Quote: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, with the executive producer of 'The Voice' at the helm.
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.
In addition to fan votes, a jury of music industry professionals will also lend their expertise to the competition.

Whatever happened to the Asian version?
As for this - be interesting to see how it does but it's got car crash written all over it. I just don't think the Americans will get it and it'll end up being a country bore fest.

Interesting to note the EBU have sold the rights to a consortium which includes Christer Bjorkman and they've now found a partner for Broadcast. This is now at a long enough distance, twice removed, so as not to cause embarrassment and financial risk if it fails.

I wonder if this might fill the hole left by the Golden Globes next year on NBC.

All they need now is a wry Irish commentator to dramatically feign surprise when Nebraska give their twelve points to Kansas for the fifth year running... :lol:

Practically speaking would state by state voting even be possible?

I fail to see how this format transfers to the US. Does music really change from state to state? Can a piece of music really be so popular in California and totally unpopular in Rhode Island for example? Or am I missing something?

Event television. There's still power in something that's watched together, and the feeling you're watching something at the exact same time as lots of other people.
