American Song Contest

[Beautiful Loser]

It. Is. Happenniiiiiiinnngggg! The boss for Sweden's outtakes for Eurovision got bored and emigrated to the States to start...

American Song Contest!!

With Snoop Dogg (Snoop Lion? I forgot what he goes by these days) and Kelly Clarkson as hosts!

From my understanding, the interest is lukewarm at best in America. To be honest, so is mine because I don't really know what to expect, all I've heard is that Michael Bolton competes for Connecticut and Oklahoma has a k-pop artist. But! I'm gonna watch it anyway because I literally have run out of things to watch on youtube, except for Poirot and Kitchen Nightmates. Yes. That's all I have left. And history documentaries.

It starts tonight on NBC! I'm gonna watch it sometime later and root for Georgia.

Yawn can’t we just threaten our way into Eurovision? What’s rhe point in being a world power if we have to resort to sad measures like this. Just tell NATO, mr president, put us in Eurovision or y’all can defend yourselves from russia….

I know you're joking, but I find it quite distasteful considering the tension(s) we're living in at the moment.

I see what you mean but I don’t think its more distasteful than the numerous people cheering on nuclear war because they want a no fly zone in ukraine….. but yeah i realize that not everyone likes dark humor about world events

 

Anyways I hope somebody kooky from Florida or Alaska really any of the peninsulas wins

I haven't seen anyone cheer for that anywhere, so I just assumed it could've been here. Anyways. Let's stay on topic, I guess.

i mean its not that different from American Idol, The Voice, America's Got Talent, etc

[Beautiful Loser]

I’m currently watching... I thought the stage would be bigger because everything in the US is huge lol, but I guess it makes sense since this is the first time they’re giving it a try. ^^’ I was also reminded this is American Tv with all the commercial breaks. :’)

 

It’s not bad! All the contestants are so serious to win, but I don’t feel like any song is *great*? But then again, I rarely like the ESC songs or the Swedish outtakes songs, haha.

It’s cute. :3

 

Edit: LMAO YESSSSS THE COYBOY RAPPING ABOUT HIS BOOTS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
