By 2021, you’ll be able to contest or watch talents all over the United States compete on The American Song Content. This is coming after over six decades of Eurovision wowing European audiences. Not forgetting being the platform on which dozens have launched and sped up their music careers.
The Vision Behind American Song Contest
The American Song Contest’s idea is based on Eurovision. It will draw contestants from each of the 50 states in different musical genres who will perform only original works. The panel of judges consists of identified professional musical artists chosen by a jury of artists and industry notables. The audience will also choose the top talents from the 50 states.
The European Broadcasting Union organizes Eurovision as an international singing competition. The first edition was held in 1956, with only seven states participating. The idea behind Eurovision was based on the Italian Sanremo Music Festival, and it has grown in leaps and bounds ever since.
Today, Eurovision is the longest-running annual music competition on television, even though it’s new to the American audience and contestants. In comparison, America is not new to musical contests. The Voice, American Idol, America Got Talent, and many more have always graced our TVs.
What’s the Need For Another Music Competition?
The American Song Contest is coming at a time when the American people are more fractionalized than ever. The contest’s modus operandi Celebrates America’s diversity and unites everyone based on our love for music.
Ben Silverman, the executive producer of The American Song Contest, is among the cast members. He is also one of those who brought shows like Big Brother, The Office, and The Weakest Link to the American audience.
