We can’t make you love the ASC (wouldn’t want to make you anyway) but here’s our hot takes on the next 11 songs. This week TWO different singers mention clipping a bird’s wings, which is a weird coincidence!

Overthinking It subjects the popular culture to a level of scrutiny it probably doesn’t deserve.

I appreciate commentary about how every new song sounds like an old song.
ASC! OMG! Buy the franchise, kill the show… Honestly, I really, really like some of the songs so far, and I also really like some of the staging. Someone up there has got to grips with how a show about original songs should be staged – but with reservations…
Damn, some of those performance are sung over a backing track – and where the backing track drowns out the on-stage vocals. Y'know, if that was an equal playing field for all the contestants then, hey, OK – but really, is that how American TV works?
Can we talk about the hosts? Please there is a video content for your channel in that alone. Kelly seems to have a semblance of the idea that this is an inter-state contest, that it's about representation and diversity (or did one of her team tell her that?). Snoop? You just get the feel he turns up for the gig, acts like Snoop, gets paid, and goes back home. I caught a vid on YouTube from heat 2 where he was asked what was his favourite performance…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wBFoWumJEI You could see him visibly blank before answering with "ahh…, duhh…., the American Native girl" Seriously? "The American Native girl" ????? . Is this the extent of the investment he has in a show he is actually hosting? This made my jaw drop.
New York's performance would not feel out of place if it were being performed at Eurovision by a Balkan country.
I've just discovered your channel and I now understand why it's called the way it is.
Anyway, I like your content and I'm probably gonna come back ?
And don't even get us started about Catullus!!!!!!!
(Howling here!)
This video is more entertaining than ASC itself
Let’s be real. They didn’t call it Americavision because it doesn’t have a good ring like Eurovision does. I think it was a good idea to call it American Song Contest instead.
Episode 2 had a song called Sparrow…Episode 1 had Michael Bolton, who played Captain Jack Sparrow.
What's really happening here? Question everything!
This is what we need to assess Eurovision; dry humour, incisive intelligence and BREVITY! Your next gig awaits, Matt!
Why are you doing the bullshit American Song Contest that nobody cares about when you said you would be covering Eurovision again?
You made a slight error: there are 56 songs in the contest, not 55. The 50 states, the 5 populated territories, and the federal district: 50+5+1=56. I mean you also said there were 55 states, but considering that so many other Eurovision fans I’ve seen covering the contest (including many American Eurovision fans) accidentally say country numerous times in their videos out of habit, I don’t think it’s THAT big of deal what you refer the 56 places the songs represent. Although a friend from Texas whom I showed a video to of heat 1 did comment when hearing it “Country huh? Now you know at least one state still tries to act like they’re their own country, right?!” LOL
Loved the video! I enjoy the humor you sprinkle throughout your comments about the songs and information about the artists. I get to laugh while also being informed! Thanks!
What is your Venmo/CashApp/PayPal/Patreon? Us fans can send you cash for red bull so you don't use MO state for the MT rep?
Loving the analysis and the humor. Good balance to both!
Im From Spain, Im Eurofan! & i want be Amerifan! But this contest is very visual but lite singers.. all the song have to much back vocal!! What Happen with the quality vocals! I cant found it! Ok is the 1st Year but i hope more Singers for the next year & do you wanna dance?? Perfect! But Sing please!!
I hit the sub button so hard at that duck joke
Finally an anthem which adequately encapsulates the tumultuous cacophony of the millennial struggle. Seven blessings to the easter bunny and his trans-hemispherical luminescent overwatch of the cut. NY looking strong in this year's ASC
