We can always count on the Eurovision Song Contest to rock our world with glitzy and over-the-top performances, and this year’s edition definitely didn’t disappoint. Europe’s biggest music event gave us countless memorable performances, and Italian glam rock band Måneskin was crowned as the winner.

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.

This year’s Eurovision Song Contest was one crazy ride! We didn’t know who’s going to win until the very last moment, but Duncan Laurence managed to beat tough competition and ended up being crowned as this year’s winner.

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.

Will Ferrell is set to star in a new Netflix comedy about the Eurovision.

While the singing competition might not be a thing when it comes to musical events for the US, it is quite popular in Europe, with 186 million viewers tuning in to this year’s edition.

As part of the streaming giant’s attempt to create content that will appeal to its international subscribers, particularly those across the Atlantic, the new feature film will be based around the Eurovision song contest. 

According to The Guardian, Ferrell is a real fan of the musical competition ever since his Swedish wife introduced him to it. He was even spotted at this year’s contest. 

Ferrell will star and co-write alongside Andrew Steele. He will also produce for Gary Sanchez Productions with Jessica Elbaum. Adam McKay is set as executive producer.

The still-untitled project will be the second feature-length production the actor has collaborated on with the streaming service. Just last month Netflix released  Ibiza, a comedy he produced starring Gillian Jacobs.
