Eurovision 2025 winner revealed as Austria beat controversial Israel in final

By staff18 May 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 has come to an end with the winner being announced after an entertaining few hours

Eurovision 2025: Austria pip Israel to win song contest

Eurovision fans have been cheering and celebrating as the Eurovision entrants performed pop-opera, rock songs and tear-jerking ballads. But now, after hours of performances, the winner has been announced as Austria’s JJ.

It was a intense night as fans waited to see who won as Israel and Austria were at the top two. Austria’s JJ performed Wasted Love while controversial Israeli entrant was runner up.

The singer, real name Johannes Pietsch, went for a black and white staging in Basel, Switzerland, which looked like a boat trip as he sang about someone he cared about being overwhelmed.

“I want to thank my entire family, my entire team, thank you so much for making my dreams come true. And especially to you Europe, thank you for making my dreams come true,” JJ said.

“Love is the strongest force in the world. Let’s spread more love. Thank you so much.” He then performed ‘Wasted Love’ again.

Viewers took to social media to comment, as one said on X: “Thank f**k for that !! Well done Austria.” Another said: “Phew, well done Austria.”

Earlier in the night, UK’s entrant, Remember Monday, performed What The Hell Just Happened?

The BBC Eurovision team of Graham, Rylan and Scott Mills had been hyping the trio up for weeks but what do the general public think of Britain’s 2025 offering?

“We couldn’t have asked for more,” Graham said. Donning vibrant Bridgerton-esque attire, the trio delivered a choreographed spectacle, maintaining impeccable harmonies throughout.

Over on Twitter, viewers were picking up on the West End vibes the girls gave off. “Say all you want about this song being just a random West End number, you cannot deny that Remember Monday’s chemistry together on stage is immaculate,” one wrote. “They really look like they’re having the time of their lives on the #eurovision stage!”

Before Remember Monday took to the stage, Norway’s Kyle Alessandro, this year’s youngest Eurovision act at 19, performed his fiery number, Lighter. Laura Thorn from Luxembourg entertained with her quirky song La Poupee Monte Le Son, while Estonia’s Tommy Cash amused with his spaghetti-dancing filled Espresso Macchiato, a parody on Italian stereotypes.

Two favourites, Dutch singer Claude Kiambe and Finland’s Erika Vikman, delivered contrasting performances back to back.

Congolese-born Kiambe, 21, moved the audience with his heartfelt song C’est La Vie, inspired by his mother’s wisdom about life’s ups and downs, ending his performance in tears. In stark contrast, Vikman, clad in black leather, performed the risque Ich Komme – a German-Finnish entry that concluded with her soaring off on a giant microphone amidst sparks.

Other notable performances included Maltese singer Miriana Conte with Serving, which was renamed from Kant due to its resemblance to a swearword, and Switzerland’s Zoe Me with the powerful Voyage.

Earlier, 2024 Swiss winner Nemo returned to the Eurovision stage to perform The Code in a full-length white dress, following an opening sketch featuring a Mission Impossible-style quest to find the trophy, before it was handed over to the hosts.
