Eurovision signs deal to create US version of song contest with rival musicians from all 50 states

The Eurovision Song Contest travels to America!

 

5 to 10 eliminatory contests with vote by phone like in Europe. I wonder if most Californians and Texans will vote for the musician representing their state and if the blue/red state divide will go also influence our choices.

I love this idea! If they do it, I hope it's just as over-the-top as the Eurovision Song Contest

First reaction, this is a terrible idea and all about money.

If it works I'm sure you'll see in Canada.

 

Who will the Quebecoise vote for?

The Azerbaijani government investigated the citizens who voted for the Armenian singer.

 

Eurovision To Announce Decision On Azerbaijan Investigation

I just found out about Eurovision due to the movie loved all their songs.

 

Wouldn't this just be like America's Got Talent, The Mask, or The Voice. How exactly would it be different from other singing shows.

Let us decide if we like it and let Canadians also choose.

 

If you don't like Eurovision just skip this thread.

Well obviously the whole state vs state thing. Americans have a lot of (often misguided IMO) loyalty to their states. It would be like a competition not only amongst the singers but of talent vs people just voting for their home states.

 

I think if they do this, they need to specifically organize it so that big states go against other big states and small vs small at the beginning. You don't want Texas vs Vermont, you want Texas vs California and Wyoming vs Vermont. That way it could be more about talent than just whatever states have the most people winning automatically.
