NBC is launching a new singing competition named 'American Song Contest,' which will be one of the biggest singings reality shows in the country, with 56 contestants representing all 50 states, five US territories, and our nation's capital competing for the people's vote for the finest popular song. From young talents to up-and-coming new artists and rising stars to established and famous legends, the 56 artists represent a diverse variety of performances. Each region will be represented by an exceptional solo artist, pair, group, or band who will sing a new original song that celebrates the depth and variety of diverse types of music across the country.

The concert will feature a wide range of musical styles and genres, all of which will be performed live on television. The competition will also have three rounds, each lasting eight weeks, as the 56 contenders are whittled down until the grand finale when one state or territory will be named the official winner of Season 1. The series has the potential to be a great smash with fans of singing competition series like 'The Voice' and 'American Idol.' Many people will, of course, want to cheer for their home states or territories during the show.
