Incidents

Germany - initially, Claudia Valentina was supposed to represent the country with the song "4:15", but later it turned out that the composition violated the rules of the competition by the release date - the composition was released in 2020, while according to the rules of the season, the composition should not have been published no earlier than January 1, 2021. The entry was eventually changed to "Gemini" by Brynn Cartelli.
Lebanon - After the end of the voting, it was reported that Lebanon did not send its scores to the organizers of the competition and as a result, Lebanon's scores were compiled from the average of the votes of Thailand, Korea and Hungary. For the next season of Second Chance, Lebanon will be excluded from participation even if there is a selection.
