'American Song Contest' fans call Courtship's 'Million $ Smoothies' 'cute and campy'
The first performance of Week 2 of 'American Song Contest' was by the duo Courtship who had the audience grooving to their catchy 'Million $ Smoothies'. The pair from Oregon gave out some fun and merry vibes. Portland native, Eli Hirsch, and Los Angeles native, Micah Gordon sent the audience into a bit of a sway. Hirsch, who now resides in LA, graduated from Cleveland High and has spent his teenage days “playing music in various bands” in Portland.
'American Song Contest' features musicians from every state in the US pitting them against each other with one of the contestants making the semifinals by the end of the episode. The contestants for this week include — Broderick Jones (Kansas), Jordan Smith (Kentucky), King Kyote (Maine), Jocelyn (Nebraska), Enisa (NY), Chloe Fredericks (North Dakota), Macy Gray (Ohio), Cruz Rock (US Virgin Islands), Almira Zuky (Virginia), and Jonah Prill (Montana)

"Courtship performance of Million Dollar Smoothies felt like a fun EuroVision performance in the best way possible! I’m intrigued to see more! #AmericanSongContest," one of the comments said. "I'm pretty sure I will be traumatized by seeing backup dancers as smoothies next time I get one. #courtship #AmericanSongConTest," a fan remarked.
