Chinese Idol (Chinese: 中国梦之声; pinyin: Zhōngguó Mèng Zhī Shēng) is a Chinese reality/singing competition program. Based on the British television series, Pop Idol, which was created by Simon Fuller and developed by FremantleMedia, Chinese Idol premiered on May 19, 2013 on DragonTV and is currently hosted by Chinese TV Hosts Lin Hai and Cheng Lei.
The series, like its British and American counterparts, aims to find the best new singer in China based on viewer voting and participation. Chinese Idol employs a panel of judges to select the finalists and will then critique their performances, these include international recording artist Coco Lee, Chinese recording artist Han Hong, Chinese actor Huang Xiaoming, and Taiwanese producer Wang Wei-chung.
Background
Beginning in 2004, various reality competition programs inspired by Pop Idol and its American counterpart, American Idol, were aired throughout in China.. One of these programs include the female-only singing contest Super Girl, which was canceled in 2011 due to the pressure brought by the Communist Party of China (CPC). The CPC had criticized Super Girl for its "western"-style voting process, a feature prominently used in the Idols format.[1][2][3] In 2012, the Shanghai Dragon Television, brought the rights from FremantleMedia to air a Chinese version after the Idols creator Simon Fuller visited the country.[4][5] With this feat, China became the fourteenth Asian nation to air the Idols format. Chinese Idol will also be the fifth franchise to also be broadcast internationally, after Pop Idol, American Idol, Australian Idol, and Pinoy Idol.[4] A panel consisting of four judges were hired to select the finalists and will provide opinion on their performances, which consists of international recording artist Coco Lee, Chinese recording artist Han Hong, Chinese actor Huang Xiaoming, and Taiwanese producer Wang Wei-chung.[6]
Regional auditions
Auditions for the first season were held from December 2012 to April 2013 in 42 cities across China and continued in New York, Los Angeles, Sydney and Vancouver,[4][7] making it the fifth nation to hold auditions outside its mainland, following American Idol (which previously held auditions in Puerto Rico), Nouvelle Star (which previously held auditions in Quebec), Australian Idol (which previously had held auditions in London) and Hay Superstar (which previously had held auditions in New York and Los Angeles).
