这个节目是中国早期的选秀节目,由湖南省省会城市长沙的湖南卫视播放,类似于《美国偶像》这个电视节目,给普通老百姓一个成为未来明星的平台。

Hong Tao, a judge, said that the show aims to "discover uncut jades that will shine with a bit of polishing."
洪涛,其中的一位评委,说道这个比赛目的是“寻找到需要一点雕琢的可造之材。”
The show was first produced in 2004, and at its height 200 million people tuned in to watch the live, three-hour finale of "Super Girls 2005."
