Piteous Australia misses out on Eurovision final for the first time
Australia’s Montaigne did not make it to the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2021. Her song ‘Technicolour’, which she had to present through a prerecorded tape, is the first Australian entry not to qualify through the semi finals. Ukraine is now the only country to have a 100% track record of qualifying.
Australia loses its 100% track record after a crazy rollercoaster ride participation. Singer Montaigne was unable to travel to Rotterdam due to covid restrictions. Therefore, she participated via a live-on-tape. On many occasions Montaigne expressed her deep sadness for not being able to come to Rotterdam.
