Welcome to Americium’s national final for @lgbtvisionblog!

Americium is a synthetic radioactive chemical element which was discovered in the United States in 1944, during the Manhattan Project. It was named after the American continents (North and South America) which in turn are named after Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. It is commonly used in smoke detectors and some other industrial processes.

Now that you know a little more about our element, it’s time to present our five LGBT-related musical projects that are in the running to represent our element!

Here is a brief synopsis of our artists and the songs they will perform.

1. Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls

Opening the show, it’s none other than the iconic duo Pet Shop Boys, whose lead singer is out as gay. While they still are making great music in 2019, they will be giving us a throwback, competing with their 1984 hit song “West End Girls”.

2. Shura - What’s It Gonna Be? 

Shura is a synth-pop performer from the UK who identifies as a lesbian. Her song “What’s It Gonna Be?” is an upbeat song with a music video showing themes of LGBT teenage romance.
