💨 Abstract

Austrian singer JJ won the 69th Eurovision Song Contest in Basel with "Wasted Love," blending opera and techno. The 24-year-old countertenor from Vienna State Opera will be celebrated nationwide. Austrian leaders praised JJ's historic victory, which sparked both celebration and controversy, as Israel's participation amidst the Gaza war sparked protests and drama. JJ, with Filipino heritage and proudly queer, emphasized love and unity.
