Austria has won the Eurovision Song Contest for the third time with the operatic ballad 'Wasted Love', performed by Viennese artist JJ. The song features soaring vocals that transition into a club anthem, co-written with Teodora Spiric and Thomas Turner. The contest this year took place in Switzerland, which hosted Eurovision's inaugural event. Austria is set to host the competition again in 2026 in Vienna. Meanwhile, the UK's entry continues to face challenges, finishing 19th in this year's competition despite being a significant net contributor to the EBU.
Austria's JJ won the Eurovision Song Contest with 'Wasted Love,' an operatic ballad that evolved into a club anthem, marking the country's third victory in the competition.
This year's contest was held in Switzerland, celebrating its long history, and Austria will host again in 2026, expectedly in Vienna.
This win highlights JJ's impressive vocal range as a counter tenor to soprano, co-writing the song with Teodora Spiric and Thomas Turner.
Despite the UK's substantial contributions to the EBU, their entry finished 19th, continuing a trend of poor results in the annual competition.
