Basel, Switzerland: Austria's JJ won the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest on Sunday, with his operatic song "Wasted Love" triumphing at the world's biggest live music television event.
After votes from national juries around Europe and viewers from across the continent and beyond, JJ gave Austria its first victory since performer Conchita Wurst's 2014 triumph.
After the nail-biting drama as the votes were revealed running into Sunday morning, Austria finished with 436 points, ahead of Israel -- whose participation drew protests -- on 357 and Estonia on 356.
"Thank you to you, Europe, for making my dreams come true," 24-year-old countertenor JJ, whose real name is Johannes Pietsch, said after his triumph in the Swiss city of Basel.
"Love is the strongest force in the world. Let's spread more love," the Austrian-Filipino singer said.
