The Eurovision 2026 grand final has concluded with all contestants having performed at the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria. In a surprising development, Australia has emerged as the country to beat, pinning its hopes on pop star Delta Goodrem and her song "Eclipse." After failing to make the final last year, Australia brought out the big guns by sending the Innocent Eyes artist to Vienna.
UK Entry Faces Backlash
All eyes were on the United Kingdom's entry, Look Mum No Computer, whose real name is Sam Battle. Early online criticism suggested that the UK was, unfortunately, heading for a nul point score. One particularly scathing post on X described it as the "worst ever entry."
Other Notable Performances
Moldova, Finland, and Bulgaria also impressed audiences, but now the fate of all contestants rests on a lengthy voting period. The winner is expected to be announced around 11:30 PM in the UK.
Controversy Over Israel's Participation
Controversy surrounded the competition regarding Israel's participation with entry Noam Bettan, which prompted five countries to withdraw from the contest in protest.
As the results section begins, contestants face a nervous wait to see who will take home the coveted Eurovision trophy.
