Representing Florida was Ale Zabala, who was all set to take centre stage. Zabala lived in Columbia until age 3, before she and her family moved to Florida and her Latin roots certainly have a big impact on her music. She noted to her that Miami was the best city in the world and she was happy to call it home. Zabala was grateful for the opportunity to perform on the 'American Song Contest' stage and was all set to unleash her song, 'Flirt' on the world!

Fans were on the fence when it came to Ale Zabala's performance, with some praising the production value and vocals, while others didn't seem to care much for either. "Song 6: Florida. It's so pink and flirty! This is a catchy bop, but honestly could've been more effective with fewer dancers. It's fun, but will it qualify hm #AmericanSongContest" tweeted a fan. "A shopping cart full of disco balls? So so so much pink? A big ass flamingo? Extremely my sh*t." added another. "Honestly Ale is by far the best tonight #AmericanSongContest" tweeted a fan. "I'm feeling this, but dear God ... turn down the backing track. If you told me her mic was off, I'd believe you. #AmericanSongContest" countered another.
