JJ made a break from work in the Vienna State Opera to compete in Eurovision

The Austrian singer JJ won the Eurovision Song Contest in Switzerland Basel, after the nail finishes, which in the last minute started it from the pole.

A 24-year-old guy, who is a counter-tenor in the Vienna State Opera, took this title with “Song Spending Love”, a violent electric ballad about unnecessary love.

“Thank you very much for making their dreams,” he said, accepting a coveted glass microphone. “Love is the strongest power in the world, let’s spread more love.”

The singer scored 436 points, and Israel in the second place for 357 and Estonia for 356. The UK law, remember, took 19th place with 88 points on Monday.

For the second year in a row, the UK received zero from the public.

JJ’s younger sister broke through the guards to hug him after the announcement of his victory.

The Austrian said his whole family came to support him at the competition, including his 85-year-old grandfather and a four-month-old niece who watched the street with his brother.

This is the third time Austria won the competition, and the previous victories in 1966 went to Mersya Jurgens, Cherry; and Conchita Wurst with Rise as Phoenix in 2014. JJ was inspired to participate in Eurovision Conchita.

The singer was always one of the favorites to win, but the hottest participants were the Kaida Sweden-Chi language in the bristle of the Sauna Culture, the Bada Basta bar, ultimately finished fourth.

“I wanted to let them understand my deep soul (u) as I felt when we wrote a song.”

“What I try to do (yes) is what is not wasted, love. There is so much love that we can spread around. This is the strongest force on the planet Earth.”

Asked how he would celebrate, he replied, “Honestly, I need to sleep now. I’m tired.”

Yuval Rafael represented Israel amid protests over the country’s participation

For the second year in a row there was a dispute over Israel’s participation, and the participants of the rally argued for the dismissal of the country from the military action.

Professional protests took place on the streets of Basel a few hours before the competition.

Later, a man and a woman did not allow the stage to break on stage during Israel’s performance.

“One of the two agitators threw the paint, and the crew member was hit,” Swiss SSR SSR said in a BBC statement.

“The crew member is in order, and no one was injured.

“The man and the woman were taken out of the venue and handed over to the police.”

The performance, the young singer, Yuval Rafael, did not touch.

A 25-year-old guy survived as a result of Hamas’s attacks on October 7, 2023, which painted her delicate ballad, a new day will rise.

The Israeli delegation stated that Raphael remained “shocked and upset by the” incident, but that it was “extremely proud of” her speech “, which represented Israel with respectful way.”

Elsewhere, Eurovision became a common bombing of a high camp, sexy Inmonans and dresses were removed to discover smaller and tougher dresses.

Mariano Conte Malta was forced to rewrite her disc -hymn that serves Kant to remove what sounded like a swearing – but performed a censored version with knowledge of winking, safe in the knowledge that the audience would fill the blanks.

Although it was a favorite of the fan, the Conte could only manage the 17th.

Tommy Kesh, who finished third, also continued to move the Innuendo train, and Espresso McCiat, a disco with a caffeine representing an unforgettable phrase: “Like spaghetti, it is difficult until you do it.”

Another highlight was Eric Vikman Finland, which released double fans completely on Ich Komme, a vivid hymn to sexual satisfaction.

The singer finished her performance by flight to a giant phallic microphone that fired into the air.

She squeezed her in 11th place and a permanent place in the Eurovision pantheon.

Eryka’s performance Wiktman suffered several technical hindrances at rehearsals, but everything went at night at night

The competition also discussed more strong subjects, such as economic migration (Portuguese rock band NAPA) and an environmental disaster (Tautumeitas Latvia, which scored 12 points from the UK jury).

Dutch singer Claude has made a sincere tribute to her mother in C’est La Vie, an optimistic anthem, which was reflected in her positiveness when she uprooted a family from her country of the Democratic Republic of the Congo as a child.

In a touching climax, a 21-year-old guy danced with his childhood in the mirror on stage.

He also reflected on his childhood, was the French singer Luan, whose ballad about the tearful work was devoted to a mother who died of cancer when she was 17 years old.

In one of the brightest speeches of the night, she was surrounded by a whirlwind of sand when she unfolded the word “mother” again and again.

One of the favorites to win, ended at night in the seventh A place by receiving disappointing 50 points from the public.

JJ’s performance was similarly dramatic. The shot is completely black -white, he saw him threw on a shaky boat when the waves (emotions) threatened to consume it.

Honorary mention also goes to Italy by Lucio Corsi, whose solo harmonica in Volevo Essere Un Duro noted for the first time when the live instrument has been played in Eurovision since 1998.

Remember that the performance on Monday included a return call to the performance skirt at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1981

The UK spent the third year in the lower half of the leaders, despite the live performance of the group, remember Monday.

A group of friends who met in high school, their inventive pop -what the hell has just happened? He gained many years of work at the West -Endo Theater.

The girls pulled out their cunning three parts of harmony, dancing around the dead chandelier, but the performance did not connect with the voters.

Despite receiving a healthy 88 jury points – including 12 from Italy – it bombed the audience.

They ended in 19th place, one below last year, which participated in last year, Olli Alexander.

The group laughed at their “Nul Points” from the public, holding the signs of peace and hugging each other as the number was announced.

The band took defeat in good grace

The voting as a whole was chaotic.

Thirteen of 26 finalists received a maximum of 12 points at least one jury, leaving the competitions fully open before the public vote was counted.

Israel, which was going to the lower half of the table and then received 297 points from the public (of a maximum of 444). Twelve these points came from the UK.

For a while, it looked like Rafael’s leading javal could be inaccessible – but Austria 178 was the last one that was announced, leaving the singer’s empty hand.

There was also a disappointment for the fans of Canadian singer Selilin Dion, who were rumored to appear in the competition.

The singer won Eurovision for Switzerland in 1988 and appeared in a video in which she wanted the participants in the semi -finals Tuesday.

Despite the hopes of Eurovision organizers that it may appear, this moment has never passed.
