What the reports sayEach newsroom’s own summary of its report, from its feed

Performers from 11 countries also including Laos, the Philippines and South Korea are battling it out for the first Asia crown, in a contest featuring Bangladeshi beatboxing, Vietnamese pop and a love song by a Mongolian economist.
Some were Asia-based Europeans chasing nostalgia. Others were Americans eager to experience their first edition of the song contest.
