Dancer Vlad Kurochka is with the group in Italy. This year, Achille Lauro -- a man who takes his stage name from a famously hijacked cruise ship -- picks up the mantle for the smallest country in the competition. But this is still Eurovision, and it is still weird -- so casual viewers tuning in exclusively to shake their heads and tut won't be let down. "Stefania," sung in Ukrainian, is a tribute to Psyuk's mother, who still lives in the western city of Kalush from which the band takes its name. (Though he's still got a way to go to beat last year's winners, who were ultimately cleared of taking cocaine on air following a viral video that sparked an investigation by organizers.) The 2020 edition was canceled, and last year's took place with crowd restrictions. "I think it's all about the deep hydration." They most closely resemble a TikTok-ified Daft Punk, had the legendary French pair hired David Lynch as their artistic director and hit the kids' parties circuit. Italy could clinch the crown for a second consecutive year if hometown heroes Mahmood and Blanco deliver. Organizers banned Russia from the contest in February, 24 hours after an initial, widely criticized decision to allow it to take part. Kalush, meanwhile, sailed through Tuesday's semifinal and elicited wild cheers from the crowd when they came onstage. "As we speak, our country and our culture is under threat.

Good evening, bonsoir, and welcome to the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final Live Blog! After two weeks of watching every rehearsal and live show, it all comes down to one final performance. Right now the energy is electric – everyone’s counting down to 21:00 CEST when the Grand Final begins. LET THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST 2022 BEGIN! Unexpectedly, it’s one of the most polished dance routines in the competition, and the song is incredibly catchy. Everyone in the arena and the Delegation Bubble is singing along. It also means that for the first time in Eurovison history there is no French language at all in any of this year’s entries – not so much as a cheeky Je Me Casse. The end. Aside from her outstanding vocal, this is a masterclass in using the cameras and the stage to connect with an audience and tell a story. Welcome to Sheldon Riley’s world, and one of the most dramatic performances of this year’s Eurovision. The part at the end where Sheldon removes the mask and goes into the huge final chorus is a MOMENT.

Only one act will get to perform again tonight, and that will be the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2022.

There's a lot of talk about whether Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra will win Eurovision 2022. Do you think it has a shot?

“We came with mud on our feet and in our pants and jacket,” he told me of his difficult journey from war-torn Sarajevo to Eurovision. “They knew we didn’t come for the money or to make a career out of it. If it’s something likely to be played on the most radio stations around Europe, then clearly “Stefania” isn’t it. The world has seen the horrific images coming out Ukraine — including photos of tortured civilians with their arms bound and gun shot wounds to the head. Last year’s split result show that they’re less likely to (Ukraine’s EDM-folk group Go_A finished seventh with the juries and second with the televote). For months the bookies have had Ukraine down as the front-runners to win. They received special permission to leave Ukraine for Eurovision and the promotional tour beforehand.

The six-member, all-male band received special permission to leave the country to represent Ukraine and Ukrainian culture at the music contest.

The band mixed traditional Ukrainian rhythms, costumes and dance moves with contemporary hip hop. 'It's going to become unstoppable. The latest odds still predict Ukraine will lift this year's trophy. Whether they wanted to think about it or not. Glory be to Ukraine!' there's so much gratitude sitting around in this green room...

Spain's Eurovision entry Chanel Terrero is on the stage performing her hit SloMo and we can't get enough of this one. Iceland's entry Systur - who all happen to be sisters - are giving a soulful performance of their song Með Hækkandi Sól, which is a country folk song. Maneskin changed the Eurovision game last year with anthem Zitti e Buoni, and it's clear why. Starting with Germany, who have received the lowest votes from the jury, earn 6 points from the public. Remember these are just the jury votes. It's the UK! It's now time to find out what Sweden have received from the public. Moving onto Australia, who have been given 2 points from the public.

Le dessinateur Urbs a quant à lui croqué, en dessins, les temps forts de cette soirée musicale. - La France, qui n’a pas gagné l’Eurovision depuis 1977 en dépit d’une deuxième place remarquée en 2021, n’est pas parvenue à emballer les foules avec le groupe breton Alvan & Ahez et a terminé avant dernière de ce concours, devenu un outil de diplomatie culturelle.

Les bookmakers ne se sont pas trompés, l'Ukraine a bien été sacrée grande gagnante de cette 66e édition de l'Eurovision.

Et Laura Pausini, l’une des maîtresses de cérémonie de la soirée, nous offre un medley (avec même une partie en français, elle sait tout faire) Est-ce qu’ils iront décrocher la victoire ? Ce sera peut-être difficile face au groupe ukrainien Kalush Orchestra que tout le monde attend en raison de la situation géopolitique. Mais d’autres concurrents pourraient aussi l’emporter. Rien n’est joué alors restez branchés avec nous, on va suivre la plus longue soirée de la télé ensemble ! La Roumanie et son flamenco emballent grave avec « Holà mi bebébé, llamame llamame », j’ai l’impression d’être sur une plage des Canaries (en 2007) à deux doigts de commander mon quatrième mojito de l’après-midi La chanson est douce, ça fait une jolie parenthèse dès le début du concours mais ça ne va pas gagner. On sait que l’Ukraine est la grande favorite de cette édition pour des raisons qui ne sont pas que musicales. Heureusement qu’il y a la fin de la prestation… Et si l’Eurovision s’organisait deux années de suite là-bas ? Honnêtement, c’est fort probable ! Et la salle qui reprend la chanson à tue-tête, ça touche mon petit cœur La chanson de la Belgique est moderne, Jérémie Makiese chante super bien et on aime ce pays… Niveau voix, l’Australie envoie toujours des artistes avec des organes de malade mais là ça ne m’emballe pas plus que ça. Par contre, on se croirait dans une comédie musicale de Broadway, c’est un vrai tour du monde en trois minutes cette histoire. Mais on est d’accord qu’il ne nous propose rien de bien fifou ? Guitare à la main, il a l’air bien sympathique mais ce n’est pas dingo. Les trois pays en tête sont le Royaume-Uni, l’Espagne et la Suède C’est terminé, plus personne ne peut voter ! On va donc ENFIN pouvoir passer à la révélation des points des jurys nationaux dans un premier temps.

"Obviously, there are unique challenges involved in hosting next year's competition. The country hasn't been in the top 10 since Jade Ewen came fifth in 2009. However, as in any other year, we look forward to discussing all the requirements and responsibilities involved in hosting the competition with UA:PBC and all other stakeholders to ensure we have the most suitable setup for the 67th Eurovision Song Contest." most recently in 1980, when the Netherlands took over from Israel, who declined to host the contest after winning for two years in a row. Earlier this week, it was revealed that President Macron of France had tried to get Maneskin disqualified from the contest as a result of the incident. The winning country usually stages the show, but Ukraine is unlikely to have that capability, after its state broadcaster, UA:PBC, was targeted in the opening days of the war. "After it all started with the war and the hostilities, it took on additional meaning, and many people started seeing it as their mother, Ukraine, in the meaning of the country," Psiuk said last week. "Have fun and don't get close to the table," he deadpanned, referencing the controversy that arose last year when he was falsely accused of snorting cocaine in the green room. In both 2019 and 2021, the UK came last. "This is a red letter moment," said Graham Norton, who presented the contest on BBC One. "I am so happy for him, for the UK and for the BBC who have worked so hard to turn our fortunes."

Après quasiment trente années de carrière, je suis à la recherche de nouveaux défis et de choses stimulantes", a-t-elle expliqué à 20 minutes. Le groupe n'a rien perdu de sa fougue.

Stefania by Kalush Orchestra rides wave of public sympathy to claim Ukraine's third Eurovision victory.

Despite the UK finishing second, Ukraine’s victory does still give the BBC a glimmer of hope of staging the event again for the first time since 1998. It was sung in English and Crimean Tatar, and came two years after the Russian Federation had annexed Crimea after the 2014 invasion. A hi-tech element named the “kinetic sun” was supposed to revolve, allowing acts to use either a giant LED screen or a wall of lights. She issued an apology explaining that she had been trying to throw it across to a member of her team who was too far away to catch it. Ewan Spence from the Eurovision Insight Podcast told the Guardian from Turin that “throughout the week, the singers, the broadcasters, the community have proudly stood with Kalush Orchestra and Ukraine. This will always stand as a victory at Eurovision; but it means so much more. But after the points from the public vote were added, it finished second.

While 25 countries competed in the Eurovision finals, Russia was not one of them after the nation was barred from this year’s competition as a result of the invasion. “I think Russia not taking part in Eurovision is a very nice gesture from Europe.

From free wheelin’ Whelan to fireworks and a stage with its own waterfall, this an evening with everything (except Brooke Scullion, obviously). All topped off with victory for Kalush, who have been a frontrunner from the start. And there is a memorable intermission performance from Mika, one of the trio of presenters, who puts on his pop star hat to race though his greatest hits. Eurovision has rules against crossing the streams of pop and politics. Understandably - and having already chucked out Russia - the organisers make an exception. And yet it is worth acknowledging Scullion’s pleasant bopper, That’s Rich, would have felt perfectly at home amidst this year’s 25 finalists – and is objectively of higher quality than several which made the cut. How long ago the 1990s and our famous streak of triumphs now feel.

"The UK is going to be a force next year. The UK is going to bust down doors to be a part of Eurovision next year. Sam was sent to every corner of Europe, familiarising fans with his song, and building up a unshakeable buzz. It was lovely for once to be able to really dig into the Elton John part of my personality." The result, as we all found out on Saturday night, was the UK's best result at Eurovision since 1998. Space Man had already earned Sam a record deal when TaP approached him to enter Eurovision. But it wasn't just the song that impressed them. "It was something that we hadn't particularly thought about," David says. If you had spent thousands of pounds developing an act, why expose them to the risk of coming last and ending their career before it began? In the three years after, it was... Record labels stopped putting acts forward for the contest and, in turn, the standard of our entries dropped. It was outdated, irrelevant, and nothing to do with contemporary music.

Ukraine's folk-rap group Kalush Orchestra captured the imagination of fans across the continent.

In a bar in central Kyiv, not far from the city's famous golden roofed Saint Sophia Cathedral, a small Eurovision viewing party was taking place on Saturday night. Alluding to the rule that a winner of the previous year's competition gets to host the contest, he said: "Next year Ukraine will host Eurovision! For the third time in its history. "The soldiers would come in to get some rest, we were cooking food for them -- borscht, soups, meat, potatoes, there wasn't much selection at the time," he said. The event in Turin saw several of the elaborate and camp performances that have become Eurovision's hallmark. "On some days there are rockets flying over people's houses and it is like a lottery -- no one knows where it will hit," Psyuk told CNN this week ahead of his performance. We will do our best to one day host the participants and guests of Eurovision in Ukrainian Mariupol. Free, peaceful, rebuilt!"

Ainsi de Stefania. Le morceau avait été écrit en hommage à la mère du leader de Kalush Orchestra, le rappeur Oleh Psiouk. C’était avant la guerre. Pour pouvoir se préparer tant bien que mal, ils ont obtenu une dérogation. Avant, dès les prochains jours, de rentrer participer à l’effort de guerre. A Turin, le jaune et le bleu habillent la carrosserie des autobus, les maillots de foot, le plafond des palais royaux. Le 22 février, Kalush Orchestra a accepté de remplacer la représentante initialement désignée, Alina Pash. Son retrait faisait suite à la révélation d’un voyage qu’elle avait effectué en 2015 en Crimée, après l’annexion russe. Le président Volodymyr Zelensky, qui avait exhorté le Vieux Continent à voter pour ses compatriotes, a salué leur victoire sur Instagram : « Notre courage impressionne le monde, notre musique conquiert l’Europe ! » Ajoutant, non sans optimisme : « L’an prochain, l’Ukraine accueillera l’Eurovision ! » Des représentants de l’OTAN et de l’Union européenne ont adressé, de même, leurs félicitations.

Mais même si ça continue, je pense qu’il sera possible que l’Eurovision se tienne en Ukraine, dans une ville comme Kiev, bien protégée. Et je pense qu’alors, les gens viendraient nombreux pour nous soutenir !" espère-t-elle. Mais ce dimanche 15 mai au matin, à Odessa, Katerina, 25 ans, avait un grand sourire : "Je suis très contente que l’Ukraine ait gagné cette année, c’est un symbole important ! J’aurais bien voulu célébrer la victoire. Avec son éternel bob rose sur la tête, Oleg Psyuk, le leader de Kalush Orkestra, remercie le public.

The Kalush Orchestra was formed in 2019. They finished with 631 points—the second highest in Eurovision history. It is the U.K.‘s best result since 1998, and follows a dismal performance last year in which they finished last with zero points. It’s believed over 1,000 journalists covered the event from their own countries. After the rap group performed their song, they addressed millions of viewers watching the final. ‘Stefania’ is also the second Eurovision entry to be performed entirely in Ukrainian.

Ukrainian band Kalush Orchestra won the Eurovision Song Contest, a clear show of popular support for the group's war-ravaged nation that went beyond music.

This is extremely nice,” said Julia Vashenko, a 29-year-old teacher. Ukraine was able to participate in the music contest “thanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the resistance of our people,” he said. The 439 fan votes is the highest number of televote points ever received in a Eurovision contest, now in its 66th year. Kalush Orchestra itself is a cultural project that includes folklore experts and mixes traditional folk melodies and contemporary hip hop in a purposeful defense of Ukrainian culture. Glory to Ukraine!” The public vote from home, via text message or the Eurovision app, proved decisive, lifting them above British TikTok star Sam Ryder, who led after the national juries in 40 countries cast their votes. “I believe that wherever there is Ukraine now and there is an opportunity to talk about the war, we need to talk,” said Alexandra Konovalova, a 23-year-old make-up artist in Kharkiv. “Any competitions are important now, because of them more people learn about what is happening now.”
