The second semifinal will take place on Thursday and will have the participation of Portugal, through The Black Mamba with the theme ‘Love Is On My Side’.
In Tuesday’s semifinal 16 of the 39 countries competing in the competition competed this year.
‘Technicolor’, from Australia, performed by Montaigne was the only performance that was recorded live, since the artist was unable to travel to the Netherlands because of travel restrictions resulting from the pandemic. The performance, however, did not convince the jury and the audience and remained in the semifinals.
