How are votes counted on American Song Contest?
American Song Contest will follow a point system in which every state and territory votes with equal power, regardless of population. A combination of public and jury votes will decide who will advance in the competition. “Everybody competes on equal terms,” says executive producer Anders Lenhoff, who comes to American Song Contest from Eurovision. “So, it means that every single state has its own equal voting power. That goes with the territories, too. Whoever wins the popular vote in California gets 12 points, but whoever wins the popular vote in Guam also gets 12 points. So, to win this competition, you need to find support in as many states and territories as possible. You need to find a broad base.” And Clarkson feels it’s about the song that touches you. She adds, “People are going to end up going, ‘Man, I love my Texas person, but that girl from North Dakota, like, whoa. That was an amazing song. I’ve got to give my support to her.’ I think that that ends up happening in the end.”
Will high‑profile contestants such as Jewel or Michael Bolton have an unfair advantage with viewers because of their celebrity status?
“We’ve done a lot of thinking about that, and at the end of the day, where we’ve landed and I firmly believe is the truth, what is playing out over this show is the actual music business,” says executive producer Audrey Morrisey. “All of these up‑and‑coming stars are competing with the Jewels and the Michael Boltons and the Macy Grays and everybody. It is what it is. You can’t undo people’s experience and their profile when you are trying to come up. So, what we are doing is giving everybody an even playing field on a platform and to make of it what they can, and everybody is being given the same support. Michael Bolton and Jewel have more of a profile, I’m sure, with some groups of the American public but not all. I would also add that Americans love to discover new people, new musicians, new songs, new everything, and they also love an underdog.” “I’ve produced the Swedish selection show for 20 years, and I’ve seen it all,” says executive producer Christer Björkman. “I’ve seen stars win. I’ve seen stars fall. I’ve seen new stars being born, lots of them. And the thing is this show is all about the song. It doesn’t matter how famous you are or how not known you are. If you come across with your song, you win, and you just have to be trustworthy. You just have to be passionate about what you do. You have to deliver your goods. You have 2 minutes and 45 seconds. That’s all you have. You have to be there in that moment, and that’s all you need. Famous or not famous, it doesn’t matter.” American Song Contest airs Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT o n NBC.
