Globalvision Season 20

The 20th season of the Globalvision Song Contest, also known as "Globalvision 2X", is expected to take place between November and December 2021.

Location
On the 18th of November, the winner of the previous season, @Marges, announced the venue of the 20th contest. Located near the capital city of Romania, Bucharest, we have the Therme București which is an exotic spa complex, with different sections and attractions to please its guests. The Palm section is where the 20th contest is going to take place.

Phase 1
Initially Ireland was meant to participate represented by @alsemanche, Denmark by @ororo munroe and Iceland by @NNES, but got changed prior to the draw reveal. Later @ororo munroe withdrew after choosing the Netherlands as a replacement for Denmark. Indonesia was also meant to appear represented by @RAMROD, but due to disqualification of the original entry for the United States, he took that country instead of @Bloody Grammys who chose Saudi Arabia as a replacement. Serbia and Morocco were disqualified for failing to send their votes, reducing the number of participants from 35 to 33.

Phase 2
Angola was briefly chosen by @Varys, but he switched to Portugal minutes later.
