This genuinely feels like a song that America could realistically send to Eurovision and not get too much hate with

[@kasumi1846]

no. - a dear European

[@Theodwarf11]

@@kasumi1846 yes. - another European, it's the only song I really like tbf lol

Continents doesn’t take part at Eurovision.

[@kimjarvis7355]

I could totally imagine this in the Eurovision, but I don't think that it would do amazingly. Middle, probably.

[@DomnulDarius]

Heck no, this would be last.

[@milanienangit4364]

I think Grant and also AleXa had a future in music industry if they win or lose to this competition. I notice that both Grant and AleXa have a stage presence, dance skills, vocal skills and charisma.

[@chrisucl]

I agree

[@SHAUNOFTHEWEEK]

alexa girl’s mic wasnt even on🤣🤣

[@EduardoValenzuelaGoncalvez]

He must to make a full album. I will buy tickets for tour. He's great. I can stop listening this song on spotify.

[@marius9274]

was it live or playback? because it sounds pretty play back like for me

[@EduardoValenzuelaGoncalvez]

@@marius9274 Its Live... The Chorus can be recorded or live according to original format.

[@MkGlez]

For me it was a mix of Luca Hänni and Eric Saade. Good memories from "She got me" and "Popular". This could perfectly work in Eurovision! 🎊 Good job, it really got my attention! 🧿 Love from Spain 🇪🇦♥️

[@igotnoskill69]

Yes grant is clone as luca but eric is lgbtq+

[@chrisucl]

I thought this was a FANTASTIC presentation. He would have done well in eurovision. I'm surprised he doesn't have more views

[@mr.g2727]

He was on point! Great song and performance. He knows why he's on stage and should qualified without a doubt... It was such an ESC TOP3 level! I like the way he syncs his every move with the beat. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱🇺🇸

Texas, Kansas and Puerto Rico gives me Melodifestivalen vibes! So European! Love it! Vote for this 3 and sorry for the Arizona lost, was epic, different... also Alabama is one to watch, the armony between that couple was PURFECT!

[@schnitzelsemmel]

for a pop song, this is way too "innovative" for melfest... if something like this would show up at basically any eurovision national selection, it would completely fail. hope he gets to the final here.

[@bowser1166]

@@schnitzelsemmel I don’t think you're right about that. His stage performance gave me heavy Eric Saade vibes.

[@EJA-hc3ex]

Catchy beat, great staging, sexy moves. Out of all of the singers, this is the most Eurovision Song Contest worthy. If this competed at ESC for sure a top 10 placement

[@matthew-g_smith]

Good song, bad ass country.

[@jfanatcat3031]

Лучшее выступление, не могу остановиться смотреть это номер!👏👍🤩 Теперь я буду не только Евровидение смотреть, теперь и америкавидение.🍿 Привет из России! 👋 Наверное России тоже организовать такой же песенный конкурс с 85 регионами страны 🤔

[@Theodwarf11]

Ngl, the staging is a lot better than Eurovision, but they do have more than 6 people on stage so that helps

[@magnusio5292]

Most likely because of all the commercial breaks.

[@Yarshy.]

So underrated by the Juries lmao.

[@alejandrodezag7913]

I don't know what happened with the other video already uploaded, but I came here to emphasize that it is the best entry already knowing the rest of the entries. Grant understood the assignment... best presence, staging, song and choreo. You have the whole package. GO BIG OR GO HOME TEXAS!!! 12pts. FROM YOUR SOUTHERN NEIGHBORS - MEXICO

[@PajaroReactions]

He has it all to win.

Hows possible this has only 5K views?

This performance was just epic. Sad abt the low voice sound during the chorus but damn this dude can perform so good. The song is a bop and im happy he qualified. This would have done amazing at ESC as well

Haven’t listened to all entries but this is my favourite of the ones I have.. Love this overdue idea for America! Hopefully they can take part in Eurovision like Australia do.. songs have to be no longer than 3 minutes tho and can’t have more than 6 people on stage during the performance 💪🏽 pretty sure all vocals have to be 100% live too? So none included in the backing track This would 100% place in the top 5 in Eurovision. Hopefully the winner of this can enter next years Eurovision

[@pultaceous]

Ever since 2021, the backing vocals do not have to be live, but the leading singers/group need to have live vocals.

[@opedropiffer]

ok, i want him and lil nas x to collab

And yet he doesn't have many streams. Alexa is destroying the streams. She's lightyears ahead of the competition in streaming numbers and he isn't even in the Top 5. New Boot Goofin is in 5th place ahead of him! That's like a joke entry!
