[quote=KATRINA,240661]On July 20th, 2007, the Chinese version of "American Idol" --"2007 Happy Boy singing competition" revealed the mysterious veil of its winners.  26-year-old Chen Chusheng claimed the "Happy Boy"top honor.

Chen, who has been a pub singer for 7 years, defeated Su Xing, a 23-year-old student returned from Australia, in the finale. This victory gave birth to a new pop icon of 2007.

This victory reminds me of the 2005 'Super Girls Contest".  The androgynous girl Li Yuchun claimed the throne, and the finale drew about 400 millions audience.  At the year, Liu Yuchun became a cover girl of New York Times. Before Li Yuchun, only one Chinese, Deng Xiaoping,who was the general architect of China's openess and reform policy, had such an honor.
     
    Hunan Satellite TV Station is quite good at making new icons.  After 3-year's successful "Super Girls" program,  "2007 Happy Boy" was designed to creat another sensation.

From "Super Girls" to "Happy Boys", China's pop culture is giving birth to new icons. Is it a new transition?or it does not make any difference in nature?[/quote]
