The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel, Switzerland is shaping up to be historic with updated betting odds suggesting an unexpected winner. Following last year's non-binary winner, this edition features multiple LGBTQ+ artists, including Adonxs, Red Sebastian, Marko Bošnjak, and Erika Vikman. Controversy arises with Malta’s Miriana Conte, who reworked her song "Kant" after censorship issues, showcasing the ongoing intersection of art and politics at Eurovision. With Claude's uplifting track "C'est La Vie" also catching attention, the event promises once again to challenge norms and surprise its audience.
Malta's queer-inspired entrant Miriana Conte has made headlines after the European Broadcasting Union told her she couldn't use her song "Kant" - which featured the beat-drop lyric "Serving Kant" - as it sounded too similar to an English swear word. Despite this, Conte has returned with a re-done version of the track simply called "Serving" - we're assuming the Eurovision audience will fill in the rest.
According to the betting public, this year's Eurovision winner could be a history-maker, too. These odds suggest a potential for unprecedented results driven by the unique diversity of performers.
The 2025 contest features a number of LGBTQ+ performers, including Adonxs representing Czechia, Red Sebastian for Belgium, Marko Bošnjak for Croatia, and Erika Vikman representing Finland. Their participation may shift the dynamics of traditional voting patterns.
Claude's "C'est La Vie" builds and erupts into a thumping dance-pop track that sounds like a classic Eurovision staple, encouraging listeners to focus on life’s brighter side.
