China’s Super Girl - Shang Wenjie
Shang Wenjie’s selection as China’s "Super Girl" was reported on SINA.
Shang had no previous voice training but majored in French at Fudan University. She won China’s version of "American Idol" by singing several Chinese pop songs and one French song.
Shang beat out two other university students and one professional singer.
Shang (middle) works for a French firm.
In her first try in the contest, she failed in the first round. After persuading her boss to give her an extended vacation (she should get a prize for that) she practiced hard and made it to the top 20.
Still not wanting to give up, she went to Guangzhou to try again …and win.
According to Chinese chat rooms, she did not win on her good looks, but rather on her determination, persistence and modesty…and she can sing, too.
China has a new Super Girl.
What do you think?
Wow! Even if there are a lot of differences between France and China, I did’nt know that we can find an “American Idol” here.
Next month, an other show is coming, I’ve heard about some foreigners singing chinese song. I think it’s a must see!
I’d like to hear Shang’s beatiful voice everyday.
Laure Shang is faaaaantastic!
She’s got very sexy and unique voice~
She also covered a bunch of Alicia Keys’s songs, and in my opinion, even beat Alicia in voice!
I admire her courage.
Hearing chinese Supergirl, who doesn’t get impressed by their talented, wonderful voice, hard working and nice performance. What I can say is that Shang Wenjie sang the French song ” Ka Men ‘wonderfully but why not letting 1st runner up, Tan Weiwei sang a wonderful folk song ?
If Tan was given an opportunity like that, I think she could also beat down shang.
By the way, shang’s supporter were impressed by her undespair hard working, different style of other Supergirl & her possesing french language.
Singing French songs make all people in china gave her so many votes ?
Actually in final grand contest, it’s given a privilege for Match Selector to select a qualified singer out as a winner. She should be a prof. singer, having great talented, great voice, hard working, attractive, nice performance, humble and having generous heart.
Excuse me, but shang wen jie shouldnt have won. Her singing was completely disgraceful compared to the other competiters, as I have seen this since 2005, and she is would be the last in singing, in 2006. Another thing, this is not a Chinese version of “American idol”. Super girls did not copy american idol, for the competition rules, etc. are different, and anyway, Super girls is 10 times better than American Idol.
I think it is a bit rude to say that Shang wen jie “Beat Out” Tan wei wei , Liu li yang, and ai meng meng, because she cheated. After a few weeks after she became famous, people in china started to doubt how come she got so many votes, and they researched, and found out that her father borrowed money to buy Sim cards and vote for her, and convinced many people to vote for her “Precious” Daughter. Also, at the start of the final, it was completely unfair to Liu li yang, for she sang better than wen jie, and at the end, Tan wei wei’s voice alone can beat wen jie.
Excuse me, Bonnie? Never trust gossips, especially those which were finally figered out from some losers. All the slanders you talked about Laure’s father was from one of their neighbors-”Qili(I might got the name wrong)”, who tried to take advantage of Laure to make money but failed! It’s totally OK whether you like her or not, but just remember to respect, and leave lies away.
Whenever you like her or not, the FACT is she is adored by thousands of ppl, she won the contest, what’s more, she was the “most popular” in all the four concerts in Shanghai,Shenzhen,Nanjing and some other city I forgot. Her fans bought more than 50% tickets of the shows, especially in Guangzhou, 70% of the audience came for her!
I think her singing is beautiful. :3 It reminds me of Vivi’a voice, in a way. Honesty, I don’t like the other girl’s voice, what’s her name? >.

Anyways, I love her singing. It’s very beautiful. To say the truth, she’s not all that pretty, she’s pretty normal if you don’t look at her fashion styles and hair. :3 ANYWAYS, I’m her fan from the beggining, Oh, and I LOVED Han zhenzhen. :3
Laure Shang has this voice that makes her seem like she has a cold. In china, it’s called bi qiang. I love that kind of voice. If you think tan weiwei is a good singer, well, isn’t that obvious??? she is a proffesional singer having gone through 4 years of proffesional training. Of course Laure can’t beat her in singing skills. But Laure has not been through any training before… I am a zhi ma… (the name of her fans) and I will support her. And listen to her song a la claire fontaine!!!
I just think she’s awesome
I can’t believe she failed the first two times she tried out. She’s awesome!Her voice is so special.
To be a good supporter of our idol or singer. We should be humble and sincere in reflecting his/ her attitude as sample to the other fans. Won’t you think that it’s not good to urgue or mock other super Girl’s participant.
It’s not whether they are talented or professional singer but on fans’ heart and mind, he or she is their idol to be mimic.
I love Tan Weiwei 2006 and Jane zhang 2006 since the beginning of the contest but when they are not going out as a winner, I wasn’t get into despair. Coz I believe that through their hardworking,practising, talented, attitude, encouragement,sincerity, tolerated of others ; they will generally become great singer amoung the others in China.
If you love and fond of somebody; believe in, support and do the best for them but not cheating or threatening the others.
Let’s us prays and see that God will fulfil your dreams come true.
Remember : Your God and My God are one.
Let’s don’t argue about Liu Liyang, Tan Weiwei, Ai Mongmong and Laure.
Still remember the 11th winner, Gonghe ? I love natural voice and performance. She absolutely a great singer. Wondering her 7 times of PK, she can go through them all and become the 3rd winner.
Why on the grand final, she losed it and Shang Wenjie successfully go into the 10th winner? Although Gong’s voice of vote is 2 times greater than Shang’s at that time. It makes me wonder that audience or promoter’s voting isn’t fair.
On the final grandfinal if Shang won from Tan, I can trust it through voice vote and promotion’s vote on stage.
Don’t you think it is weird? Coz none of the judges choose and put Shang into 10 winner selection.
I’m losing and regretting of this event. Really ! I was disappointed and in sorrow when I was watching TV that Gonghe lost into final.
Yeah, I like Gong He a lot too!! She’s such a great singer. Too bad things didn’t go her way. She really shouldn’t have lost to Wen Jie in the qualifying rounds. The fact that they include ex and present contestants as part of the voting group is unfair. But it’s over and well, at least she can sing though her fashion sense might be totally out of question. But I have to say I don’t like her very much, not my kind of Super Girl champion anyway.
As most of judges said ” A perfect professional singer is bothered to participate in singing contest as voting don’t support or stand by you, that’s the case who beat down somebody else.
People who need people are the luckiest people in the world.
My family and I support Laure Shang very much. Her way of singing, vocal and spirit encourages us to step further on music and world strecthing voice.
While on the other side, my youngest brother love Tan very much since the first performance of her while singing “I’m dancing alone - Wo Yi Ge Ren Tiaowu ” as I love this song as well.
My brother more fonding of her singing style, professionally trained voice, great stage performance, expressions of waving her voice which attract your mind.
Wouldn’t you believe and wondering to put a vote to this singer? Even Supergirl’s judges always support and praise Tan sang wonderfully & seriously on every events of contest.
It’s hardly even to find a great singer like her. Won’t you impressed by her ” Hai Shi Shen Lou”, “Qing Zhang Gao Yuan “, “Dang Shi”, “Shi le Dou Yao Ai ” etc.
Where I can download Shangs’ EP?
Shang is perfect not only in singing but also in her spirit. Being well educated,showing her brave and confidence.Shang has really brought in a good fashion of the entertainment.Not wanting to give up,China has a real new super girl!
