EUROVISION, AMERICAN-STYLE

For 66 years, Europe has celebrated its countries in song with the musical spectacular known as the Eurovision Song Contest. Now the U.S. premieres its own version with American Song Contest (March 21 on NBC), hosted by rapper Snoop Dogg and pop singer and talk-show host Kelly Clarkson. The competition will feature live performances by musical acts from across the country as the viewers vote for the best original songs in different musical genres. “I’m so excited to work with Snoop!” says Clarkson, 39. “And I can’t wait to see every state and territory represented by artists singing their own songs!”
