Crystal Method Represents Nevada, Alaska Fails Jewel and Other Head-Scratchers From the Latest ‘American Song Contest’
Michele Amabile Angermiller If you haven’t been watching “American Song Contest,” you might not know that Scott Kirkland from the Crystal Method is from Nevada. He’s representing one of 45 states that have already competed on on the NBC competition, which is based loosely on Europe’s popular Eurovision Song Contest.Other well-known names in the semi-finals of the competition include Michael Bolton for his home state of Connecticut, with the former champion of “The Voice,” Jordan Smith, competing on behalf of Kentucky, and “Glee” alum Riker Lynch fronting for Colorado.Name recognition, however, isn’t always a guarantee of easy passage through the competition.
