The new American Song Contest, modelled after the long-running Eurovision Song Contest, will be hosted by US rapper Snoop Dogg and singer Kelly Clarkson. Artists from all 50 states will compete in the live singing competition.
Snoop Dogg expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to host it “with my lil sis Kelly Clarkson, aka Miss Texas.”
“I’ve always been a fan of Eurovision and adore the concept,” Clarkson said, “and I’m pleased to bring the musical sensation to America.”
“I’m so happy to work with Snoop Dogg and can’t wait to see every state and territory represented by artists performing their own songs,” the singer, who came to stardom after winning the inaugural season of American Idol in 2002, said.
The competition will include 56 soloists, duos, or bands – one from each state, as well as the capital, Washington, DC, and five US territories – competing for the title of the greatest new original hit song in the country.
The eight-week television series will start on NBC on March 21, with the grand finale set for May 9.
