Washington moves on to the grand final

ALEXA only 5th?! My god, the jury's tastes

[tiejc]

The jury picks were the top 4 lol so I guess it's safe to say Tennessee will advance next week since he's the only jury pick in that semifinal.

[Shawn]

Kentucky / Jordan has a free win if they keep the 50/50 format for the finale - since he's so high in both the juries & televote.

After seeing the live voting results, Riker & Ni/Co could knock out Hueston & Ada this round. Which would help AleXa later on, assuming she cleans up with the current televote.

Well....

Seeing the ranking the jury I think is locked no matter what. Having the top 4 be the jury picks from each show. I think it may hurt. If you don’t let a song face America, because it always moves on. Doesn’t develop a fan base or following. I think MA performance was a bit weak from last time. And it showed in the ranking. Jury voted him 2nd behind Washington, and to be 7th, I believe, isn’t good. I think he would of been the most likely at the end as someone to overtake Washington, given they went head to head last time. 
 

I fell more in love with NH tonight, and prior to tonight I was baised to MA, being from there. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the song, but it’s growing for sure now. 
 

my hope for the 4 America vote in

MA

NH

CO

OK

 

and if they do 1 Wildcard going into the Finals

Staging, performances, and sound mixing were all amazing last night! This felt like Eurovision.

 

The jury is so unbelievably embarrassing, and why is it so hard for them to just implement a consistent voting scheme?  They're out here doing astrophysics just to end up with yet another sappy flop white man ballad.

[Jack!]

Who the hell is on the jury? I understand American and European music tastes will automatically be different, but I can't help but feel every single episode the jury choice has been abysmal?

The jury picks have all been abysmal. Except the first one with Hueston. That song is amazing! 

 

How were the ratings for the 1st Semi Final?

Down a slight bit, but not a noteworthy amount. Stability is good for now, but seeing the quality of the SF from the very beginning would have really help this show start off better.

Here is the jury roster. Tons of radio people so that explains the generic taste level: https://www.nbc.com/nbc-insider/american-song-contest-jury-list

If this gets renewed (I'd be shocked) they should move the qualifiers and semifinals to Peacock and just do a very high quality grand finale on NBC.

[Scandalous]

we better have all voted for miss AleXa

[goveg]

i'm still mad that alaska didn't make it :( that song from jewel gave me abba vibes and that felt great and unique!

[goveg]

i'm glad that my girl enisa is back! green light is so good! 

btw i'm rooting for the amazing alexa to win! 

[tiejc]

Oklahoma, Colorado, Kentucky and Alabama join Washington in the grand final.

[tiejc]

Puerto Rico better makes the finals!

[Jack!]

Is Alexa the bookies favourite? She will undoubtedly win the public vote (I presume there will still be one for the final?) but I hope the jury don't do her dirty.

[tiejc]

Tennessee moves on to the finals. The remaining spots will be revealed on Wednesday.

[Shawn]

Them opening the finale vote a day early is great. Benefits those with fanbases.

 

Also, the jury needs all the nerfing possible.

[Gogetonthebus]

They really need to fix the voting system(s) if they run another contest next year. Total jury revamp plus the qualification methods. This is a mess lmao

 

Praying that the day of early voting counteracts the GP votes for the boring contestants during the show.

TV Cancel Beast has the show classified as "likely to be renewed"

FWIW, NBC seems to be medium-term invested in its success. Network TV is in the dumps generally, so this would need to completely tank next week.

 

If I had to guess, it will likely move to summer and be retooled a bit.

[tiejc]

Connecticut, North Dakota, Texas and American Samoa will join Alabama, Colorado, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Washington in the grand final next Monday.
