Austrian singer JJ won the 69th Eurovision Song Contest in Switzerland with his song "Wasted Love," blending operatic vocals and techno elements. This victory comes during a politically charged backdrop of the Gaza conflict, which impacted the event's atmosphere. JJ, a countertenor and openly queer artist, expressed gratitude for his win and highlighted messages of love, acceptance, and unity. He acknowledged the significance of being the first Eurovision champion with Filipino heritage. Despite protests against Israel's participation, the contest celebrated diversity in music and culture, marking an unforgettable night for European unity and solidarity.
This is beyond my wildest dreams. It's crazy.
Let's spread love, guys.
Love is the strongest force on planet Earth, and love persevered.
JJ is writing Austrian music history today.
