Last night I watched Singapore Super Star Final, finally. People(We) love this show. We want a fair play game rooted in common people like us. We want to see normal people can also succeed to be a pop star. We are so fancinated by this game. We watched. We voted. We cheered. The show is called "American Idol" in US, "Super Girl" in China, and "Super Star" in Singapore. The even more special success is the king of Singapore super star is a blind.
