Season 12

General Information
The twelfth Season of the Doubled Song Contest took place in Kiev, Ukraine after KLER won Season 11 with her songs "Nyestrimna" and "B'it' Pervoy". The Slogan of the Season was simply "MYSTERY", as we've allowed all Mystery Countries to participate this season without a limit - obviously only if they wanted to take part this season. The semi finals took place on the 14th of October 2020 and the Grand Final took place on the 26th of October! The Hosts of this Season were the two famous beloved ukrainians Jamala (the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2016) & Maruv (who won Vidbir in 2019 but didn't perform at Eurovision due to political conflicts/instructions included in the contract). In this edition there were 41 countries participating, including the prequalified finalist Ukraine because of winning the last season. In both Semi-Finals, 20 countries were fighting for the 12 spots for the big final which would mean that in total 25 countries qualified for the final (including the auto qualifier Ukraine). Due to the invention of the Wildcard last Season, both 13th places of the Semi-Finals had the chance to win the last golden ticket for the big grand final in a duel against each other - making an amount of 26 finalists. Canada represented by Allie X was able to win this duel against the United Kingdom (represented by BANNERS) and got the chance to perform in the final - where she placed 20th. In total, 15 countries non-qualified and missed the chance for the title of the twelfth Doubled Song Contest Edition! The participating Mystery Countries this season were: New Zealand, China, Mexico, Brazil, India, Iran, Egypt, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Canada, Japan & Chile!

We also had the fourth appearance of GJan in the Doubled Song Contest this season - she came back to represent Lithuania once again and placed 22th after she scored 18th in Season 2 & Season 7, and 19th place in Season 9.

Norway took the win with the songs "Death of Me" and "Hallucinations" by PVRIS, with a total of 293 points. They won with a difference of 30 Points. It was the first victory of Norway in the Doubled Song Contest, topping their best result in the norwegian history from last season Season 11 in the DOSC where they scored the 7th place! The runner-up this season was Australia - represented by YORKE with the songs "Promise" and "Treading Waters" with 263 points. Followed by the best Mystery Country this season - Indonesia - represented by Natasha Blume who placed 3rd with 237 points. The Song 1 Voting was also won by a Mystery Country - China, they placed 10th overall.
