Netherlands wins the Eurovision 2019 Song contest
Duncan Laurence of Netherlands has won the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest. His ‘Arcade’, the doleful piano ballad is the contest winning song.
Arcade was tapped as an early front-runner before Saturday’s Grand Final. But for securing the country’s fifth win in the competition it had to achieve high ranking in the fan voting.
The second position has gone to Italy. Russia, Switzerland and Norway got the next positions in this most awaited competition.
26 nations around the world competed for winning the title for Europe’s best pop singer. Europe’s ultimate pop extravaganza is hosting the Queen of Pop.
“Here’s to dreaming big, this is to music first, always”, said Laurence.
“In the live broadcast of the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final, two of Madonna’s dancers briefly displayed the Israeli and Palestinian flags on the back of their outfits”, said Eurovision.
“This element of the performance was not part of the rehearsals which had been cleared with the EBU and the host broadcaster, KAN. The Eurovision Song Contest is a non-political event and Madonna had been made aware of this” they added.
