Q: Has anybody seen the new Chinese version of Idol? It's called Chinese Idol!
I just watched it this morning. What do you think of it? The contestants that made it through didn't seem to enthused. And where will they go for the finale? Plus they kept showing that girl judge drooling over all the cute guy contestants....
10 years 52 weeks ago in Arts & Entertainment - China
No why? Maybe if the girl judge gave glitter stickers it would be better.

You would like that wouldn't you? Is it because you are special!
TedDBayer:
I'd watch it if they changed the name to Chinese Idiot with sparkey as special guest
What's the grand prize? Probably nothing.
99Silva:
Since it deals with music I would assume they would tour China and probably come out with a cd or something. Definitely some cash involved although I don't think it will be alot. Most of these game shows, reality shows, singing shows usually give about 10 thousand rmb at the most.
bill8899:
Good golly! 10k and a tour! Think of all the CD sales! Wait, this is China. They'll sell 100 CDs and the rest will be copies.
No, why would I want to watch a crappy copy of a crappy show?
THIS MUST HAVE BEEN DONE IN CHINA BEFORE.
Seriously, there's no way this is "new" here. China loves singing and horrid live TV there's no way there hasn't been a China idol until now.
BTW, on that note, I'm sure the singers are quite good. I always noticed the Chinese are great singers. Must be the tonal language thing, gives them a good ear.
99Silva:
It's the first time I've ever seen it. I know they did a China's got talent and The Voice of China.
Ohh
what the hell!
No Why?
isnt there enough Chinese versions of Telephone and Gang nam style going around already?
No why. Chinese songs have limited appeal outside China, except for novelty value. The show is a waste of time.

It has enough personality's to form the whole group and Judging panel 
Chinese Idol ? Search again ?
I though the Ch.Idol is already on every banknote here ...
I see what you have done. You wrote a series of questions today about how Western brands have been banned in China, but the technology stolen and inferior copies sold by Chinese counterfeiters.
I think you have raised a good point. China is as jealous as hell of western success, to commit these obvious crimes.
Don't worry for doubled T. posts, 99!
T. wants to find out, who 'grant' him all down-votes
.
T. is convinced, all 'bad bananas' come from the same tree.
