Austria wins the 2025 European TV Song Contest with Singer JJ

Austria won the 69th Eurovision Song Contest.

Johannes Pietsch, a 24-year-old contestant in the country, was called JJ-winning the public's total cumulative vote and scored 436 points for his emotional song about unrequited love "Wasted Love."

Last year's winner, non-binary Swiss singer Nemo, was also 24 years old when he won the competition.

The queer inversion singer accepted his trophy after a four-hour show, repeatedly thanking Europe for “making my dream come true.” JJ waved the glass trophy and shared with the crowd: "Love is the most powerful force in the world, allowing us to spread more love."

Austria won the 2025 match, second with 357 points, second with Yuval Raphael and her ballad "The New Day Will Rise" to second place, who ranked second with 357 points. The singer looks like the strongest candidate, as the public vote was not announced until the last minute.

Both Switzerland and the UK received zero public votes. It was the second consecutive year in the UK's public points, with 88 votes in No. 19 - last year Olly Alexander's score was lower than Olly Alexander, represented by a three-person female, remember Monday, Monday with his song "What the hell happened?" This year.

Estonia's entry Tommy Cash is third with 356 points, followed by Sweden Kaj, who represents Sweden for the first time on the European TV network, with 321 points, Italy's Lucio Corsi and 256

This year's competition brings Eurovision back to the country that first started in Switzerland. The event was held at the St. Jacob Schal Stadium in Basel. The show is hosted by German-Swiss comedian Hazel Brugger, Swiss host and Swiss 1991 Eurovision participant Sandra Studer and Swiss-Italian TV character Michelle Hunziker.

In this year's finals, 26 countries competed in 11 of the first 37 countries participating in the semi-finals.

The competition was held in Switzerland 36 years after the last program was held, when Celine Dion won as a Swiss entrant in 1988.

It is reported that many news outlets, including the BBC, have been confident that Dion will have unexpected guest appearances, but this kind of performance has not happened.

Instead, event co-host Sandra Studer sang her 1991 contest song Canzone Per Te, while the pink lights on the stage sing Abba's Waterloo until the contestants performed in the final 4 finale. The show was opened by an electric performance of last year's Swiss singer Nemo's song "Code".
