American Song Contest

In addition to the title and trophy, the winner has also earned a performance spot on the Billboard Music Awards alongside artists like Ed Sheeran, Travis Scott and Megan Thee Stallion.

The episode also featured a performance from Riker Lynch, a former member of boy band R5 and runner-up on season 20 on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2015.

The show also featured performances from acts all over the country, including Oregon, Montana, North Dakota and Maine.

Hosted by Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson, the singing competition — with contestants from all 50 states, five U.S. territories and the nation’s capital — is an eight-week, winner-take-all battle for musical supremacy.

The battle for America’s best song is officially on.
