The UK\u2019s Eurovision<\/a> entry, Look Mum No Computer, has shared a statement after coming in last place.<\/p>\n The 70th edition of the show went down in Vienna\u2019s Wiener Stadthalle last night (May 16), and saw Bulgaria\u2019s Dara win with \u2018Bangaranga\u2019, marking Bulgaria\u2019s first ever victory<\/a>, with the rap and bhangra-adjacent track coming out on top of both the jury and audience voting.<\/p>\n Look Mum No Computer\u2019s \u2018Eins, Zwei, Drei\u2019<\/a>, however, finished at the bottom of the table in 25th place, picking up only one point from the jury scores and getting the dreaded zero votes from the public.<\/p>\n The YouTuber and electronic musician, real name Sam Battle, has since celebrated Bulgaria\u2019s historic win on social media, telling his followers they were the \u201cdeserved winner\u201d and that he\u2019d met \u201ca lot of amazing folk\u201d during the competition.<\/p>\n \u201cThe most important thing is [that] we all tried our hardest,\u201d he wrote. \u201cRegardless of what is against us. Whatever it may be. Gotta keep trying your hardest regardless of the foooookennnn outcome!!!\u201d<\/p>\n The singer, who is known for building and playing instruments made from unconventional materials, shared the statement alongside him and a crowd chanting \u201cUK\u201d and \u201cein Punkt\u201d, which means one point in German.<\/p>\n He is now the third UK act in a row to be awarded nul points in the public vote, after Remember Monday fared the same in 2025<\/a>, as did Olly Alexander in 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n The lead up to last night\u2019s contest was marred by controversy, with Israel\u2019s participation once again proving to be divisive. Their entrant Noah Bettan nearly took the trophy after finishing in second place, and there were audible boos in the hall when their high score was announced.<\/p>\n Several countries \u2013 Ireland, Netherlands, Slovenia, Iceland and Spain \u2013 boycotted the event<\/a> in protest at Israel\u2019s inclusion, and during the semi-finals earlier in the week, Bettan received a mixed response from the audience<\/a>, with some cheering while others booed and shouted anti-Israel slogans. One person in particular could be heard for around a minute during the performance, saying \u201cStop the genocide\u201d.<\/p>\n Ahead of the contest, Amnesty International called for Israel to be suspended, and criticised the EBU for not suspending the country like it did with Russia in 2022 due to the ongoing conflict with Ukraine<\/a>, with their Secretary General, Agn\u00e8s Callamard saying it was \u201can act of cowardice and an illustration of blatant double standards when it comes to Israel\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n
