Amerivision Song Festival

 * Patagonia has had no shortage of artists being forced to withdraw.
 * Electro Dragon won the 2006 Patagonian national final with the song "Warhammer 40,000" and were poised to represent Patagonia in Edmonton. However, the band broke up due to child abuse charges filed against lead singer Tomos Jones, to which he pleaded guilty. Patagonia were forced to pull out, but retained voting rights (which marked the first time Patagonia was absent from the contest).
 * Elizabeth Philips lost her chance to compete in the Patagonian national selection in 2013 after allegations of abuse towards her children surfaced and she pleaded guilty to all charges filed against her. She, however, got the last laugh 9 years later when she got her chance back (and won the contest proper), all thanks to her relapse into sobriety.
 * In a similar scenario to Electro Dragon, rapper Vladimir Ivanov won the 2022 Patagonian national selection with the rap-inspired song "Yeah Yuh" but lost his title as the Patagonian representative due to a voting blunder and displaying pro-Putin sympathies, as well as having the Z logo on as a temporary tattoo during his performance. This left Elizabeth Philips as the representative.
