Olly Alexander’s Eurovision Song Contest journey ended with a disappointing 18th place finish. The highly anticipated event, held in Sweden, was ultimately won by Switzerland’s Nemo with his captivating track ‘The Code’.
The competition was not without its share of drama. Dutch entrant Joost Klein faced disqualification after allegedly intimidating a female member of the production crew. As a result, he was deemed unfit to continue in the contest. Israel’s Eden Golan also faced backlash from protestors during rehearsals.
Despite the chaos, Olly Alexander took the stage with a racy and raucous performance of his hit song ‘Dizzy’. Fans of the 33-year-old singer expressed their pride and admiration on social media, with one user stating, “So proud of @alexander_olly, been a fan for a long time and he absolutely smashed it! #Eurovision2024”. Another fan tweeted, “Loving @alexander_olly and his song #Eurovision2024 #Eurovision #dizzy”.
In a surprising turn of events, ABBA’s members did not make an appearance at the Eurovision Song Contest to commemorate the 50th anniversary of their 1974 win. Instead, a tribute to the iconic band took place at Malmo’s Folkets Park, leaving fans disappointed and longing for an ABBA reunion.
Overall, the 68th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest was filled with excitement, controversy, and memorable performances. Switzerland’s Nemo emerged as the deserving champion, while Olly Alexander’s journey may not have ended as successfully as he had hoped.

Loreen, the sensational Eurovision champion from 2012, made a triumphant return to the stage on Saturday night. The 40-year-old songstress wowed the audience with her performance of her latest single, ‘Forever’. Sporting a daring ensemble consisting of figure-hugging body armour with stylish cut-out segments, Loreen proved once again why she is a force to be reckoned with.
Fans were quick to express their admiration for the Swedish star’s outfit, drawing comparisons to Zendaya’s recent appearance at the Dune 2 premiere. One fan on social media platform X exclaimed, “Loreen is wearing half of Zendaya’s outfit from the Dune 2 premiere!” Another fan playfully estimated the value of her outfit at around 10,000 robux.
