Eurovision 2024: Latest Updates

Nemo´s final act

At the end of their performance, tonight´s winner, Nemo dropped the glass trophy that is handed off between winners each year. Who can blame them!?!

And that is a wrap on Eurovision 2024. Nemo from Switzerland will take home the prize that they may have dropped off the stage at the end of their performance. 

The performances had all the glitz and glamour that fans of the event always love, and all countries took home some points. The only country to receive no votes during the public phase was the United Kingdom... perhaps many in Europe have not forgiven the British for Brexit.

The final vote count...

Switzerland has secured the victory at the 68th Eurovision Song Competition, with 591 points. In second place is Croatia with 547 and the third place slot is filled by Ukraine 453. 

For, Israel, which was the center of much controversy this year with many fans of the event opposing the country´s inclusion as the civilian death toll continues to rise in Gaza. The country came in fifth with 375 points.

All votes received from non-participating countries outside Europe will be tallied up, and added to the top 10 televotes from each participating country.

Who is Eden Golan, representing Israel at Eurovision 2024 with ‘Hurricane’? Why did they change the song?

Understanding the controversy surrounding Isreal´s participation in Eurovision this year. 

Despite not officially being a European nation, the Middle Eastern country has won Eurovision four times, most recently in 2018. However, there has long been plenty of friction surrounding their participation in the 2024 event, with their song entry rejected by contest organisers on two occasions for being “too political”.

Their first proposal, named “October Rain,” was barred by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), who considered that it had obvious political connotations, with the lyrics seemingly referring to an attack carried out by Hamas, the Palestinian political and military movement, in southern Israel last October.

After that track was turned down by the EBU, “Dance Forever” was then put forward as an alternate but was also turned down for similar reasons.

In order for Israel not to be disqualified from the contest, president Isaac Herzog intervened and pushed for “October Rain” to be reworked, with “Hurricane” using the same melody but with new lyrics and a new title. Read more.

News on the disqualification of the Dutch contestant provided

In the press release provided on the disqualification of the Dutch Eurovision contestant Joost Klein, the European Broadcasting Union said that his "behavior towards a team member" had been "deemed in breach of Contest rules." 

He will not compete this evening, the EBU has told voters not to vote for Song 5, which would have been his position in the lineup, as those votes will not be counted. 

"Swedish police have investigated a complaint made by a female member of the production crew after an incident following his performance in Thursday night’s Semi Final," reads the statement. However, the legal process has yet to begin in any substantive way, leading many to call into question the validity of the arguments made by the organization. This also comes after Klien was accused of asking Israel's contestant, Eden Golan, to defend why she had been allowed to participate in the event. The EBU has said that they do not want to make the competition political after Israel's participation was called into question, given the government's complete assault on the Gaza Strip, which has claimed the lives of at least 34,000 people, half of which are thought to be children and women.

What is the Eurovision Song Contest? How is Israel involved?

Held this week for the 68th occasion, the Eurovision Song Contest is an international music competition that involved just seven countries when it took place for the first time in 1956—just under seven decades on, no fewer than 37 nations entered the latest edition of the competition, which is traditionally staged by the previous year’s winning country. In 2023, Sweden’s Loreen claimed victory with her song “Tattoo”, so the southern Swedish city of Malmö is the venue for Eurovision 2024.

Run by the European Broadcasting Union, Eurovision was conceived as “a technical experiment in television broadcasting”, the event’s organisers say. “The live, simultaneous, transnational broadcast that Europe has now been watching for nearly 70 years was in the late 1950s a marvel.”

Hello and welcome to AS USA's live feed on the 2024 Eurovision song competition final. I'm Maite, and I will be bringing you the latest from inside and outside the venue of one of the most controversial Eurovision finals in recent memory

Joost Klein, the contestant from The Netherlands, has been disqualified from the competition after being accused of misconduct by event staff. The allegations stem from an incident where Klein allegedly asked the Israeli contestant to justify her participation in the competition. Klein had been a fan favorite in earlier rounds, and his elimination has sparked further outages at the event's sponsor, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). The EBU has faced growing criticism from activists and advocates for free speech for banning participants from featuring the Palestinian flag or wearing a keffiyeh, which is a common symbol of Palestinian culture and resistance. Protestors from across Europe have descended on Sweden's capital to protest the event, including climate activists and Swedish national Greta Thunberg.

For those tuning in from the US, the event will begin at 3 p.m. ET. While the competition's fanbase is growing in the US, and many non-European countries compete each year, the US is not one of them.  

Follow along with us for the latest as millions tune in to view this year's final.
