THE NETHERLANDS 🇳🇱
Cornald Maas responded to Dutch media which claimed that he was ditched by NPO from potential hosting of Eurovision 2020, stating on Twitter:

“Oh dear — there are always these kinds of headlines after some selective reporting,” he tweeted. “I have stated that I would prefer to continue providing commentary during ESC, partly because this gives me more freedom and space. The #Eurovision organization has not yet decided on who is going to host.”

Agossie – dit soort kopjes na wat selectieve berichtgeving. Heb zelf aangegeven dat ik commentaar wil (blijven) doen, oa omdat dat meer vrijheid en ruimte geeft. En organisatie #songfestival heeft nog niks besloten over presentatie pic.twitter.com/1UHZKagMKH

The formula has worked for us on other occasions and we always put the same effort and enthusiasm because both the singer and song triumph.”

AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 Australia's Eurovision star Montaigne has released her entry 'Technicolour' on streaming services; announced a live performance this weekend; and will share a pop video shortly. Written and produced specifically with Eurovision in mind, the banger combines upbeat pop stylings with catchy anthemic hooks. The Sydneysider co-wrote her Contest track alongside songwriter and producer Dave Hammer. Montaigne will give her first live performance of Technicolour at the 2021 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, which is available to stream live on Saturday 6 March at 08:00 CET (or 18:00 AEDT) on SBS On Demand. Those kind people at SBS will be removing the geo-block for international viewers, so we might not be getting Australia Decides in 2021, but this does mean those of us in Europe still have the opportunity to enjoy one Eurovision reveal over brunch or breakfast. 6 0
