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.
