On 6 February 2021, NDR confirmed that Jendrik Sigwart will represent Germany in the 2021 contest. [1]

In Eurovision

The 65th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest took place in Rotterdam, the Netherlands and consisted of two semi-finals on 18 May and 20 May 2021, and the grand final on 22 May 2021. [2] According to the Eurovision rules, all participating countries, except the host nation and the "Big Five", consisting of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom, are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals to compete for the final, although the top 10 countries from the respective semi-final progress to the grand final. [3] [4] As Germany is a member of the "Big Five", the song automatically advanced to the final, which was held on 22 May 2021 at the Rotterdam Ahoy in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The song had received 3 points from the international juries and 0 points from the audience, ending on the second to last, 25th position in the contest.

Due to Eurovision rules, the "middelfinger" was not allowed on stage, so Jendrik decided to find a loophole by making Sophia wear a peace sign- however, the index finger was controlled with her arm, so whenever Sophia put down her arm, the peace sign suddenly turned into a "middelfinger" once more. The costume was found to be compliant with the rules, and Sophia was able to wear the peace sign on stage.
