Super Girl or Super Voice Girls (; literally: "Super Female Voice", as it is homonym with "Super girl") was a Chinese singing contest for female contestants, organized by Hunan Satellite Television between 2004 and 2006. The show's official name was Mengniu Yoghurt Super Girl Contest until 2009; later it was known as BBK Music Phone Super Girl Contest, after the company that sponsored the series. It was generally described as the unofficial mainland Chinese version of the global television franchise Pop Idol (2001) and became one of the most popular entertainment shows in the country. Despite Super Girl'''s major popularity and success, the show was heavily criticised by Liu Zhongde, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. He essentially claimed Super Girl was poison for the youth. The program was relaunched in 2009. The Chinese title was changed to Happy Girls though the official English title remains unchanged as Super Girl. In 2011, the Chinese government banned Super Girl from airing, claiming the program to be too long. The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) told the Hunan station that Super Girl broke time rules for this kind of show. They should be no more than 90 minutes long, but episodes of Super Girl can last more than three hours. More than 2.5 billion people watched the show. Huanan announced a third incarnation of the show on October 30, 2015. Auditions for the series closed on April 16, 2016. Outline
Partly inspired by the many spinoffs of the UK show Pop Idol, the competition was open to any female contestant regardless of her origin, appearance, or how she sings. The almost unrestricted audition sessions drew contestants of ages ranging from 4 to 89 years old. The 2005 season attracted more than 120,000 applicants during the preliminary selection rounds, held in the five provinces of Hunan, Sichuan, Guangdong, Henan and Zhejiang. Many applicants travelled long distances to take part in the competition hoping to become a star. Each contestant was allowed 30 seconds to perform in front of judges and find out if they were selected for the preliminary regional rounds. To prevent another overwhelming audition season, a minimum age of eighteen was later set during the 2006 season. Following the selection of contestants in the five regions, the competition began with the preliminary rounds. Preliminaries were held in each of the five locations where auditions were located. Television viewers were able to watch each of the preliminaries and vote for their favorite singers. Voting was conducted by telephone and text messaging. The regional preliminaries were followed by a weekly broadcast knockout competition held in Changsha, Hunan province. Viewers called in to vote for their favourite singers, and the weakest two—as voted by the judges and the audience's weekly SMS— faced off subsequently in a PK, short for Player Kill. The term is derived from kill or be killed multiplayer online games. The singer with the fewest votes was then eliminated. Unlike Pop Idol, the last event was contested between the final three, rather than the final two contestants. Unlike American Idol, judges for the competition were selected from different backgrounds in society, but they were all still Chinese. A few dozen "audience judges" were selected in addition to several professional judges. History
The original version of the show was known as Super Boy, and aired in 2003 on Hunan Entertainment Channel, a local broadcaster based in Changsha, Hunan province in South Central China. The show was a success and its counterpart, Super Girl, aired at the beginning of 2004 with the slogan, "Sing as you want, sing out loud," and became the most viewed show in Hunan. However, the programme's impact was limited as the channel does not broadcast outside the province. On May 6, 2004, Super Girl was introduced to a national audience by its producer Liao Ke through Hunan Satellite Television. In addition to broadcasting the original episodes created by Hunan Entertainment Channel, the network also developed this show in other 3 cities: Wuhan in Hubei province, Nanjing in Jiangsu province, and Chengduin Sichuan province. This show attracted an average of 10,000 contestants in each city and received nationwide attention. Hunan Satellite Television introduced a second season of Super Girl on March 19, 2005. The preliminary rounds were filmed in five cities: Changsha in Hunan province, Guangzhou in Guangdong province, Zhengzhou in Henan province, Hangzhou in Zhejiang province, and Chengdu in Sichuan province. By the middle of the season, the competition captivated a nationwide audience and became one of the most watched television entertainment shows in mainland China with tens of millions of viewers. The final peaked at 280 million viewers at a given time, dwarfing the 12 million viewer figure for the finals of Pop Idol. Despite the show being condemned by China Central Television as being "vulgar and manipulative", a third season of the show was launched and finished in early October 2006. On January 18, 2006, China National Philatelic Corporation released a postage stamp issue featuring 2005 winner Li Yuchun. The set was released ahead of Li's 22nd birthday in her commemoration. On May 11, 2009, The Oprah Winfrey Show, a worldwide famous television show, invited Zhang Liangying, who ranked 3rd overall in the 2005 contest, to make an American television singing debut. The subtitle of the show was "The World's Got Talent" and Zhang Liangying was the only East Asian singer in the show. Some who were not chosen as winners have also been able to enter the recording industry through other means. Ji Minjia, who ranked 5th overall in the 2005 contest, worked in Los Angeles in 2006 to help with production of the title song for Japanese anime series The Galaxy Railways. On March 15, 2007, Japanese recording group Hello! Project announced Li Chun, one of the top 50 contestants in the 2006 Changsha regional, as one of two new members of Chinese ancestry of its pop group Morning Musume. The contest has also inspired television producers to create other talent search shows, including ones based on American shows such as The Apprentice. The show was the feature of a 2007 documentary titled Super, Girls!, produced and directed by independent Chinese filmmaker Jian Yi during the 2006 contest season and released at the Cambridge Film Festival. An ARTiSIMPLE Studio production, Super, Girls! is the only independent feature length documentary ever made about the "Super Girls". Over 800 million text messages were sent during the third season of Super Girl, and fan clubs began to appear throughout the country. While some culture and media experts praised Super Girl in blazing "a trail for cultural democracy" and breaking elitism in China's entertainment industry, others were quick in pointing out that the show represented a superficiality in society, "propelled by behind the scenes manipulation and state of the art pomp and circumstance". Criticism
Liu Zhongde of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference criticised both the show and its negative influence on society, saying the audience watches the program under a distorted mentality and in an unhealthy condition. He claimed that the government departments oversee culture and art, and they should not permit something like Super Girl to exist. He admitted it was the choice of the market while claiming it as low culture. He said it was not as bad as the 1983 Anti Spiritual Pollution Campaign, but the elements are there: cultural invasion, suspicion of market forces, spiritual health, preservation of national culture, and allegations of popular entertainment spreading corruption among the youth, all facing off against a new concept of socialist morality. Economic impact
Mengniu Milk Group reportedly paid ¥14 million to Hunan Television for rights to sponsor the show's broadcast outside Hunan province beginning with the 2005 season. Season summary

2006 season
The third season of Super Girl'' aired from April 2 to September 30, 2006. Shang Wenjie's selection as grand champion over Tan Weiwei, who is a professional vocalist from Sichuan Conservatory of Music, raised questions over each candidate's public appeal. Speculations arose that Shang, who appeared to be a copycat of Li Yuchun's image (somewhat androgynous), was voted grand champion due to the appeal of her Cinderella story.
Super Girl немесе Super Voice Girls (; сөзбе-сөз: "Супер әйел дауысы", "Супер қыз" деген сөзбен омоним) – 2004 және 2006 жылдар аралығында Хунань спутниктік теледидары ұйымдастырған, әйелдерге арналған қытайлық ән байқауы. Шоудың ресми атауы 2009 жылға дейін Mengniu Yoghurt Super Girl Contest болды; кейіннен ол серияны демеушілік еткен компанияның атымен BBK Music Phone Super Girl Contest деп аталды. Бұл Pop Idol (2001) әлемдік теледидар франшизасының материктік Қытайдағы ресми емес нұсқасы ретінде сипатталды және елдегі ең танымал ойын-сауық шоуларының біріне айналды. Super Girl-дың үлкен танымалдығы мен табысына қарамастан, шоуды Қытай Халық Саяси Кеңес Конференциясының мүшесі Лю Чжунде қатты сынға алды. Ол Super Girl жастарға зиянды деп мәлімдеді. Бағдарлама 2009 жылы қайта іске қосылды. Қытайлық атауы "Happy Girls" деп өзгертілді, бірақ ресми ағылшынша атауы Super Girl болып қалды. 2011 жылы Қытай үкіметі бағдарламаның ұзақтығына байланысты Super Girl-ды эфирге шығаруға тыйым салды. Радио, кино және теледидар мемлекеттік басқармасы (SARFT) Хунань телеарнасына Super Girl осындай шоулар үшін уақыт ережелерін бұзғанын айтты. Олар 90 минуттан аспауы керек, бірақ Super Girl эпизодтары үш сағаттан астам созылуы мүмкін. Шоуды 2,5 миллиардтан астам адам тамашалады. Хуаннан шоудың үшінші нұсқасын 2015 жылдың 30 қазанында жариялады. Серияға қатысуға өтініш беру 2016 жылдың 16 сәуірінде аяқталды.

This show attracted an average of 10,000 contestants in each city and received nationwide attention. Hunan Satellite Television introduced a second season of Super Girl on March 19, 2005. The preliminary rounds were filmed in five cities: Changsha in Hunan province, Guangzhou in Guangdong province, Zhengzhou in Henan province, Hangzhou in Zhejiang province, and Chengdu in Sichuan province. By the middle of the season, the competition captivated a nationwide audience and became one of the most watched television entertainment shows in mainland China with tens of millions of viewers. The final peaked at 280 million viewers at a given time, dwarfing the 12 million viewer figure for the finals of Pop Idol. Despite the show being condemned by China Central Television as being "vulgar and manipulative", a third season of the show was launched and finished in early October 2006. On January 18, 2006, China National Philatelic Corporation released a postage stamp issue featuring 2005 winner Li Yuchun. The set was released ahead of Li's 22nd birthday in her commemoration. On May 11, 2009, The Oprah Winfrey Show, a worldwide famous television show, invited Zhang Liangying, who ranked 3rd overall in the 2005 contest, to make an American television singing debut. The subtitle of the show was "The World's Got Talent" and Zhang Liangying was the only East Asian singer in the show. Some who were not chosen as winners have also been able to enter the recording industry through other means. Ji Minjia, who ranked 5th overall in the 2005 contest, worked in Los Angeles in 2006 to help with production of the title song for Japanese anime series The Galaxy Railways. On March 15, 2007, Japanese recording group Hello! Project announced Li Chun, one of the top 50 contestants in the 2006 Changsha regional, as one of two new members of Chinese ancestry of its pop group Morning Musume. The contest has also inspired television producers to create other talent search shows, including ones based on American shows such as The Apprentice. The show was the feature of a 2007 documentary titled Super, Girls!, produced and directed by independent Chinese filmmaker Jian Yi during the 2006 contest season and released at the Cambridge Film Festival. An ARTiSIMPLE Studio production, Super, Girls! is the only independent feature length documentary ever made about the "Super Girls". Over 800 million text messages were sent during the third season of Super Girl, and fan clubs began to appear throughout the country. While some culture and media experts praised Super Girl in blazing "a trail for cultural democracy" and breaking elitism in China's entertainment industry, others were quick in pointing out that the show represented a superficiality in society, "propelled by behind the scenes manipulation and state of the art pomp and circumstance". Criticism
Liu Zhongde of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference criticised both the show and its negative influence on society, saying the audience watches the program under a distorted mentality and in an unhealthy condition. He claimed that the government departments oversee culture and art, and they should not permit something like Super Girl to exist. He admitted it was the choice of the market while claiming it as low culture. He said it was not as bad as the 1983 Anti Spiritual Pollution Campaign, but the elements are there: cultural invasion, suspicion of market forces, spiritual health, preservation of national culture, and allegations of popular entertainment spreading corruption among the youth, all facing off against a new concept of socialist morality. Economic impact
Mengniu Milk Group reportedly paid ¥14 million to Hunan Television for rights to sponsor the show's broadcast outside Hunan province beginning with the 2005 season. Season summary

2006 season
The third season of Super Girl'' aired from April 2 to September 30, 2006. Shang Wenjie's selection as grand champion over Tan Weiwei, who is a professional vocalist from Sichuan Conservatory of Music, raised questions over each candidate's public appeal. Speculations arose that Shang, who appeared to be a copycat of Li Yuchun's image (somewhat androgynous), was voted grand champion due to the appeal of her Cinderella story.
Ұлыбританиялық Pop Idol шоуының көптеген қосалқы бағдарламаларынан шабыттанған бұл байқау кез келген әйел қатысушыға, оның шығу тегіне, сыртқы келбетіне немесе ән айту дағдысына қарамастан ашық болды. Аудицияларға 4 жастан 89 жасқа дейінгі қатысушылар келді. 2005 жылғы маусымда Хунань, Сычуань, Гуандун, Хэнань және Чжэцзян провинцияларында өткен алдын ала іріктеу кезеңінде 120 000-нан астам үміткер қатысты. Көптеген үміткерлер байқауға қатысу үшін алыс жол жүріп, жұлдыз болуға үміттене келді. Әр қатысушыға төрешілер алдында өнер көрсетуге және алдын ала аймақтық кезеңге іріктеліп-іріктемегенін білуге 30 секунд берілді. Тағы бір маусымдағы үміткерлердің көп болуын болдырмау үшін 2006 жылғы маусымда ең төменгі жас шегі 18 жас деп белгіленді. Бес өңірде қатысушылар іріктелгеннен кейін, байқау алдын ала кезеңдермен басталды. Алдын ала іріктеулер аудиция өткізілген бес жерде өтті. Теледидар көрермендері алдын ала іріктеулердің әр кезеңін тамашалап, сүйікті әншілеріне дауыс бере алды. Дауыс беру телефон және мәтіндік хабарлама арқылы жүргізілді. Аймақтық алдын ала іріктеулерден кейін Хуннань провинциясының Чанша қаласында апта сайынғы нокаут жарысы өтті. Көрермендер сүйікті әншілеріне дауыс берді, ал судьялар мен көрермендердің апталық SMS дауысы бойынша ең нашар екі әнші Player Kill (ПК) – ойыншыны өлтіру деген қысқаша атаумен белгіленген жарыста кездесті. Бұл термин көп ойыншылы онлайн ойындардан алынған. Ең аз дауыс жинаған әнші шығарылды. Pop Idol-дан айырмашылығы, соңғы жарыс соңғы екі емес, соңғы үш қатысушы арасында өтті. American Idol-дан айырмашылығы, байқаудың төрешілері қоғамның әртүрлі салаларынан таңдалды, бірақ олардың барлығы да қытайлықтар болды. Кәсіби судьялардан басқа бірнеше ондаған "көрермен судьялары" да таңдалды.
Super Girl or Super Voice Girls (; literally: "Super Female Voice", as it is homonym with "Super girl") was a Chinese singing contest for female contestants, organized by Hunan Satellite Television between 2004 and 2006. The show's official name was Mengniu Yoghurt Super Girl Contest until 2009; later it was known as BBK Music Phone Super Girl Contest, after the company that sponsored the series. It was generally described as the unofficial mainland Chinese version of the global television franchise Pop Idol (2001) and became one of the most popular entertainment shows in the country. Despite Super Girl'''s major popularity and success, the show was heavily criticised by Liu Zhongde, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. He essentially claimed Super Girl was poison for the youth. The program was relaunched in 2009. The Chinese title was changed to Happy Girls though the official English title remains unchanged as Super Girl. In 2011, the Chinese government banned Super Girl from airing, claiming the program to be too long. The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) told the Hunan station that Super Girl broke time rules for this kind of show. They should be no more than 90 minutes long, but episodes of Super Girl can last more than three hours. More than 2.5 billion people watched the show. Huanan announced a third incarnation of the show on October 30, 2015. Auditions for the series closed on April 16, 2016. Outline
Partly inspired by the many spinoffs of the UK show Pop Idol, the competition was open to any female contestant regardless of her origin, appearance, or how she sings. The almost unrestricted audition sessions drew contestants of ages ranging from 4 to 89 years old. The 2005 season attracted more than 120,000 applicants during the preliminary selection rounds, held in the five provinces of Hunan, Sichuan, Guangdong, Henan and Zhejiang. Many applicants travelled long distances to take part in the competition hoping to become a star. Each contestant was allowed 30 seconds to perform in front of judges and find out if they were selected for the preliminary regional rounds. To prevent another overwhelming audition season, a minimum age of eighteen was later set during the 2006 season. Following the selection of contestants in the five regions, the competition began with the preliminary rounds. Preliminaries were held in each of the five locations where auditions were located. Television viewers were able to watch each of the preliminaries and vote for their favorite singers. Voting was conducted by telephone and text messaging. The regional preliminaries were followed by a weekly broadcast knockout competition held in Changsha, Hunan province. Viewers called in to vote for their favourite singers, and the weakest two—as voted by the judges and the audience's weekly SMS— faced off subsequently in a PK, short for Player Kill. The term is derived from kill or be killed multiplayer online games. The singer with the fewest votes was then eliminated. Unlike Pop Idol, the last event was contested between the final three, rather than the final two contestants. Unlike American Idol, judges for the competition were selected from different backgrounds in society, but they were all still Chinese. A few dozen "audience judges" were selected in addition to several professional judges. History
The original version of the show was known as Super Boy, and aired in 2003 on Hunan Entertainment Channel, a local broadcaster based in Changsha, Hunan province in South Central China. The show was a success and its counterpart, Super Girl, aired at the beginning of 2004 with the slogan, "Sing as you want, sing out loud," and became the most viewed show in Hunan. However, the programme's impact was limited as the channel does not broadcast outside the province. On May 6, 2004, Super Girl was introduced to a national audience by its producer Liao Ke through Hunan Satellite Television. In addition to broadcasting the original episodes created by Hunan Entertainment Channel, the network also developed this show in other 3 cities: Wuhan in Hubei province, Nanjing in Jiangsu province, and Chengduin Sichuan province.

Liu Zhongde of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference criticised both the show and its negative influence on society, saying the audience watches the program under a distorted mentality and in an unhealthy condition. He claimed that the government departments oversee culture and art, and they should not permit something like Super Girl to exist. He admitted it was the choice of the market while claiming it as low culture. He said it was not as bad as the 1983 Anti Spiritual Pollution Campaign, but the elements are there: cultural invasion, suspicion of market forces, spiritual health, preservation of national culture, and allegations of popular entertainment spreading corruption among the youth, all facing off against a new concept of socialist morality. Economic impact
Mengniu Milk Group reportedly paid ¥14 million to Hunan Television for rights to sponsor the show's broadcast outside Hunan province beginning with the 2005 season. Season summary

2006 season
The third season of Super Girl'' aired from April 2 to September 30, 2006. Shang Wenjie's selection as grand champion over Tan Weiwei, who is a professional vocalist from Sichuan Conservatory of Music, raised questions over each candidate's public appeal. Speculations arose that Shang, who appeared to be a copycat of Li Yuchun's image (somewhat androgynous), was voted grand champion due to the appeal of her Cinderella story.
Шоудың бастапқы нұсқасы Super Boy деп аталды және 2003 жылы Оңтүстік-Орталық Қытайдағы Хунань провинциясының Чанша қаласында орналасқан жергілікті телеарна – Хунань ойын-сауық арнасында көрсетілді. Шоу табысты болды және оның аналогы Super Girl 2004 жылдың басында "Өздерің қалағандай ән салыңдар, қатты ән салыңдар" деген ұранымен эфирге шықты және Хунаньда ең көп тамашаланған шоуға айналды. Алайда, бағдарламаның әсері шектеулі болды, өйткені арна провинциядан тыс жерде хабар таратпайды. 2004 жылдың 6 мамырында Super Girl-ды ұлттық көрермендерге продюсер Лиао Ке Хунань спутниктік теледидары арқылы таныстырды. Хунань ойын-сауық арнасы жасаған түпнұсқа эпизодтарды таратумен қатар, желі бұл шоуды басқа 3 қалада да дамытты: Хубэй провинциясының Ухань қаласында, Цзянсу провинциясының Нанкин қаласында және Сычуань провинциясының Чэнду қаласында. Бұл шоуға әр қалада орта есеппен 10 000 қатысушы қатысып, бүкіл елдің назарын аударды. Хунань спутниктік телеарнасы 2005 жылдың 19 наурызында Super Girl сериалының екінші маусымын ұсынды. Алдын ала іріктеу кезеңдері бес қалада түсірілді: Хунань провинциясының Чанша қаласында, Гуандун провинциясының Гуанчжоу қаласында, Хэнань провинциясының Чжэнчжоу қаласында, Чжэцзян провинциясының Ханчжоу қаласында және Сычуань провинциясының Чэнду қаласында. Маусымның ортасында бұл байқау бүкіл елдегі көрермендерді қызықтырып, ондаған миллион көрермені қамтитын материктік Қытайдағы ең танымал ойын-сауық шоуларының біріне айналды. Финалда бір уақытта 280 миллион көрермен болды, бұл Pop Idol финалының 12 миллион көрерменінен әлдеқайда көп. Шоуды Қытай Орталық Теледидары "вульгарлық және манипуляциялық" деп айыптағанына қарамастан, үшінші маусым 2006 жылдың басында басталды және қазан айының басында аяқталды. 2006 жылдың 18 қаңтарында Қытай Ұлттық Филателия Корпорациясы 2005 жылғы жеңімпаз Ли Ючунның суреті бар пошта маркаларын шығарды. Маркалар жиынтығы Ли Ючуннің 22 жасқа толуына арналған. 2009 жылдың 11 мамырында әлемдік танымал телешоу The Oprah Winfrey Show 2005 жылғы байқауда үшінші орын алған Чжан Лянъинды американдық теледидарда ән орындауға шақырды. Шоудың тақырыбы "Дүниедегі талант" болды және Чжан Лянъин шоудағы жалғыз шығыс азиялық әнші болды. Жеңімпаз болмағандар да басқа жолдармен жазу индустриясына қадам баса алды. 2005 жылғы байқауда бесінші орын алған Цзи Миньцзя 2006 жылы Лос-Анджелесте жапондық аниме сериалы The Galaxy Railways үшін атақты әнді жазуға көмектесу үшін жұмыс істеді. 2007 жылдың 15 наурызында жапондық жазу тобы Hello! Project 2006 жылғы Чанша аймақтық байқауының 50 үздік қатысушысының бірі Ли Чунды өздерінің поп-тобы Morning Musume-нің екі жаңа мүшесі ретінде жариялады. Бұл байқау теледидар продюсерлерін басқа да таланттарды іздеу шоуларын жасауға шабыттандырды, соның ішінде American shows сияқты The Apprentice-ке негіделген шоулар да бар. Шоу 2007 жылы тәуелсіз қытай кинорежиссері Цзянь И жасаған және Кембридж кинофестивалінде көрсетілген Super, Girls! атты құжаттық фильмнің тақырыбы болды. ARTiSIMPLE Studio өндірген Super, Girls! – "Супер қыздар" туралы жасалған жалғыз толық метражды тәуелсіз құжаттық фильм. Үшінші маусымда 800 миллионнан астам мәтіндік хабарлама жіберілді және ел бойынша жанкүйерлер клубтары пайда бола бастады. Кейбір мәдениет және медиа сарапшылары Super Girl-ды "мәдени демократия үшін жол ашуымен" және Қытайдың ойын-сауық индустриясындағы элитаризмді жоюымен мақтады, ал басқалары шоудың қоғамдағы сыртымдылықты білдіретінін, "көрініс артындағы манипуляциялармен және заманауи әсемдікпен" қозғалғанын айтты. Экономикалық әсер:
Super Girl or Super Voice Girls (; literally: "Super Female Voice", as it is homonym with "Super girl") was a Chinese singing contest for female contestants, organized by Hunan Satellite Television between 2004 and 2006. The show's official name was Mengniu Yoghurt Super Girl Contest until 2009; later it was known as BBK Music Phone Super Girl Contest, after the company that sponsored the series. It was generally described as the unofficial mainland Chinese version of the global television franchise Pop Idol (2001) and became one of the most popular entertainment shows in the country. Despite Super Girl'''s major popularity and success, the show was heavily criticised by Liu Zhongde, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. He essentially claimed Super Girl was poison for the youth. The program was relaunched in 2009. The Chinese title was changed to Happy Girls though the official English title remains unchanged as Super Girl. In 2011, the Chinese government banned Super Girl from airing, claiming the program to be too long. The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) told the Hunan station that Super Girl broke time rules for this kind of show. They should be no more than 90 minutes long, but episodes of Super Girl can last more than three hours. More than 2.5 billion people watched the show. Huanan announced a third incarnation of the show on October 30, 2015. Auditions for the series closed on April 16, 2016. Outline
Partly inspired by the many spinoffs of the UK show Pop Idol, the competition was open to any female contestant regardless of her origin, appearance, or how she sings. The almost unrestricted audition sessions drew contestants of ages ranging from 4 to 89 years old. The 2005 season attracted more than 120,000 applicants during the preliminary selection rounds, held in the five provinces of Hunan, Sichuan, Guangdong, Henan and Zhejiang. Many applicants travelled long distances to take part in the competition hoping to become a star. Each contestant was allowed 30 seconds to perform in front of judges and find out if they were selected for the preliminary regional rounds. To prevent another overwhelming audition season, a minimum age of eighteen was later set during the 2006 season. Following the selection of contestants in the five regions, the competition began with the preliminary rounds. Preliminaries were held in each of the five locations where auditions were located. Television viewers were able to watch each of the preliminaries and vote for their favorite singers. Voting was conducted by telephone and text messaging. The regional preliminaries were followed by a weekly broadcast knockout competition held in Changsha, Hunan province. Viewers called in to vote for their favourite singers, and the weakest two—as voted by the judges and the audience's weekly SMS— faced off subsequently in a PK, short for Player Kill. The term is derived from kill or be killed multiplayer online games. The singer with the fewest votes was then eliminated. Unlike Pop Idol, the last event was contested between the final three, rather than the final two contestants. Unlike American Idol, judges for the competition were selected from different backgrounds in society, but they were all still Chinese. A few dozen "audience judges" were selected in addition to several professional judges. History
The original version of the show was known as Super Boy, and aired in 2003 on Hunan Entertainment Channel, a local broadcaster based in Changsha, Hunan province in South Central China. The show was a success and its counterpart, Super Girl, aired at the beginning of 2004 with the slogan, "Sing as you want, sing out loud," and became the most viewed show in Hunan. However, the programme's impact was limited as the channel does not broadcast outside the province. On May 6, 2004, Super Girl was introduced to a national audience by its producer Liao Ke through Hunan Satellite Television. In addition to broadcasting the original episodes created by Hunan Entertainment Channel, the network also developed this show in other 3 cities: Wuhan in Hubei province, Nanjing in Jiangsu province, and Chengduin Sichuan province. This show attracted an average of 10,000 contestants in each city and received nationwide attention. Hunan Satellite Television introduced a second season of Super Girl on March 19, 2005. The preliminary rounds were filmed in five cities: Changsha in Hunan province, Guangzhou in Guangdong province, Zhengzhou in Henan province, Hangzhou in Zhejiang province, and Chengdu in Sichuan province. By the middle of the season, the competition captivated a nationwide audience and became one of the most watched television entertainment shows in mainland China with tens of millions of viewers. The final peaked at 280 million viewers at a given time, dwarfing the 12 million viewer figure for the finals of Pop Idol. Despite the show being condemned by China Central Television as being "vulgar and manipulative", a third season of the show was launched and finished in early October 2006. On January 18, 2006, China National Philatelic Corporation released a postage stamp issue featuring 2005 winner Li Yuchun. The set was released ahead of Li's 22nd birthday in her commemoration. On May 11, 2009, The Oprah Winfrey Show, a worldwide famous television show, invited Zhang Liangying, who ranked 3rd overall in the 2005 contest, to make an American television singing debut. The subtitle of the show was "The World's Got Talent" and Zhang Liangying was the only East Asian singer in the show. Some who were not chosen as winners have also been able to enter the recording industry through other means. Ji Minjia, who ranked 5th overall in the 2005 contest, worked in Los Angeles in 2006 to help with production of the title song for Japanese anime series The Galaxy Railways. On March 15, 2007, Japanese recording group Hello! Project announced Li Chun, one of the top 50 contestants in the 2006 Changsha regional, as one of two new members of Chinese ancestry of its pop group Morning Musume. The contest has also inspired television producers to create other talent search shows, including ones based on American shows such as The Apprentice. The show was the feature of a 2007 documentary titled Super, Girls!, produced and directed by independent Chinese filmmaker Jian Yi during the 2006 contest season and released at the Cambridge Film Festival. An ARTiSIMPLE Studio production, Super, Girls! is the only independent feature length documentary ever made about the "Super Girls". Over 800 million text messages were sent during the third season of Super Girl, and fan clubs began to appear throughout the country. While some culture and media experts praised Super Girl in blazing "a trail for cultural democracy" and breaking elitism in China's entertainment industry, others were quick in pointing out that the show represented a superficiality in society, "propelled by behind the scenes manipulation and state of the art pomp and circumstance".

He admitted it was the choice of the market while claiming it as low culture. He said it was not as bad as the 1983 Anti Spiritual Pollution Campaign, but the elements are there: cultural invasion, suspicion of market forces, spiritual health, preservation of national culture, and allegations of popular entertainment spreading corruption among the youth, all facing off against a new concept of socialist morality. Economic impact
Mengniu Milk Group reportedly paid ¥14 million to Hunan Television for rights to sponsor the show's broadcast outside Hunan province beginning with the 2005 season. Season summary

An ARTiSIMPLE Studio production, Super, Girls! is the only independent feature length documentary ever made about the "Super Girls". Over 800 million text messages were sent during the third season of Super Girl, and fan clubs began to appear throughout the country. While some culture and media experts praised Super Girl in blazing "a trail for cultural democracy" and breaking elitism in China's entertainment industry, others were quick in pointing out that the show represented a superficiality in society, "propelled by behind the scenes manipulation and state of the art pomp and circumstance". Criticism
Liu Zhongde of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference criticised both the show and its negative influence on society, saying the audience watches the program under a distorted mentality and in an unhealthy condition. He claimed that the government departments oversee culture and art, and they should not permit something like Super Girl to exist. He admitted it was the choice of the market while claiming it as low culture. He said it was not as bad as the 1983 Anti Spiritual Pollution Campaign, but the elements are there: cultural invasion, suspicion of market forces, spiritual health, preservation of national culture, and allegations of popular entertainment spreading corruption among the youth, all facing off against a new concept of socialist morality. Economic impact
Mengniu Milk Group reportedly paid ¥14 million to Hunan Television for rights to sponsor the show's broadcast outside Hunan province beginning with the 2005 season. Season summary

2006 season
The third season of Super Girl'' aired from April 2 to September 30, 2006. Shang Wenjie's selection as grand champion over Tan Weiwei, who is a professional vocalist from Sichuan Conservatory of Music, raised questions over each candidate's public appeal. Speculations arose that Shang, who appeared to be a copycat of Li Yuchun's image (somewhat androgynous), was voted grand champion due to the appeal of her Cinderella story.
