Switzerland's Nemo wins Eurovision Song Contest | AFP

Switzerland's Nemo wins the Eurovision Song Contest, the first artist identifying as non-binary to do so, in a contest marked by controversy over Israel's participation during the war in Gaza. Twenty-four-year-old Nemo's "The Code" won the highest score from nations' juries, and enough of the popular votes to get 591 points, edging out Croatia in the final, held in Sweden's Malmo.

Over 200 comments and no-one has anything intelligent to say. Great performance, Nemo, and congratulations on your win :)

Switzerland doesn’t deserve this, Netherlands did.

Eurovision is a joke nowadays. The metrics for deciding the "winner" are based on affirmative action and propping up whoever the biggest freak show is, rather than curating the best talents out there.

I thought the Euro Vision Song Contest was about music, not identity

[jamiewoods]

A man in a dress won the eurovision song contest! Of course he did.

[ItsTheBoombox]

The funniest part is everyone in the comment section judging them solely based on their appearance and not their amazing singing ability, people need to grow up.

Who the hell still watches this Eurovision crap?

[GamingAndFilmKnowledge]

The only thing Nemo is trying to find is himself, considering on how he doesn't even know how to label himself.

[UvruvTtu-vewo]

Can't wait for next year non talent con-test lol

[TheWorldsStage]

As an American, what the hell is Eurovision and also, who fucking cares

[Clydeyboy]

They are doing this to basically annoy us.

[Zoe_beth_x]

They fixed ya trophy then or did they give you a new one haha 😂

[NorthDevon-dy]

We should have all guessed a bloke in a dress would win…. Once upon a time, there were actually some good songs and performers in the Eurovision, back in the late 60s and 70s… it was fun, civilised and actually worth watching… now it’s a parade of who can be most weird…

[Bumblebee]

I couldn’t believe the Swiss won with this song, I had to fast forward twice to avoid watching the whole thing. Absolute rubbish . What has happened to Eurovision it’s a circus and not about the music. It’s a joke.

[kathfoster]

Shocking. Let's ban this so called Singing Contest.

[PaulTanner-pcnj]

let me guess, poor little Nemo was lost and alone in the big ocean and surrounded by ferocious creatures that were all different to him until the day when he met Dory who was different also he was happy with Dory, no longer alone he could spread his fins and glide the tides and they lived happy ever after.

[WhyAreWe_Here]

this has got to be fixed. Of course they wanted a fairy to win, it suits their agenda perfectly while making sure they dont anger the terrorist supporters too much

[chefdindo]

In all honesty what is the world coming to ffs

[TASIAawful]

He isn’t a he or a she it’s a “them” or “they” I believe anyway congrats

[theag]
