When 19-year-old Mary-Jess sang for 70 million

TV viewers nobody back home in England

knew anything about it. Her victory in the talent show I Want to Sing to the Stars was seen by five times as many people

as watch a similar UK show,

called the X-Factor, but they were

all from the Chinese region of Jiangsu,

as that’s the only place where the programme is

shown.

Mary-Jess was in China

to study the language as part of her university course when she entered the

competition. A friend had invited her to watch him in a TV quiz show. On their

way, they passed the talent show’s studio. Mary-Jess went in, found a producer

and sang to him. During the competition, she had classes as usual, then went to

the studio in the evening. When she wasn’t on stage, she was busy doing her

homework.

Mary-Jess used her £900 prize money to fly home

to see her mum. She told her mum how amazed she was to have won the first

prize. Her mother thought it would be fun to tell the local newspaper about her

daughter’s victory. Within 24 hours, Mary-Jess’s story had appeared nationally

and just weeks later she had a manager, a lawyer and was off to New

York with record companies fighting to sign her as one

of their artists. That’s how her singing career started.

to encourage people to watch a particular TV show

to advise how to start a career as a professional singer

to describe someone’s life-long ambition to become famous

to explain what happened to someone after winning a competition
