I hope miss AleXa finally tops this

Me seeing people not know who Michael Bolton, Jewel, The Crystal Method, Macy Gray, and Sisqo are and feeling my years catch up to me:

 

[revallsay]

3 big names? Wow! I would have never expected Michael Bolton or Jewel! Macy Grey is a shocker also!

 

[Fluke]

Any words on wether there will be any partial or full previews of the songs at all, or will we hear them for the first time on the night of the contest?

Michael Bolton?

Office Space - Michael Bolton Interview with the Bobs

Scene from Office Space where "The Bobs" interview the character Michael Bolton. The Bobs are fans of the singer of the same name, but Michael tries to hide...

Michael Bolton, Jewel

Forgot to include these 2, btw. Bolton was popular here in the 90's, Jewel was played on the radio in the end of the 90's.

K-pop in Oklahoma of all places. This should be interesting.

Sadly they couldn't get Carrie Underwood.

@Loindici Pretty sure Almira is Indonesian.

Bizzare, right? However, I feel she'll release something similar to "Tattoo" which is more generic and Western-friendly

Which, I hope, isn't going to be the case. I'd love if she'll bring Xtra vibes to the stage!

@Loindici Pretty sure Almira is Indonesian.

In case of Almira, I've never heard of her name TBH. She's not celebrated here in Indonesia unlike NIKI or Rich Brian, but I hope this will give her some publicity and opened Indonesian's eyes towards her.

I think this will be an interesting event to watch, I am looking forward to watching it

I was surprised by the big names, I thought it would only be "young" singers at the beginning of their career. I don't know a lot of the acts competing but I'm really curious!

 

[Betwixt Tales]

I'm so freaking excited to see Macy Gray(!) for Ohio. I mean, it's just below Michigan, so I can root for her without totally abandoning my family ties to Michigan, right?

 

[Betwixt Tales]

BTW, do we know anything about if the 3-minute rule will be a thing in ASC?

 

[Looren]

No Pentatonix, am not watching

Not necessarily lol. It's still in the mid-west so I think you're good. I mean, I'll support an artist I like even if they're representing a neighboring state. As much as how New Yorkers joke about New Jersey, most people don't really mind.

Although, the line-up for this contest is VERY interesting! I'll check it out.

The only downside is that our state flags are not as cool as other countries. Of course, there are great state flags but some of them are like...uh...kind of bland.

 

[FilipFromSweden]

Not me thinking The Crystal Method was actually Crystal Methyd from Drag Race S12

 

[midnightsun]

Soooo, I have to root for Allen Stone then. Gospel - Funk - Hip Hop - RnB. Not exactly my kind of music but some of his songs are quite good, some others not so much my cup. Didn’t know him before but checked him out. I‘m just not sure if anybody in the US of the target audience does listen to that kind of gospel hip hop these days? Will be interesting.
