'American Song Contest' on screens in 2022

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.

I'm sure we will ruin it like everything else

as for real Eurovision, are we not voting because Cyprus is finally competitive? I put in years calling from Nicosia

Cyprus was second in 2018. ;)

As for the voting, I had suggested that we just do a straight vote on all 39 countries, but I haven't received any votes so :lol:

Well, it's NBC, so... My expectation is this is going to be some mash-up of how NBC approaches its Olympic broadcasting
and The Voice/American Ninja Warrior style reality tv competition production, with a dash of beauty pageant state/territorial pride. So, lots of state flag waving? Which won't be nearly as awesome as it is for Euros because so many US state flags are indistinguishable from each other. Granted, the same could be said for Europe but sovereign states > individual US states.

I'm really curious to see how they (Eurovision and NBC) structure the voting for this. I assume they want it to be something similar to how it's done with the real Eurovision. Can't wait to see the ringers that the Northern Marianas, Guam, South Dakota, Vermont, etc bring in for this - like, will we hear about how someone's granddad served on Guam during the 2nd World War or how their family moved to California from the Midwest during the Dust Bowl when we get the inevitable fluff/sob stories about each state/territory's contestants? :rofl: /I might have suffered through a few too many Olympics/Voice "human interest" bits during my lifetime.

I have a feeling this might wind up being summer tv fare - The Voice is moving to one cycle per season next year (no fall cycle) so I'm expecting we'll see lots of commercials and ads promoting this show's debut next spring.

I gave my top ten on April 12 th, although maybe i should have waited to watch the official rehearsals? What format do you want?
 
With the restrictions getting less and less we'll be having a small ESC party with a couple of friends. I have already prepared the ESC-Bingo cards and the effects we are going to draw for the drinking game "effect drinking".
We'll also make nice snacks from all over Europe (okay, German bread with a special sausage from my hometown and Russian piroshki with chanterelles and rice-filling, maybe some little pizzas) and I am extremely looking forward to that.
 
So a member of the Polish delegation tested got a positive covid test yesterday and the whole delegation is in quarantine. Today a member of the Icelandic delegation got a positive test result and are in quarantine. Sharing the same hotel are Polish, Icelandic, Romania and Malta delegations. None of the four delegations will attend an event tonight and are all getting tested :(

Daði & Gagnamagnið in quarantine: Icelandic delegation member tests positive for COVID-19

Daði & Gagnamagnið and the whole delegation from Iceland is now in quarantine and will undergo a PCR test. UPDATE: Iceland's Gagnamagnið all got negative results from the PCR tests

I read in the Icelandic delegation is wasn't any of the performers but of course they all got tested again and are waiting for the results. Their spokesperson said the all whole delegation got the Janssen vaccine about 10 days ago before they left for Rotterdam but it takes up to two weeks of course to reach that 67% threshold. They are certain the person who tested positive picked it up there so but they are staying positive and hoping it will be fine to perform live. Said they all knew they were flying to a country on the red list so this was always a risk and say they have been following all the guidelines so it was still a surprise.

From the different forums I have looked at I don't think the contest has been has careful as some of the skating competitions we have seen. This is two countries in the same hotel in the same semi-final so somewhere that bubble has been burst.

Fingers crossed for Daði's wife as she looks quite far along in her pregnancy and it seems to hit pregnant women hard.
 
Well I hope Italy and France won't catch it. And that Iceland will be able to perform at the jury show tonight but I think they won't. Oh well. Two out of three is good so far.

Iceland is in semi-final 2 so their jury show is on Wednesday night. Same for Poland but they got their results back already and all are negative. Iceland still waiting for their results. The positive test was using the rapid tests on Sunday, then they got a PCR test and are waiting on those results.

If anyone comes up with a link for Canada please let me know. I will also try and use vpn as usually have to watch it the day after and would like to watch it live

Can you watch it on the Eurovision YouTube channel?
 
I just had a quick look at Thursday’s songs - Finland sounds good too! :rockstar: looking forward to it.
 
I don’t think the “big 5” should get a free pass to the final.. they should change that
 
I will PM my votes tomorrow after SEMI 2. The songs are quite different in the live performance.
This is absolutely something I need right now. And we are indeed having a party chez amis on Saturday night. Of course respecting the current **** rules.
I wish I had something very tasteless to wear. At least I can have high heels and lots of makeup. Lipstick, here we come!
