Laura Pausini, who was absent from the Palaolimpico stage for half an hour during the counting, reappeared alongside the other two conductors of the Eurovision Song Contest when the recording of the expert juries’ votes was already at a good point. “Sorry, I was too excited,” she explained in English, indicating that she needed a few minutes to rest. The artist experienced a small pressure drop that forced her to remain behind the scenes.

His performance, the show, waiting for the final ranking. Indeed a lot of emotions from this Eurovision, which as expected ended with the triumph of Ukraine. The Kalush Orchesta triumphed with the song Stefania, powered by televoting, which in front of 200 million viewers propelled them from fourth place on the juries to the top after fearing disqualification for the ‘political’ message at the end of their performance.
Laura Pausini opened the last evening with a medley of her hits including Io canto and La solitudine and her latest single Box. The evening amused, excited, got people dancing. The timing for the vote was highly anticipated: Mika and Alessandro Cattelan held the stage until the artist recovered, joining them shortly after.
