Fans of the hit talent contest "Super Girl" have been hitting the streets to
drum up support for their favorite singers, and a survey shows the series is a
hit with both young and old.
Since this week, fans of Li Yuchun, one of the three finalists of the TV
singing contest, gathered at downtown Raffles City every night, putting up
banners and persuading passers-by to support their favorite contestant by
sending cell phone short messages. 錕斤拷錕斤拷
Initiated by Hunan Satellite TV, the program gives viewers a big say in the
contest result, which also includes scoring by an expert panel. Viewers can send
in their votes in the form of an SMS, which will count in the candidate
elimination of each round. 錕斤拷錕斤拷
Li, 21, has led the opinion poll in the previous rounds. The final show runs
on Friday night. 錕斤拷錕斤拷
Meanwhile, supporters of Zhou Bichang, another candidate who entered the
final, also hold similar publicity activities in front of the Grand Gateway in
downtown Xujiahui area this week. 錕斤拷錕斤拷

"People are in a mania about their idols, trying every means to persuade
people to join the SMS vote," said Rebecca Zhang, a local office worker, who
passes the vote-raising at Raffles City this Monday evening. 錕斤拷錕斤拷
Market-Expert (Shanghai), a local consulting company, asked 2,873 residents
on the streets of Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing and Hangzhou, about
their attitude toward the increasing hot program. 錕斤拷錕斤拷
Nearly 40 percent of respondents below the age of 45 said that they watch
live broadcast every Friday evening. 錕斤拷錕斤拷
About 5 percent of respondents over the age of 55 said they watch the show.
About 73 percent of those who said they watch the show said that they hate to
miss a single episode, and about 10 percent said they vote. 錕斤拷錕斤拷
Qian Qing, an analyst at Market-Expert, said that the program's success is
due to its low qualification requirements and interactive voting. 錕斤拷錕斤拷
"The program emphasized that it set no limit on candidates' age, appearance
and signing abilities, which means the Super Girls look more like your next-door
neighbors," Qian said. "That interested many middle-aged and elderly people."
