JJ van Austria was crowned the winner of the 69th Eurovision Song Contest, which is in Basel’s St. Jacobshalle Arena was held, which was an emotional victory for the singer and a triumphant return from the competition to the birthplace. The Austrian artist moved audiences with his ghostly, falsetto-lined Ballad “wasted love”, which he revolved in a festive performance improved by a Techno Remix. Visibly overwhelmed when Confetti rained, during his acceptance, JJ tore and cried out in disbelief over the result. The competition has exchanged intense fluctuations during the national jury match – which accounts for 50% of the total mood – with Austria and host Nation Switzerland repeatedly. While Sweden, Finland and France were considered forerunners, Israel continued unexpectedly with a staggering 297 viewer votes, which briefly overwhelmed the favorites. However, Austria eventually secured the victory with a 79 -point lead. In a surprising turn, Switzerland received zero points from the public voice. With entries from 37 countries, the Eurovision continued its tradition this year to show performances, filled with extensive lighting, live choreography and theater performance. The big final followed the semi -finals that began on May 13 and opened with a pre -recorded message from the 1988 winner, Céline Dion, who celebrated the ‘beautiful’ return from the competition to Switzerland. Dion, who won for Switzerland with ‘Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi’, has made her first virtual appearance on Eurovision since she unveiled her diagnosis of a tight person syndrome, a rare neurological condition in 2022. The contemporary spectacle, which is now being broadcast worldwide and has been flowed directly in the United States since 2021, maintains its ethos of inclusivity and creativity. Director Martin Green praised the host city’s efforts to embrace the roots of the competition: ‘They closed streets. They have a brilliant [Eurovision] village. I think there’s going to be a real party -atmosphere -they really borrowed in Switzerland where the first Eurovision was staged. So, it came home. “Still, this year’s issue was not without controversy. This is perhaps a romantic vision, but I believe it. I have worked on the Olympics and big sporting events, and I believe there must be that space to show that another way is possible. originated after Switzerland returned-a plenty of moment for what became one of the world’s most beloved musical competitions.
