Sweden, represented by singer Loreen, won the Eurovision final, which took place on Saturday evening in Liverpool, in the north of England.
Loreen, already first in the competition in 2012, is the second artist to win Eurovision twice after Johnny Logan for Ireland in the 80s. Finland came in second, Israel in third and France in 16e place.
Quebec singer La Zarra represented France at this prestigious musical competition. The Eurovision Grand Final, presented this year in Liverpool, England, brought together artists from 26 countries.
35 years ago, a certain Celine Dion won the competition for Switzerland there.
This time, on the occasion of the 67e edition of the event, La Zarra performed his song Obviously. She was the sixth to go on stage. She appeared on a high platform, from where she performed her entire performance. The artist performed her song with confidence, wearing a black and red sequined dress and a matching hat.
La Zarra was cheered by the crowd as she uttered the last note of her song, as the decor, initially rather sober, lit up with twinkling lights and jets of flame.
Last year, the Kalush Orchestra group from Ukraine was rewarded during the 2022 final which was presented in Turin, Italy.
Due to the war in Ukraine, since the invasion of Russia a year ago, the UK has offered Ukraine to host the event.
