Canadian Chinese Idol (CC-idol) briefly introduction
Canadian Chinese Idol (CC-Idol), 加拿大華人新星出秀(加華星秀), is the leading singing competition for Canadian Chinese in Canada. This project has been officially collaborating with China's #1 Production Company/Record Label, the H.Y. Brothers Music Inc., which is leading China's contemporary entertainment industry. Laura Shang, as the China's top POP Superstar, is CC-idol's Honourable Representative since the Beginning. In Sept 2006 Laura won the 1St Place at China's nationwide Singing Competition – "Super Girl of China" (China's "America Idol"). And recently, Laure was again voted #1 Female Singing Star in all of China on April 24Th, 2011, after a nationwide "people's choice" voting, presented by the China's national radio broadcasters - China General People Radio Broadcast.
On Feb.17Th, 2011 the Prime Minister of Canada, Mr. Stephen Harper, specially invited the CC-idol's Chief Organizer Jonison Hisu, the Honourable Representative Laura Shang and the Executive Director Jennifer Shen for a meeting in his office in Toronto. This visit was another "first" for Chinese artists in Canada.
CC-Idol was first launched in Sept. 2009, as an annual contest which spanned over a 5 month period and covers: preliminary, semi and the grand finale audition and performances. September 2011, marks the 3rd consecutive year for CC-Idol. In all three of these events, China sent some of their general leaders, top national producers and production company executives to attend as sponsors and judges. China's top superstar Laura Shang made a number of historical trips to Toronto and Canada as a very special guest performer at the opening and closing ceremonies last year, and she will return to Canada same way this year. The Consulate General of China in Toronto and the Mayor of Markham also made appearances at these events. Jonison also organized an original English song recording with Music Director/producer Peter Linesman and Laure Shang. The collaboration resulted in a new song called "We Will Fly" which was released in China and is very popular with Laure's fans and China's DJ's.
CC-Idol has attracted the attention of many Toronto Chinese Media: reported, witnessed and participated in CC-Idol's continuous progress and activities. Those included are the well known Chinese daily newspaper: Ming Pao Daily News, Sing Tao Daily. Also weekly press: Northstar Press, American Life News, North America Weekly Times, Global Chinese Press, American Weekend News, Canadian City Post and many more have also given a wide coverage of CC- Idol. One of CC-Idol's lead sponsors is The Toronto Sun newspaper, who has donated approximately $50,000 in advertisement space for promoting numerous CC-Idol events. CC-Idol can also be found on several of Toronto's well-known Chinese web media, such as www.newnews.ca , www.yorkbbs.ca , www.torcn.com , www.51.ca, www.torontotv.org, and www.tsctv.net. etc.
Portrayed as "a grand singing competition exploring Canadian Chinese talent", CC-idol has drawn many well-qualified participants as professional singers, vocal students, singers who have competed in other singer competitions, etc. The event has truly setup a platform for a high standard singing competition in the Canadian Chinese Community. CC-idol hopes to build a bridge to further connect Canada and China in the contemporary music field.
