Austrian singer JJ, Johannes Pietsch, won the 69th Eurovision Song Contest with his song "Wasted Love." He received a jubilant welcome at Vienna airport upon his return, where hundreds of fans celebrated his victory. JJ's win marks Austria's third Eurovision victory. The contest, held in Basel, Switzerland, saw a nail-biting finish and was overshadowed by the ongoing Gaza war, with protests against Israel's participation. Several Austrian cities are vying to host next year's event, with JJ expressing a hope that Vienna will be selected.
