This year, Malta will be represented with the song Loop by Sarah Bonnici. When I was browsing around the website Six On Stage, which is a database that reveals the people who’ve taken part in Eurovision, I saw Ale’s name pop up on the page for the upcoming 2024 edition. When you watch Eurovision 2024 on Peacock, keep an eye on Ale’s name.
after the series was not renewed for a season in 2023, Martin the executive supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest, stated that partners in America are exploring alternative options for the series. when will the second season of the series drop after Oklahoma won in the first season with AleXa's song "Wonderland"? it seems like NBC and Voxovation are not making any effort towards the second season like laziness all day.
today, we have decided to imagine that the American Song Contest has officially been renewed for the second season, and i have taken charge of it! all fifty nifty states, five territories, and even Washington DC have come together with potential artists showcasing their captivating and serene songs for 2024! to be honest, i randomly arranged the states for the week rounds (also known as qualifying rounds), bringing some fresh changes compared to the last season in 2022!
now, you can enjoy all the songs in this video on YouTube and cast your vote in ScoreWiz right here in the description, as the songs are separated into the qualifying rounds! or, if you want to share your thoughts, you can leave a comment below and rate the songs using a scale of 1 to 100!
i promised, NBC will soon make an announcement regarding the renewal of the series for a second season in 2024. i am curious about the new hosts, the new dates, whether it will take place in the summer or later, and if it will include different cities similar to the bidding process of Eurovision!
i believe in NBC to bring back the American Song Contest for another exciting season this year!

So, I wasn't a big fan of the American Song Contest. It just didn't jive with me like I wanted it to. And it made me think that what made it different from Eurovision. The main thing that sets it apart from Eurovision is that NBC selected all the songs and all the members of the Academy, so they basically held all the cards, where as in Eurovision, each country has it's own broadcaster that selects the artist and the jury members only for their country. Also, some states just aren't great with music...
So my fix is instead of having states compete against each other, have cities/metro areas compete. The NBC affiliate for each area would organize the selection of that area's entry and. Some states would obviously be over represented: California, Texas, Florida. Some states might be represented by 1 city: Utah, Massachusetts. And some states/territories might not want to take part: US Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands. Point is, the metro area chooses if they want to participate or not.
Martin Österdahl: “Eurovision Canada” dropped, we focus on the “American Song Contest”! https://ogaegreece.com/no-eurovision-canada-eng/ So Where Is ASC? https://www.nbc.com/nbc-insider/nbc-2024-midseason-see-the-full-lineup-of-shows?amp
Feels longer.
Sad that seemingly everyone has moved on. The producers, the artists, any fans. But it was fun while it lasted!
Do you have that feeling too?
