Sadly, the U.S. DOES have its own competitions... plural. We've just turned them into game shows and milked every last dollar we can out of them. They're mostly based on amateur performers trying to make a name for themselves, for whatever reason.
Not that I feel it's appropriate to compare Eurovision with American Idol, since they're drastically different in spirit and execution, but many Americans probably wouldn't grasp that.
