Despite not entering the competition as the front-runner, Nemo (who uses they/them pronouns) defied the odds in the grand final. They won over the jury and secured 22 sets of the maximum 12 points to win 365 jury points for a grand total of 591 points, defeating Croatia’s runner-up Baby Lasagna with “Rim Tim Tagi Dim”, who lost by 44 points despite winning the public vote.

In Nemo’s own words, their song sees them trying to “crack their own code and enter the kingdom of authenticity.” It was inspired by the freedom they gained by realizing they’re non-binary after a long and often difficult journey of self-discovery.

In addition to making history as the first non-binary Eurovision winner, Nemo is the first contestant to bring Eurovision to their home country in almost four decades. This marks Switzerland’s first victory since 1988, when Celine Dion emerged as the winner with “Ne partez pas sans moi”.

Måneskin took part in the competition with the song “Zitti e buoni”, which literally translates as “shut up and behave”. They celebrated their victory with the words “rock n roll never dies” and delivered a celebratory performance of their rebellious anthem about defying society’s expectations.

Måneskin is currently Italy’s third Eurovision Song Contest winner. This country previously won in 1964 with Gigliola Cinquetti’s “Non ho l’età” and 1990 with Toto Cutugno’s “Insieme: 1992”. They’re also the first band to win since Finland’s Lordi was crowned as the winner in 2006.

Barbara Pravi from France made it the no. 2 spot, while Switzerland’s Gjon’s Tears came in third. Iceland and Ukraine rounded out the top five. The 65th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest was held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands between May 18-22, marking the fifth time the contest returned to this country.

Laurence won the hearts of the audience with his song “Arcade”, and many people saw him as top contender from the very start. He represented the Netherlands and went on to become the first person from his country to come out victorious at Eurovision since 1975.

The Dutch contestant was named as the winner after receiving a total of 492 votes, but things were pretty tense until the very last moment. Italy was right behind with 465 points, while Russia took the third spot with 369.

This year’s Eurovision Song Contest took place in Tel Aviv, Israel and the ceremony was quite a spectacle. Numerous past winners made a surprise appearance, but the most highly-anticipated and talked-about moment of the competition was Madonna’s performance.

The 64th edition of this popular music competition will take place in Tel Aviv next month. Semi-finals will be held on May 14 and 16, and the countries with the biggest number of votes will make it to the final show on May 18.

That’s where Madonna comes in!

The pop legend is set to perform during the interval act of the final, and it’s been reported she’ll deliver two songs – including one from her new album. Her participation was first announced by Live Nation Israel and Bluestone Entertainment, co-owned by her manager Guy Oseary.

It’s also been reported that Madonna will receive $1 million for this gig. Canadian billionaire Sylvan Adams stepped up and secured the money for her performance because he believes she’ll make a significant contribution to the success of this event.
