For the 20th Edition of the Majestic Song Contest, URTV decided to opt for a national selection for the first time. The performer, Ruth Lorenzo, was internally selected, performing 5 different songs. The selection proved controversial in Utrana, due to the majority of the votes coming from international juries, with the Utranian public providing significantly less for their chosen song.

Following discussions within URTV, the broadcaster agreed to promote the music of the Welsh-speaking regions of Utrana. This was met with mixed reactions from the public, with some arguing other regions were not considered and that a national final could have been the opportunity to promote various regions. Regardless, Alffa were chosen with the song Gwenwyn. The public support was limited, and this resulted in a failed qualification, finishing 14th, Utrana's worst result to date.

Alffa stated following their non-qualification "We were used as a novelty. The only reason that this song was chosen was due to the Welsh language. We were and still are proud of the song, but feel that Majestics was not the most suitable place for the song." Many members of the public and music critics agreed with this statement, suggesting that the style of song was not the tpical song related to the contest. In contrast, Head of Delegation, Anne Turner, stated "We as a team will not deny we were trialling something different in our entry this edition. However, this is nothing to do with the Welsh language. We received many songs in a variety of languages. We believed Gwenwyn was a strong choice for this aim, although the public, both in Utrana and in other Majestic nations did not agree. We will reconvene for the next edition. We would like to thank Alffa for their effort in the contest and they will always remain a part of the Majestic family. If they ever wish to return to the contest, with the right song, we would be more than happy to welcome them back."

"Following a difficult and upsetting year for many, where the Covid-19 Pandemic has caused much uncertainty of any form of normality in day to day life. With Christmas just around the corner, it is still unclear if we can spend time with our loved ones. The reason behind this song is that the current circumstances may make it seem that there is no reason to celebrate, but there will be light at the end of this very dark tunnel."

Following her time in the contest, Hill stated that she was proud of her performance and was aware of the difficulties of qualifying due to the strong semi-final. Upon her return to Utrana, Hill was interviewed by URTV, stating "I would definitely go back if I was asked. Majestics was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had in my professional career. Representing my country and having my own professional freedom in my performances are something not many people get to have in this industry. Maybe in a few editions I will go back, but for know, I want to let other singers feel the energy and positivity I felt on that stage." URTV responded by saying "The Utranian delegation is immensely proud of the work Faith has put into the song and performance. We would like to thank Faith for making the Utranian people proud and we hope to work with her again in the future."

Many fans believed this was the reason Utrana failed to qualify. URTV issued a statement following the criticisms, stating "During national finals, we had used an interim creative director whilst waiting for the contract to be signed with Kevin Swain. Kevin had a completely different outlook on the song and adjusted the staging to his vision. Although we are happy with his ideas, URTV believe Xavier's staging ideas discussed with the interim creative director gave a fuller performance".

I can not wait to get back on the Majestics stage, and this time have someone to keep me company". Of his debut, Meatloaf said; "When I got the call I knew there was no question.

Hopefully, we can come back with the best ever result for Utrana".

This is probably completely untrue for our fans, but for us we always walked away thinking should we stay in the music business. This has solidified it that we are credible artists who have been successful. Tonight is not just about our win for us. It is about looking at our future, but also looking at the past and re-evaluating our success to lead us to this."

In the build up to Edition 34, it was speculated that URTV were looking into taking a break from the national final format used in the past two contests. Many found this to be a welcome change, particularly as the format was achieving average placements in MSC.

Following confirmation of the removal of Utrana Decides, URTV released a statement stating "Utrana Decides will definitely be back in the future. We love putting the show on for the Utranian public and the ratings show that the public loves it too. We are not removing the national final because of poor results. Granted, we have not had the best results from the National Final format, but the main reason we are removing it was because we were presented with a song we simply could not pass by. Numerous national finals around Majestica have had some of their strongest songs, possibly winning songs, lose out in the national final and we did not want to take that risk. We will be releasing the song and artist in due course, but we have a very good feeling about our choice."
