The first Chinese television music talent show premiered in 1984, but from 2004-2015, the genre attracted the attention of young viewers, and generated significant profits for television stations and production companies. The purpose of this thesis is to analysis the features and developing trends of Chinese music talent shows. This will be accomplished by using case studies of 4 talent shows: CCTV Young Singer Television Competition; Super Girl; The Voice of China and I Am a Singer. Through these four typical music talent shows, the research will help to explain the keys to success for music talent shows in the Chinese market; the reasons why they are so popular, and more importantly, to determine the best production techniques for a music talent show to adapt to Chinese cultural norms.. This thesis will then provide suggestions for development and innovation in music talent shows in China.
