American Song Contest fans react as Tyler Braden goes into the finals
Tyler Braden surprised everyone when he received the highest jury's vote at the last moment of tonight's episode. Kansas' Broderick Jones had ranked over every singer, but he couldn't surpass the third-last performer of the night.
Tennesse’s representative Tyler Braden found inspiration early in life via his mentor Hank Williams. He worked as a firefighter in Nashville while trying to make it big in the music industry. He currently has 85.5 million regular listeners of his songs. He debuted with his rendition of Needtobreathe’s Brother.
Fans were elated by the jury's vote as they felt that he performed the best country music on the show.
Other performances tonight on American Song Contest
Fans saw 11 performers fight for the final five spots in the finale of the American Song Contest, including New York's Enisa as a redemption semi-finalist.
The first performer of the night, Christian Pagán from Puerto Rico, gave a spectacular performance tonight. He made a bold entry by arriving on a bike and singing a slower version of Loko.

New York's Enisa failed to impress the jury and stayed at the bottom-most of the time. Chloe Fredericks impressed the audience with her strong stage presence and stunning performance.
Connecticut's Michael Bolton's performance was more of a melody than a song that enchanted the audience of the American Song Contest. He performed in his original 'Beautiful World.' Grant Knoche thanked Texas citizens for their support and performed a mash-up version of 'Mr. Independent' and the whole act gave a classic vibe.
Sweet Taboo group gave an energetic performance on Keys to the Kingdom, representing unity in diversity.

Although the song lacked energy, Tyler Braden's Seventeen gave the audience quite a nostalgic vibe. He revealed that he had recently married Marisa Taylor.
Stela Cole thanked the American Song Contest's audience for using DIY as a backtrack too many tik-tok videos. Her performance and her outfit resembled her old version in week 4.
