Austria triumphed at the 69th Eurovision Song Contest in Basel, Switzerland, securing first place with 436 points, while Israel followed in second with 357 points amidst protests.

Despite a well-received performance, Louane's placement was seen as disappointing, leading her to skip the customary press conference following the event.

The grand final, held on May 17, 2025, also featured UK group Remember Monday, who qualified as one of the 'big five' entrants.

Fan reactions to rehearsal images have been overwhelmingly positive, praising the impressive visuals, although some expressed reservations about the song itself.

JJ hopes to be remembered not just as an artist, but for the emotional depth and connection he brings to his performances.

The lyrics of Austria's winning song, 'Wasted Love,' offer a glimpse into the artist JJ's personal experiences with love, aiming to connect intimately with the audience.

Louane's participation in the contest has been unpredictable, with rehearsals conducted without her, yet there remains hope for her attendance.

Louane remains optimistic about her performance, confident that past choking incidents will not recur, showcasing her spontaneity to fans.

Calls for an independent review of crowd noise management during politically sensitive performances have emerged, reflecting a need for reform in handling such issues.

The BBC defended comments made by Norton regarding crowd reactions, emphasizing their alignment with live footage and reigniting discussions on transparency during sensitive performances.

Despite their loss, Remember Monday received support from fans who praised their performance and expressed disappointment with the public vote outcome.

Despite promotional efforts for Remember Monday, including attempts to rally support from Germans abroad, the anticipated impact did not materialize.
