The American Song Contest (2022) 🇺🇸 Discussion Thread

[Jay28jay2]

The Eurovision Song Contest is going stateside as NBC secures the 'American Song Contest' - a co-production between Propagate and Universal Television Alternative Studio, a division of Universal Studio Group.

The show will feature live performances, representing all 50 states, 5 United States territories and the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C, competing to win the country's vote for the ‘Best Original Song’.

An incredible solo artist, duo, DJ or a band will represent each location performing an original song, celebrating the different styles and genres across America.

The live Contest consists of three rounds as the acts compete in a series of Qualifying Rounds, followed by Semi-Finals and the ultimate Grand Final where one state or territory will emerge victorious.

Can’t wait for this! And 56 new songs to listen to. Let’s see how it turns out :)

I think records will be broke under this format given the extra amount of points that will be earned if it’s under the typical Eurovision rules. That voting segment is going to be so long 💀

Dates TBA

It seems that they are working hard to make this happen and we have had consistent updates on it. We have a broadcaster, interested countries. It’s looking good so far

I know I am just feeding into your trolling but it does not say that the winner will participate in Eurovision. This is its own thing

Bet a country singer will win and the rest of the world will lose interest

Yeah, it's saying that the participants will just be the 50 states, the 5 territories, and Washington DC. So, there won't be any other countries from the Americas participating.

[NICKP]

Will Virgin Islands and Maryland form a voting bloc or be bitter rivals?
