And somehow one of the 10 spots in nationals was made purely for controversy (it's called 'Booty', if you want to have something to laugh at for few minutes, go google it). Actually good Polish artists don't want to even attempt Eurovision anymore, because we all know this is the case, they can't even use their artistic vision or talents how they want to anymore.

The Armenian withdrawal made me feel heartbroken because Chains was not only my 2020 winner but one of my fave songs of the whole of 2020, a strong addiction, and an addition to my list of celeb crushes, many of whom Chains fits so perfectly with, and she deserves to be a prominent and proactive name, as she has the attitude, looks and tenacity, and Armenia deserve a special moment after being in the shadows of their rivals for so long. However, given the difficulties over there, I felt it would happen that they were not in the right shape, and they have far more important issues than bringing a woman from Greece to win a music festival, and I felt that became a better option than rushing a song and concept through and relying on name recognition for an act who doesn’t have many followers yet, even though she is ace with her fans. She needs a lot of notice and it to be very clearly expressed what is needed, with an intense choreo (even if she sent that recent ballad, she would have to still carry out an intense undertaking she seemed not to be ready for). I am a bit disappointed about Germany, but I accept that, and also Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Poland, Portugal and Sweden have became songs I have grown to like over time, whilst Little Big have had better material since Uno, like Suck My D*** 2020 and Sex Machine.

@@esciveta5507 I am proud Never Give Up On You represented my country brilliantly, and I think Lucie did amazing. The question is how Athena would have sold a song like that, as You Should Know, the song she released in January, is. Athena had actually performed it in a few gigs in Saxony before Depi Evratesil.
