American Song Contest

[Ja,Lucifer]

Službena objava:

Europe’s favourite TV show will travel across the ocean to the United States of America! The American Song Contest will take place during the holiday season of 2021.

The American version of the Eurovision Song Contest will, as it is currently conceived, position the artists head to head against other states’ representatives in a series of 5-10 televised Qualifier Competitions, leading to Semi-Finals and the ultimate primetime Grand Final.

Martin Österdahl, Executive Supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest: “The Eurovision Song Contest’s unique legacy dates back 65 years and its worldwide popularity is still rising. It’s time for America to experience this spectacle, through its sister competition, the American Song Contest. Love of music is universal and celebration of music in different genres and styles can transcend boundaries and unite people. We are excited to have found the right partners to offer another series that our fans across the globe can fall in love with and to share this unique competition with the American people.”

The team
The force behind The American Song Contest and EBU’s brand entrée into America includes some of the top global minds in entertainment, music and television. Anders Lenhoff, one of Europe’s top creative producers, is joined by Peter Settman, a leading television entrepreneur and producer, Ola Melzig, a renowned television and mega-event producer, and Christer Bjorkman, who famously performed on the Eurovision Song Contest and later became one of its longest-running producers. Crucial to the team in the U.S. is Ben Silverman, the prolific producer and television executive who propelled the American version of The Office to global status as well as creating The Biggest Loser, finding and packaging Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Ugly Betty, Jane The Virgin and many more global hits. The team holds the long-term license to run the competition in the United States.

The American Song Contest producer Mr. Lenhoff, on behalf of his producing partners Björkman, Melzig and Settman, said: “Imagine if music was an Olympic sport and artists from all over the world came together to compete for the gold. That’s the Eurovision Song Contest. The American version will be different than anything seen before on U.S. television, marrying the fanfare and excitement of March Madness and the NFL playoffs with the artistry and beauty of world-class performances. The American Song Contest is a competition that happens to be televised, rather than a contest created to make a television show. And it’s open to all singers with a song, whether they are amateur artists or already signed to a major record label. No one is excluded from the competition.”

The Academy
As a lead up to the live televised competition, Propagate Content and The American Song Contest producing team will create The American Song Contest Academy, a group consisting of music professionals based in the U.S. that represent all genres and backgrounds. These members will create juries of artists and music industry notables who, along with the regional audiences, will select top talent from all 50 states to compete. These representatives of each state can be either solo artists, duos or bands with up to 6 members.

[favorit]

Bit će zanimljivo za popratiti ako ništa drugo. Baš me zanima hoće li pjesme postati hitovi ili će se na njih odmah zaboraviti i hoće li pobjednik ići kao predstavnik SAD-a na Eurosongu

Briga me znači šta govore

[PamSwynford]

Ovo će im biti flop u rangu Eurovision Asia. Znači, oni su 'ladno predstavili cijelu ekipu, a televizije koje će emitirati to?!

[cas]

Nesto nisam ni ja optimistican glede ovoga tbh ali pricekajmo

[Altairfan]

Samo neka se njihov predstavnik ni slučajno ne pojavi na ESC-u .

[celoselo]

Kazakhstan može osvojit 100 JESC-ova, ali džaba. Sada Bjor-Kim-Un ima još jednu zemlju koja će mu dati 12 kod žirija.

[tdlrhd]

držim fige da ovo propadne kao i Eurovision Asia

[Amelie88]

Voljela bih da im uspije to, znam da će meni biti zanimljivo ispratiti biranje pjesama, ali kao ni Altairfan, ne želim da se približe ESC-u, još se ni s Australijom nisam pomirila.

[Jobi]

Vidim svi ste ravnodušni, izgleda ja jedini nahajpan za ovo haha

zasto predviđate flop, meni se bas cini da bi se Ameri mogli potrudit oko pjesama. mogli bi oni to fino prodat publici, ovisi koliko se misle posvetiti PR-u. Zamislite da ispadne kroz koju godinu hype ala superbowl pa da na kraju budemo ljubomorni

Još je rano za predviđanja koliko se gledatelja očekuje ali živo me zanima koliko ih namjerava pratit i koliko ih uopće zna kako funkcionira (i da li uopce postoji haha) ESC. Mislim da ce se morat potrudit dobro izreklamirat ako zele da se probiju.

Mene zanima kakve ce biti pjesme i kako ce realizirati sam natječaj i hoće li se osjetit razlike medu državama ili ce sve samo pucat na generic pop.

U svakom slučaju reklamiramo i ESC na ovaj nacin, i da bar nekolicina njih iz USA pocne pratiti ESC super

Uglavnom. super da imamo temu, vjerujem da ce ekipa tu bit azurna pa cemo saznati i komentirati cim izade neki novi trac

[markoman]

Nisam ravnodušan, ali nisam ni nahajpan

Mislim da će konačni produkt biti potpuno različit od Eurosonga. Zanima me kako će se birati predstavnici i hoće li biti većih imena (predpostavljam da neće)

[PamSwynford]

Koliko sam razumijela, same američke savezne države ne biraju svoje predstavnike, već za njih bira ta Academy sa songwriting campova. To vam je kao da Švedska organizira songwriting camp, skupi 43 pjesme i odluči "evo, ova ide za HR, ovo za SRB, ovo za BIH, itd".

To mi je glupo. Umjesto da bude autenticnosti tipa za Alabamu country oni ce im uvalit neki generic pop. Bas bezveze,s time i taj izvodjac onda ne dolazi iz svoje zemlje nego ce sve bit rastrkano

[Jobi]

Ste sigurni vi za to? To bi stvaraarno bilo bez veze. Evo i clanka iz The Guardiana

Amerikanci,standardno.

[facersplaca]

Meni je to isto ok.
Sigurno ce se ovdje radit americki forumvision. :-)
A i oni imaju taj patriotizam u drzavama.
Moglo bi bit popularno.
Taman dva plufinala.
Sve ovisi i izvedbi i pr-u.
I ne bih imao nista protiv da pobjednik dodje na eurosong. Dodatna motivacija.

kaže wikipedija

There will be several pre qualification rounds, followed by two semi finals, and then a grand final.

zato mislim da će se ovo razvući kao jedna sezona nekog glazbenog showa, tipa masked singer ili voice

iako bi bilo super da imaju koncept eurosonga, da čujemo Dakota du Sud duze poa, nekako sumnjam, mislim da u konačnici neće bit ni približno eurosongu

[celoselo]

Hoće li i oni imati supervisora koji će govoriti take it away?

[label]

Pa meni je odmah bilo jasno da će to više sličiti nekom pjevačkom realityju nego eurosongu.

Amerikanci jednostavno ne mogu razumjeti eurosong, kulturološku pozadinu iza natjecanja i tradiciju od 65 godina. Njima je to samo još jedan talent show u rangu American Idola, i dok god imaju takav stav, treba ih držati što dalje od pravog eurosonga. A kao što rekoh na drugoj temi, bojim se da je ova njihova verzija samo uvertira za to.

[cas]

Tocno to, imam osjecaj da ce od toga napraviti reality talent show (eno vec se zna da ce komisija birati, spominjali ste)... ali ako je vec Björki u tome, tko zna mozda i bude dobro, stari je to lisac, mada mozda on bude isao u smjeru MF koji je ipak nekako 'hladniji' i sterilniji od Eurosonga
