Austria wins 69th Eurovision song contest with Wasted Love
Austria has won the Eurovision song contest after JJ triumphed in Basel with their song Wasted Love, an operatic ballad with soaring vocals that mutates into a club anthem for the finale. It is the third time the country has won, with JJ following in the footsteps of Udo Jürgens in 1965 and Conchita Wurst in 2014.
Switzerland, which hosted the first ever Eurovision song contest in 1956, was the venue this year after Nemo won in Malmö last year with their song The Code. They presented the trophy to JJ, who called for “more love”. After finishing a reprise of their winning song, a clearly emotional JJ said “thank you Europe, I love you all”
Viennese-born JJ has a range from counter tenor to soprano, and studies classical music.

Klaus Nomi is applauding him from the afterlife.

The song sounds like someone is torturing a baby seal.

Horrendous song. Opera singers should be banned.

It should have been Rimini Project, also known as 2 Africans and a Swede.

The bridge is more techno than disco, and he was far from being the people's winner. But if we scrapped the juries and the Great Unwashed got 100% of the vote, we'd be having Eurovision in Tel Aviv next year.

Hey it'd probably have been the last Eurovision ever but my God would it have been entertaining.
