American Song Contest

[popavapeur]

Alexa was so good

 

[bstream]

PR's song sounds wayyyy too schlager-y to not be written by G:son and Alvaro Estrella

 

[RainyWoods]

*stands like a brick* WE GOTTA MAKE THIS A BEAUTIFUL WORLD


Will you host, Connecticut? Iconic. Bolton ftw!!

 

[Ana Raquel]

other than the absolutely horrendous jury qualifier, this was fine

I'll become a Ryan Charles superfem along with @RainyWoods

Also AleXa Alaturkan sensation

 

[hawadharma]

OMG AleXa definitely wins Heat 1

My guess:

Jury Qualifier:

• Oklahoma: AleXa – "Wonderland"

Televotes Qualifier:

• Wyoming: Ryan Charles – "New Boot Goofin'"
• Connecticut: Michael Bolton – "Beautiful World"
• Mississippi: Keyone Starr – "Fire"

The three winner songs of the public votes will be announced next week at the beginning of the second heat.

The jury, consisting of 56 people (one member of each state) voted for their favourite song too. It was already announced yesterday.

Spoiler alert! Click here if you wanna know the result.

[popavapeur]

I mean this sounds like a true jury qualifier lmao

 

[Betwixt Tales]

Wait, wait, wait, I just heard that they can use a backup track. Meaning, while they may be singing, they can rely on the recoded vocals to carry them through. That just takes everything out of the contest. If one singer is going all live vocals, and another is relying on a recording, then how are you supposed to judge those fairly? This is complete bull.
I thought everyone was singing live. It's right there in the title of the YT videos: LIVE | NBC's American Song Contest

I just watched AleXa's performance. So they don't have the limit of just 6 people on stage AND they can just fully lip synch? That's just complete fucking bullshit.

EDIT: I'm also shocked that people are really so incapable of clocking a lip synch. This is so obvious and all the K-Pop teens are like "OMG she's such a good singer" ... please...

 

[Etanna]

It's so unusual to hear so much fluent English

I also agree about Alexa - did she sing anything at all? The song is good, but the performance is rubbish if she didn't bother to sing her own song

Not a bad qualifier I think.

So it's like Miss Congeniality where Miss Rhode Islands won and nobody expects that
Hope Miss New Jersey will come and save the day

It's kinda weird honestly

Here is a video removing all the backing tracks, she doesn't sing the chorus but sing all the verses and she obviously can sing ?

EDIT : I'll post one from Wonderland as soon as it's done, kpop artists often sing with a backing track cause they're doing choreo and jumps and such but they actually are good vocalists as the kpop industry train them for months and years and basically you're quickly unmasked if you're not a good performer with all those videos separating tracks. Alexa doesn't come from a big agency though so I don't know how much time she trained before debuting but from the moneymakers in the business they're all good singers (when you let them sing ofc)

You could have watched it live - on ESC-plus. I watched their live stream a bit until I had to go to bed.

 

[midnightsun]

I noticed many artist were lipsync. I mean you could hear them "sing“ at times but it was more breathing, talking, screaming keywords… and you could hear the playback very well. It‘s a major down for me too but I guess that’s the price we have to pay for having over the top performances.

Didn't know about it until too late (was in bed early last night) - you'd think it would've been better advertised in advance for fans in Europe, but at least I know now I guess

Anyone have a link for the show? I missed it live and was hoping to watch tonight

AMERICAN SONG CONTEST was a flop in audience viewers only 2.500.000 people watch it.
