Super Girl or Super Voice Girls (simplifie Chinese: 超级女声; traditional Chinese: 超級女聲; pinyin: Chāojí Nǚ Shēng; literally "Super Female Voice") was an annual national singing contest in People's Republic of China for female contestants, organized by Hunan Satellite Television between 2004 and 2006. The show's official name was the Mengniu Yoghurt Super Girl Contest, after the company that sponsored the series. It was generally described as the mainland Chinese version of Pop Idol and became one the most popular entertainment shows in the country. Despite Super Girl's major popularity and success, the show was heavily criticised by Liu Zhongde, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. He essentially claimed Super Girl was poison for the youth.
