    BEIJING, Dec. 11 -- The winners of the 2006 Super Girls contest will perform their last concert this year in Wuhan on Saturday.

    In a drastic comedown from last year's nationwide craze, this year's national tour has met with a lukewarm response from fans and performance companies. However, E.E. Media, the organizer, has announced that lack of enthusiasm at home will not affect its plan to push the tour overseas.

    The national tour of the 2006 Super Girls began in October, aiming to cover 10 cities, but some industry insiders had already begun to cast doubts about its popularity, since the fans' passion for the Super Girls was on the wane.

    After concerts in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Nanjing, the doubters were proved right. In Shanghai, the Super Girls sang at a theater with less than 10,000 seats, compared with last year's show at Shanghai Stadium in front of an audience of 80,000.
