Nemoโ of Switzerland has been crowned the winnerโ of the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest,finishing ahead of Croatia’s Baby Lasagna,whose song “Like a Superhero” was widely predicted to take the top spot. The โฃfinal results, tallied May 11, 2024, in Malmรถ, Sweden, saw Nemo โsecure victory with their song “The Code,” โa powerful performance exploring non-binary identity.
Italy’s Angelina Mango placed seventh in the competition,a strong showing for the nation but falling short ofโ expectations fueledโข by pre-contest polling. The Eurovision Song Contest, โa globally televised event with roots dating back to 1956, โคremains a significantโค culturalโ touchstone, offering a โขplatform for emerging musical talentโข and fosteringโ a sense of pan-European unity. This year’s contest, watchedโ byโ an estimated 162 million viewersโ worldwide, underscores the event’sโ enduring appealโฃ and โits capacity to launch artists onto the international stage.
The final ranking, determined by a combination of public and jury votes, sawโฃ Switzerland achieve 591โฃ points. Croatia followed closely with 547 points, while โSlovenia secured third place with โ468 points. โขFrance and Ukraine rounded out the top five.
Baby Lasagna acknowledged Nemo’sโฃ win, stating in a post-contest interview, “Nemo deserved to win. It was a really goodโข song,a really good performance.”
Angelina Mango’s seventh-place finish with “La Noia” represents Italy’s best result since 2011, when Raffaella Carrร finished second. The contest’s outcome will likely influence the trajectory of Nemo’s โขcareer, providing aโ springboard for further โinternational โrecognition andโ opportunities.ยฉ RESERVED REPRODUCTION.
