Singer-songwriter Savannah Keyes will be representing Utah in “The American Song Contest,” a new competition show based on the Eurovision Song Contest.
Competition series, based on the Eurovision Song Contest, will feature newcomers and established stars.
Executive producer Ben Silverman calls it “the granddaddy of all music competition shows.” And, while producers in general — and Silverman, specifically — are known to be hyperbolic, in this case he’s right. “I think it translates beautifully to America and our diverse culture that is only unified through its music and song,” he said.Contestants representing all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and five territories will compete. Representing Utah is singer/songwriter Savannah Keyes.
Morrissey said that all the artists — both new and established — are being given “an even playing field” with “the same level of support.” And she discounted the advantage Bolton or Gray might have by arguing that “Americans love to discover new people, new musicians, new songs and everything, and they also love an underdog.”“I almost feel like the legacy artists are going to have to work harder,” said Kelly Clarkson, who’ll host alongside Snoop Dogg.
It’s a curated group, unlike the European version, where each country has its own selection show that feeds into Eurovision. “Here, we have no mechanism for that,” Morrissey said. “Hopefully, down the road, we will. But in the meantime, we had to sort of kickstart this.”
