Snoop Dogg said:

‘I am honoured to host American Song Contest alongside my lil sis Kelly Clarkson, aka Miss Texas.”

Clarkson added:

‘I have been a fan and love the concept of Eurovision and am thrilled to bring the musical phenomenon to America. I’m so excited to work with Snoop and can’t wait to see every state and territory represented by artists singing their own songs.’

Kelly sang the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest winning song Arcade on her enormously successful talk show earlier this month, so we should have expected this.

The American Song Contest will include live and original music performances from all 50 states, five U.S. territories, and the capital, with the winner receiving the title of ‘Best Original Song.’

Each area will be represented by an exceptional solo artist, duet, or band who will sing a new original song reflecting the depth and diversity of diverse styles and genres throughout America.

The live tournament consists of three rounds: qualifying, semi-finals, and the grand final, in which one state or territory will be successful.

Clarkson is a Grammy Award-winning performer and Emmy Award-winning talk show presenter. Clarkson, America’s original Idol, is one of the most successful musicians of this period, having sold over 25 million albums and 40 million singles worldwide.

She has eight studio albums and two children’s books to her credit, including the New York Times best-seller River Rose and the Magical Lullaby. Meaning of Life, she highly praised Grammy-nominated studio album, was released in 2020, as was her strong hit I Dare You, which she recorded in six languages with five other singers – very Eurovision.

Snoop Dogg is a multi-platinum recording artist, actor, philanthropist, and cultural icon. For over three decades, the rapper has ruled as an unrivalled force, raising the standard as an award-winning performer and worldwide recognized entrepreneur. He has recorded 19 studio albums, sold over 40 million records worldwide, achieved number one on Billboard charts across the globe several times, and garnered 20 Grammy nominations.

Both Clarkson and Snoop have featured on The Voice, with Clarkson as a recurrent coach and Snoop as a ‘mega mentor’ for season 20.

The names of the 56 artists that will perform will be released shortly.
