Winner of American Song Contest won’t perform at Eurovision 2022!

The winner of the American Song Contest will not appear at Eurovision in Turin , according to the competition’s executive producer Christer Björkman .

Speaking in an exclusive interview a few days after the second show of the American Song Contest, Björkman said that “it would not be possible” for the winner of the contest to appear as a guest at Eurovision next month.

Yeah I would like to see that eventually. This year is gonna be complicated because we moved our show [back] four weeks due to COVID so that complicated it. It’s now in the same week [as Eurovision] so I think that’s not even doable because obviously in Europe we wouldn’t keep a spot open like that. But in the future – if there is a future – yes, that would be great.

The last show of the competition for 2022 will take place on May 9, just one day before the first Semi-final of Eurovision. Because of these events, the appearance of the winner of the American Song Contest is impossible to be a part of Eurovision 2022. 

American Eurovision fans who hope to see the appearance of last year’s winners Måneskin in the American competition this year will also be disappointed.

I would have loved to have Måneskin in our show. But being in the same week that’s also gonna be impossible. They will be totally blocked in Italy obviously. For a future final that would be great both ways I would say.

USA: More than 7.000 songs were submitted for American Song Contest!

The executive supervisor of the American Song Contest, Christer Björkman, talked in the last episode of The Euro Trip, for the new contest that just started in the U.S.A.

A few hours after the second heat of the American Song Contest, Christer Björkman revealed that more than 7.000 songs were submitted for the first American contest.

He spoke with great satisfaction, saying:

“We had over 7000 submissions. You have to know the difference between Sweden. In Sweden it’s songs only. Some of them are connected to an artist but most of them are not. That’s a job that we do after we choose the song. Here it was a package. An artist had to submit an original song so that’s a totally different story. We had 7000 packages, that’s a lot.” 

In contrast with Sweden and Melodifestivalen, where the composers can submit a demo of a song without the artist and later, the producers of the show will get in touch with an artist they believe will suit the song, in the U.S.A. and ASC, a submitted song, in order to compete, it must for sure have an artist connected with it.

“So the interest was instant I would say. But the NBC also had a very good starting point because the team that reached out was the same team that The Voice had used for the last 20 seasons so they had a roster of 10000 names to reach out to so they were very successful and it is amazing considering that nobody knew what this is. I think it was a fantastic result.”

A while later, the titles of the competing songs in Heat 3 of the American Song Contest were revealed.
