Discover without further delay the complete ranking!

This Saturday, May 13, 2023, the British city of Liverpool vibrated to the rhythm of the 67th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest! During more than 2 hours, the representatives of the 26 finalist countries competed, sometimes offering very beautiful performances like those of the Czechs of Vesna, the Norwegian Alessandra or the Ukrainians of Tvorchi. Other performances were more rock'n'roll (the Germans of Lord of the Lost and the Australians of Voyager), more crazy (the Croatians of Let 3 and the Finnish Käärijä), or more touching (the Serbian Luke Black and the Estonian Alika).

After the performances came the interminable, but unavoidable voting session (jury and public) where each country had to give points (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12 points) to their ten favorite songs.

More than 4 hours after the launch of the grand final, the 67th edition of Eurovision has finally lifted the veil on the big winner of 2023 and revealed the name of the artist who succeeds the Ukrainians of Kalush Orchestra, winners last year. Drum roll... The victory goes to Loreen !

Representing Sweden, Loreen - whose real name is Lorine Zineb Nora Talhaoui - has seduced many countries with her song " Tattoo " with a heady chorus. A great achievement for the 39-year-old artist who won the Eurovision Song Contest for the second time. We recall that the singer had already won for the Scandinavian country in 2012 with her song"Euphoria". With this new victory, Sweden will have the honor of hosting the 68th edition of Eurovision, scheduled for spring 2024.

Just behind Loreen, we find the musical phenomenon revealed by the contest and representative of Finland, I named Käärijä, with his title " Cha Cha Cha ". The Finn is the artist of the evening who received the most points from the audience, but it was not enough to finish first.

Finally, on the third step of the podium, we find the Israeli Noa Kirel with his title " Unicorn ".

What about France, represented this year by La Zarra? The singer arrived in 16th position with her song " Evidemment ". If La Zarra does better than the Breton quartet Alvan & Ahez, who came second last year, it does not succeed in surpassing the very good performance of Barbara Pravi, who came 2nd in 2021 with her song " Voilà ".
