JJ from Austria straight up took first place at Eurovision 2025 with Wasted Love. I gotta say, it feels kinda wild because most people were betting on Sweden this year. The odds and all those betting sites had Sweden as the favorite with 40 percent, while Austria had about a 20 percent shot. But JJ totally turned it around during the actual show. I was watching with some friends and none of us figured Austria would jump ahead at the last minute, especially because everyone said Sweden and France had it in the bag.

But it was like, as soon as the votes from the public came in, JJ shot up and the whole vibe changed. A lot of fans admitted later online that they were in shock but also super impressed he pulled it off. And honestly, after hearing his vocals and seeing his energy on stage, I get why people changed their minds. So yeah, the bookmakers got it wrong this time and that just made the show even crazier to watch!
