Get ready to go bat for your hometown because American Song Contest is finally here!
Organized by Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson, the singing competition — featuring representatives from all 50 states, five U.S. territories, and the nation’s capital — was an eight-week battle, with the winner taking the top spot. musically high. Entrants performed original songs for a respected 56-person jury — a panel of judges representing each state/territory — and for viewers at home.
American Song Contest follows a points system in which all states and territories vote with equal power, regardless of population. A combination of public votes and a panel of judges will decide who will advance in the competition.
The first episode introduced viewers to the first 11 contestants.
Up first, it is Yam Haus from the great state of Minnesota. They performed “Ready To Go”, a poppy, uptempo dance that attracted bands like Maroon 5 and Walk on the moon. Snoop Dogg was impressed, calling it a “hit record”.
Next, it’s a K-pop artist from Oklahoma! AleXa performed a high-energy version of her song “Wonderland”. Wearing a blue wig, her dance moves are just as impressive as her vocals. The performance ended with AleXa falling backwards off the stage to a roaring response from the studio audience and her high school choir classmates back home. See us impressed!
