UNITED STATES – The first semifinal of the American Song Contest concluded and oikotimes was lucky enough to attend the show and meet the participants finally in person.
The red carpet session took place after the show in order for the interview sessions to take place and thanks to Daniel and Efthymis we were there to catch up with the artists.
In the video we catch up with the following available artists (or at least those in the video who are decent to be aired in terms of technical details):
- Montana’s hunk cowboy, JONAH PRIL was a very down to earth guy and we all know how his jacket removal appealed to the audience and the viewers, not to say the hostess, Kelly Clarkson herself. He felt the fun of the performance and the energy of the crowd. He feels he made Montana proud having received huge support from his home State.
- Meeting with THE VOCIE 2015 winner, JORDAN SMITH from Kentucky was fun. The singer who performed first in the show felt the burden and the stress but he loves not only the format of the American Song Contest due to the originality of the songs but he is a big fan of the EUROVISION SONG CONTEST something that automatically makes us feel like we are buddies forever with this amazing and talented artist.
- Colorado’s entrant RIKER LYNCH is a big fan of the Greek islands as he often vacates in Europe and Greece. He has been to Mykonos, Santorini and Kefalonia while he told us how much he loved the energy of the show and the production while performing.
- Ada Leann who entered the competition at the very last moment replacing another artist is more than excited for the chance of performing in the American Song Contest. She knows she slays on stage and we love her for that. Imagine what she will offer us in the upcoming years. Also, Ada discussed Natalie and if she “met” her in her life.
- Catching up with Ryan Charles was an amazing moment. The singer and his boots made everyone go frantic in the studio, dancing alongside and we all feel that this would have been the ultimate Eurovision song if entered in the European edition.
- The amazing moment when we met Alexa will be remembered forever. The singer says to our microphone that this experience will follow her in life forever and she loved meeting us as she follows oikotimes on social media. We all know she slayed in the first semifinal and we all know she will definitely bid for the trophy on May 9.
- Chatting with the amazing Jared Lee was also a moment we were waiting for. This guy with this amazing voice was extremely humble and told us how he felt during his performance. He also revealed to us that despite entering this project as a competitor, he is having a great time with his fellow entrants.
- Last but not least, the American sweethearts Ni/Co not only were excited about meeting us but they also loved they learned from us that if they win they will have to travel to Turin for the Eurovision Song Contest. The duo spoke to our camera about their song and how they pathed their way to the stardom. We will them and we want them among the winners for sure.
