It was expected, she wins again. Sweden and its singer Loreen won the final of the 67th edition of Eurovision in Liverpool (United Kingdom), collecting 583 points for the song "Tattoo". Rapper Käärijä's Finland and Noa Kirel for Israel rounded out the podium, performances that thrilled viewers across Europe and Australia, as punters had predicted.

At 39, Loreen becomes only the second artist in Eurovision history to win the competition twice, and the first woman. She received her trophy from the hands of the Ukrainian group Kalush Orchestra, the last reigning winners.
The France, which was represented by Quebec singer La Zarra, finished in 16th position, with 104 points, at the end of an evening that saw 26 performances. The Quebec singer, unhappy with her place, expressed her discontent with a hand gesture that is already much talked about on social networks.
