Hey Gorgeous (Chinese: 校园美魔王; pinyin: Xiàoyuán Měi Mówáng, previously styled Hey! Gorgeous, Chinese: 校花校草追赶跑; pinyin: Xiàohuā xiàocǎo zhuī gǎn pǎo) is a Singaporean talent-scouting competition which searches for new talents in tertiary institutes. The show ran for three seasons, with a change in its Chinese title during the second season. A similar contest was held in 2009, although it was not broadcast on television.
Hey Gorgeous was preceded by a talent-scouting competition entitled School Belle and the Beau (流星花园), which only aired on MediaCorp Channel 8 for one season in 2004. This season was hosted by Dennis Chew and Belinda Lee, and spawned artists such as Elvin Ng to fame. It took its current name when it was broadcast on MediaCorp Channel U in 2007. Two years later, a similar competition, entitled Hey Gorgeous Online (校花校草上网追赶跑), was carried out in a wider variety of schools, and was hosted by YES 933 DJs. Public voting was carried out through voting online at the Hey Gorgeous website.
After a 4-year hiatus, there is a slight change to the format, as well as its Chinese name. The second season launched artists like Carrie Wong and Somaline Ang to fame.
Dasmond Koh and Ben Yeo serve as the hosts for all seasons. Fiona Xie was one of the main hosts for the first season, but did not appear in subsequent seasons after leaving MediaCorp. During the second season, other artists such as Shane Pow and Romeo Tan join them during the campus searches. In the third season, Vivian Lai and Kate Pang joined as main hosts.
