K-pop star AleXa from Oklahoma became the final winner of NBC's American Song Contest which wrapped up its eight-week run on Monday (May 9).
As Soompi notes, American Song Contest is a musical competition series, based on the hit Eurovision Song Contest, where artists representing each state and territory compete for victory. Kelly Clarkson and Snoop Dogg host the show, and some of the contestants on the show are Michael Bolton, Macy Gray, and Jewel. For the finale episode, AleXa delivered a stunning performance of her dance-pop song titled ‘Wonderland’ live onstage. Becoming the only contestant to score as high as 710 points, AleXa triumphed over nine other artists including Grammy winner Michael Bolton.
"I was not expecting to win at all, but I am so thankful," said the singer through her agency ZB Label. "I was able to perform on stage until now due to the love and support of so many people. Thank you so much for giving this unbelievable gift." AleXa entered the competition while representing her home state Oklahoma, and she was the only K-pop artist out of the 56 participants.
