JJ of Austria, a classically trained countertenor, is the winner of the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest with his pop-opera song "Wasted Love."

In one of the most politically charged competition's yet, Austria has been named the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest winner with JJ taking the title for his pop-opera 'Wasted Love'

The Eurovision Song Contest just produced its 69th edition, featuring acts from 37 member nations performing at St. Jakobshalle, in Basel, Switzerland. The winner this year was the song “Wasted Love,” performed by JJ, representing Austria.

The lineup for the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest has been decided, with six countries eliminated after a semifinal on Thursday.

“Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi” remains the last entry performed in French to win Eurovision; France has not won since 1977. Switzerland waited until 2024 to prevail again, that time with Nemo’s “The Code,” which is written in English — not one of Switzerland’s four official languages.
