Eurovision Song Contest: A Heart-Pounding Finale
Cosmó: “A special moment” ++ Who is your favorite?
Spectacular performances, intense emotions, Victoria Swarovski’s breathtaking million-dollar jewelry, and Cosmó as a fitting finale to the bombastic show! Even though Austria—likely following tradition—finished in second-to-last place as the host country of the 70th Song Contest, the hearts of the fans belong just as surely to it as they do to surprise winner Dara: In a true nail-biting finale, Bulgaria triumphed. Bangaranga!
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The highlights in brief:
- 10,000 spectators in the Stadthalle, even more fans at Rathausplatz—and millions in front of their TV screens—that was the 70th Song Contest in and from Vienna!
- Austria’s entry, as the very last act of the show, got the fans dancing—but unfortunately, that wasn’t enough: second-to-last place. Cosmó still wants to celebrate the “six important points.”
- Israel surprisingly landed in second place. Its representative, Noam Bettan, had to contend with threats and protests in the run-up to the contest, as well as boos during his performances.
- The Song Contest remains a show of surprises—third place didn’t go to any of the favorites either, but to Romania with Alexandra Căpitănescu.
- Victoria Swarovski —who had family support in the audience—and Michael Ostrowski hosted the final. When it came to glamour, Swarovski really went all out: she stood on stage wearing Chopard jewelry worth millions.
With the krone.at live ticker, you were there live all evening—now you can read about the events at your leisure and perhaps marvel once again at one scene or another:
Austria first participated in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1957 and has competed 58 times since then. We’ve won a total of three times. Udo Jürgens won the contest for the first time in 1966 with “Merci, Cherie.”
After a long dry spell, Austrian ESC fans were able to celebrate Conchita Wurst’s triumph and her song “Rise Like a Phoenix” in 2014, before JJ brought the Song Contest back to Austria—and thus to Vienna—last year with “Wasted Love.”
Enjoy the show and have a wonderful Song Contest evening on krone.at!
