Australia’s Montaigne’s ‘Technicolour’ Sure Fizzed At Eurovision

Australia has been bumped out of the Eurovision race early for the first time in five years, because of a very bizarre choice of song and artist with ‘Technicolour’ by Montaigne.

Despite the fact the song in itself is a strange track for Montaigne, she herself seems to have morphed into some Euro-Bizarro image to play up to the quirky Eurovision entrants of the past. Its like they are trying to create “Sia for Europeans”.

(And let’s not even get into why Australia is in Eurovision every year anyway. Are they confusing us with with Austria?)

Check out Montaigne’s ‘Technicolour’, a song you couldn’t imagine getting any coverage in Australia if it wasn’t for Eurovision.

Montaigne was bumped after performing the song in the semi-finals. The countries through to the Grand Final now are Lithuania, Russia, Sweden, Cyprus, Norway, Belgium, Ukraine, Malta, Azerbaijan and Israel.

Montaigne had to compete via pre-recorded video. She was not allowed to travel to the event because of Australian Government covid travel restrictions. That also gave Montaigne a disadvantage as she was the only contestant out of 38 countries not physically at the event.

Montaigne would have represented Australia in 2020 but the contest was cancelled last year due to the pandemic. Her song was last year was the equally strange ‘Don’t Break Me’.

The winner of the 65th Eurovision will be announced on Sunday (Australian time).
