By John Revill BASEL, Switzerland (Reuters) -Austria won the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Swiss host city Basel on Saturday, in the country's first victory since bearded drag queen Conchita Wurst won in 2014.

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

Austria’s entrant, JJ, took the prize after a tense count that was neck-and-neck until the last votes were revealed.
