Over the past decade or so, the Eurovision Song Contest has outgrown its naff, ironic reputation and become such a celebratory juggernaut that imitators were bound to come along at some point. And this month, the biggest imitator of all will be unleashed upon the world. That’s right – make way for the American Song Contest.
Starting in two weeks, the American Song Contest will see performers from all 50 US states, plus five US territories and Washington DC gather together to sing original material and compete for a prize that will be awarded in May.
