Eurovision Song Contest 2021 will likely have no live audience amid COVID-19 pandemic.

Speaking about the song contest, Eurovision executive producer Sietse Bakker said that instead it will be the location of the green room, housing artists and delegations during the show. Live reactions and interviews will take place in the green room.

By the way, eight countries have confirmed that they will release their entries this week.

Last year, the song contest was canceled amid coronavirus pandemic. However, fans of music contest had a great chance to enjoy a spectacular show "Eurovision: Europe Shine A Light", featuring 41 songs of this year's entries.

During the show, Samira Efendi thrilled Eurovision fans with song "Cleopatra".

As the singer says, Cleopatra is a song about trusting your gut instinct, standing up for yourself and being a "Queen" - even when things get tough and especially if someone betrays or hurts you.

"Cleopatra is a song about freedom, a celebration of all cultures and all sexualities. It's a song that is meant to inspire people to be who they truly are and to be proud of themselves just like Cleopatra. She was a queen who went through love, heartbreak, and betrayal, but she stood up for herself and is now remembered as an icon of strength and femininity," she said.
