“No, this is not true,” he replied, commenting on a number of media reports that a video with Lawrence’s performance in 2017 was found online, during which the artist performed the song Arcade.
This, according to the media, “violates one of the main rules of Eurovision,” since the song for the contest must be new.
According to Goodman, this video “did not give Lawrence the advantage” and the composition was admitted to the competition.
