will be hoping the Idol format hasn’t come too late to impact China’s airwaves. Amongst the latest in a slew of Chinese reality singing contests, the Chinese version of Britain’s Pop Idol will make its debut on Sunday evening. Hosted by Show Luo, Chinese Idol ä¸å›½æ¢¦ä¹‹å£° is set to feature a panel of celebrity judges, including singers Coco Leeand Han Hong, actor Huang Xiaoming, and Taiwanese television mogul Wang Wei-chung. The program is one of the few Idol productions to have hosted international auditions, so expect to see American, Canadian, and Australian contestants on the show. Now over a decade old and in decline from its heyday, the Idol franchise has launched in over 45 countries worldwide, with China the latest nation to adopt the format. Where domestic singing contests à la Super Girl 超级女声 once dominated Chinese screens, newly cash-rich Chinese television networks have rushed to buy licensing rights from international producers in recent years, with European and South Korean programs at the forefront. Chinese Idol will compete against Hunan TV’s The X Factor ä¸å›½æœ€å¼ºéŸ³ in its current season. Ratings juggernaut The Voice of China ä¸å›½å¥½å£°éŸ³ is also set to return for its second run over the summer, alongside the resurrected Super Boy å¿«ä¹ç”·å£°competition. Meanwhile, Superstar China 我的ä¸å›½æ˜Ÿ, an adaption of Superstar K 슈í¼ìŠ¤íƒ€ K, is being produced by reality television rookie Hubei TV.

MoreTokyo 1,008 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Coco Lee is incredible! I'm willing to check out Chinese Idol especially after how enjoyable and impressive the contestant on The Voice China were. Much more excited about The Voice of China coming back for its second season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
