It took yeaaars for Eurovision to become what it is today, take a look back at 1956. You have to be fair and not have too high standards for it at the start
We're not talking about production value, rather that it takes time to build a brand and a reputation of a tv-show. Doesn't really matter how much money you invest into something, to upbuild a cultural reputation and value takes a lot of time and effort. Did you actually believe that the first season of ASC would be on the level of ESC as we know it today?Lol you honestly compare 1956 with 2022 TV? Now that's not fair if anything, for starters the format and technical solutions we have today aren't even remotely comparable. This is a 2022-American prime time, highly invested, TV event that even had an ad running during the Super Bowl Finally (like the most expensive ad space you can buy in the US), let's not compare it to European post war 1950's radio/television standards.
This really does look and sound mediocre, and hopefully it's going to be a one off thing.
Honestly not that bad for a start, Project Runway had waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less viewers (barely 1m) when the first season aired and it eventually became hugeAMERICAN SONG CONTEST was a flop in audience viewers only 2.500.000 people watch it.

I don't know why we should hope it's a one off thing. I hope ASC grows blossoms because I love new music and the idea that people can come together and celebrate each other while also competing
Sorry, but do you mind to link to the comment again? I didn't find it and would like to know.I also love music, but not this concept and I explained earlier on the page why. This is a shallow and ignorant take on Eurovision and it doesn't have any of the fundamental parts to be even mentioned in the same breath. At least the Asian attempt (which also flopped) made sense on paper, this not so much.

I am sure they plan this for the GF like they do on your national GF.If they do it again next year, they should move it to a larger venue, encourage the audience to bring their state flags to wave and reveal all the qualifiers during the show.
My two cents
I actually loved it and it's one of my new favorite shows. It did get one thing right that Eurovision has sadly not: we got to know the contestants, I fell in love with pretty much all of them. I know I'm not alone in wanting to get to know the ESC contestants more, which is why NikkiLabs little Youtube show was so well received last year by the community.
I find it sad how many ESC fans let their hate towards the USA and American music come out and that people wish for this to flop? We live in the most dystopian times, something cheerful and unifying like this is just what the world needs. I must also point out the hypocrisy of hoping that ASC fails as there are millions of boring, heterosexual trolls out there who pray and shout for the demise of ESC every year.
I can't wait for the next episode and it overall just made me so happy to watch it, which few shows do. I hope this show blossoms and that we one day live in a future where the winner of ASC gets to represent USA in ESC
