Eurovision | All Artists from the USA

The American Song Contest is right around the corner, so here is a compilation video of all artists who competed on the Eurovision stage with some sort of American connection! These range from being born there with a strong connection to the country they represented, to being fully American and only travelling to Europe for Eurovision itself. I hope you enjoy the video, and make sure to like, comment and subscribe if you want more content like this.
Unfortunately, 2 of the songs had to be heavily manipulated so that the video wouldn't be taken down for copyright!

“The group was awarded honorary Texas citizenship despite none of the band members being American.” 😂😂😂

[@thermostance1815]

actually pretty neat

[@RedCubUK]

Knowing Texas, if they could issue their own passports separate from the rest of the U.S, they would.

[@DennisTheZZZ]

They‘re also honorary citizens of the town Texas in Queensland, Australia!

[@stevengoode7194]

And the backing singers who were on stage, such as Luxembourg 1981s backing singer

[@OlliTamminen]

That chipmunk Flo Rida is everything.

[@ivanmacgar6447]

Am I the only one whose brain has been blown out by the fact that Flo Rida actually hails from Florida?

[@Camira]

As a fellow Texan I too would give Texas Lightning honorary Texas citizenship

[@gonzoprodz2024]

When I was watching the all 39 songs of ESC 2021 video and San Marino came I was like, “The rapper gives me Flo Rida vibes.” I go onto Wikipedia: “Oh, it is Flo Rida.” 🤣

[@eurovisionconnor]

RIP old comment section I guess. It took me too long to realise that "Joseph Oscar Loya" is the Oscar as in "Alex swings Oscar sings". I guess Dita von Teese would also count here, she's from Michigan!

[@morbidsearch]

Now I have something to send to the gatekeepers on Eurovision's American Song Contest posts.

[@thermostance1815]

i swore up and down that Alexa was goin to be an interval act at Eurovision. maybe next year, since they had to delay ASC from February due to COVID, i think. things lined up so well this year, but if ASC starts normally next year, i sort of believe the EBU will do a 2015

[@arvinroidoatienza7082]

This video should be shown in the ASC grand final!

[@steampunklemur]

I think it would be interesting to see a video on all the participants who are from different countries than those they represented. e.g. Johnny Logan (born in Australia but represented Ireland) The only problem would be that Monaco, Andorra, and San Marino would be there a lot ahaha

[@steampunklemur]

Some more examples, aside from those in this video, would be: - Celine Dion (SUI 1988), born in Charlemagne, Canada - Alexander Rybak (NOR 2009, 2018), born in Minsk, Belarus - Jeangu Macrooy (NED 2021), born in Paramaribo, Suriname - Cliff Richard (UK 1968, 1973), born in Lucknow, [British] India - Manizha (RUS 2021), born in Dushanbe, Tajikistan - Dami Im (AUS 2016), born in Seoul, South Korea - Anni-Frid Lyngstad (SWE 1974), born in Bjørkåsen, Norway - Elisabeth Andreassen (NOR 1985), born in Gothenburg, Sweden - Dana (IRE 1970), born in London, United Kingdom - Stefania (GRE 2021), born in Amsterdam, Netherlands - Ronnie Romero (BUL 2022), born in Santiago, Chile - Chanel (ESP 2022), born in Havana, Cuba - ALEKSEEV (BLR 2016), born in Kyiv, Ukraine - Eduard Romanyuta (MDA 2015), born in Ternopil, Ukraine - Olia Tira (MDA 2010), born in Potsdam, [East] Germany - Athena Manoukian (ARM 2020), born in Athens, Greece - Shane Schuller, AKA RiskyKidd (GRE 2014), born in London, United Kingdom - Members of The Islanders (CYP 2010), born in the United Kingdom and Norway - Karen Matheson and Elaine Morgan (FRA 1996), born in Taynuilt and Cardiff, United Kingdom respectively - Tamta (CYP 2019), born in Tblisi, Georgia [Soviet Union, at the time] And many many more [Brooke (IRE 2021) was born in Derry, Northern Ireland, which is internationally recognised as part of the UK, but considered by many to be part of Ireland]

[@screemingslay5415]

You could also include a lot of Canadian participants as well!

[@lexezlao]

And Luxembourg and monaco I think a better option would be artists that participated in Eurovision that aren't European, Israeli or Australian (the question now is if we include Johnny Logan who's Australian but participated before Australia did so)

[@WeaselKing1000]

Johnny Logan may have been born elsewhere, but I'd consider him Irish much more than Australian.

Thanks for the shoutout to the Americans that contributed to the Eurovision Song Contest! As for the American Song Contest, I am curious to see how it turns out.

[@thebrokencode14513]

Gonna reply instead of editing my comment. I do wonder if there will be any participants from the US that would win like Katrina as part of her band in 1997.

[@eiraremejeene]

Ochman is such a looker!

[@steampunklemur]

Dominika Hašková (lead singer of We Are Domi) was born in Buffalo, New York

[@ariccua6101]

Dominika Haskova (CZE 2022) was born in Buffalo, NY but since her dad was a Czech hockey player with the Sabres at the time, she doesn't count. FYI.

[@nick_honea]

Since she would have American citizenship by being born in the US, she definitely counts. At the very least, she counts more than Texas Lightning.

[@ariccua6101]

@@nick_honea Their lead singer was Aussie... And was one of many Aussies that participated before AUS even did.

[@ariccua6101]

@@nick_honea Yeah, part American, since basically she has a bit of an American accent unlike her hockey dad.

OMG How did I never properly realise that Johnny was in Equinox? I love him

[@stergiosnikolaou9310]

Dominika Haskova from We Are Domi is American too🥰

[@beautifulflowersafterhours]

she is czech, she was just born in the usa because her father is an iconic nhl player

[@lydiariera4953]

Eddie Butler (Israel 1999 and 2006) and his brother Gabriel (Israel 1999) were both American

[@aijamberisabel]

Their parents were from Chicago but they were born in Israel.

[@mattwagner7521]

Not sure if this counts for purposes of this video, but Andrea lived in Harlem, New York, for a year before representing North Macedonia in 2022.

[@gonzoprodz2024]

(This is coming from an American) Fun fact: Isis Gee is actually not Polish at all, she just lives in Poland and Hannah Mancini is also not Slovenian at all, she just lives in Slovenia.

[@eddiester]

It’s kinda obvious about Mancini, her surname is Italian lol

[@gonzoprodz2024]

[@morbidsearch]

Isis Gee is American? Her pronunciation was so strange that I didn't even think she was fluent in English.

[@jaersonestera5276]

You missed Maggie parke of park café (Luxembourg 1989) was originated from Salt lake city, Utah

[@argella_d6046]

Flo Rida.... from Florida

[@JonnyTainment]

Interesting note: Romina Power is the daughter of Hollywood legend Tyrone Power.

[@columbannon9134]

And has an Irish background

[@taftybufty]

Actually I never even knew she was American at all 😂😂🤦‍♂️

[@Guaci-chan]

Can you do the artists from canada in ESC?

[@haleighbearofficial]

This gives me hope.... My dream has always been to go on a big show like that. Ever since Eurovision became a part of my life, it's been an obsession lol. And if the American song contest will be as a flop as I feel like it will be, Then idk if I'd want to do that. I have ties with the country of Norway. just saying lol

[@funuleinuk]

USA for Eurovision 🫡🇺🇸

[@aijamberisabel]

You forgot Malik Harris who is participating for Germany 🇩🇪 this year. Although he was born in Germany 🇩🇪 his father is American.

[@AzixxSeraph]

Technically also include Poland 🇵🇱 because Ochman grew in Massachusetts

[@aijamberisabel]

@@AzixxSeraph Poland 🇵🇱 is already in the video.

[@mayamills5174]

You missed Gabriel (Gabe) Butler from Israel 1999. He was born in Chicago, Illinois (His younger brother Eddie also participated in 1999 as well as 2006, but he was born in Israel)

[@pultaceous]

As an American, I think this video pretty much defeats the stereotype that most Americans didn't know Eurovision until the 2010's.

[@BrynjarReynisson]

Not gonna lie spirit of the night sounds better with the Alvin and the chipmunks voices😂

[@chaole1000]

Isn't the lead singer from this year's Czech Republic also from New york?

Germany and Austria love to american singers

[@giladeilon3452]

Isn't Leslie Roy from New York?

[@SalmonTunes]

Can we count Herreys? They grew up in the USA I think…

[@zwanneman]

I think you missed Ronnie Tober (1968, "Morgen", Netherlands). Even though he was born in the Netherlands he grew up in Albany, New York. You can even hear a slight American accent in the song.

[@victoriadeguzman6198]

Germany’s Malik Harris is half-American. His dad is originally from Detroit

The Mamas are back!! :D

[@gg454lune]

Was there any in 2023 or 2024?

[@stephenmurphy2212]

Don’t forget Michael Flatley who was part of the Riverdance ensemble (1994 interval act). 🇮🇪🇺🇸

[@liloanddaisy2020]

Maybe these Americans couldve also been based in Europe at the time of their participation in the contest other than travelling to Europe for the Eurovision itself.

What about Leslie Roe who represented Ireland on 2020 and 2021

[@oopsiesdaisies_]

I dont know, isn’t she indeed Irish?

[@jazzycat8917]

Being married to an American does not magically make one American. Leslie was born and raised in Ireland

[@lucakuni6774]

I’m sorry but Jane Commerford from Texas Lightning was born in Newcastle (Australia).

[@clarinetmoonesc]

It mentions clearly in the video that none of the band are American but were given honorary citizenship (...which kind of makes them American)

[@liamread3215]

Did you miss off Eddie Butler because he's only American through his family heritage?

[@liamread3215]

It seems you missed off Malik Harris for the same reason
