荷蘭歌手羅倫斯上月18日以「電子遊樂場」一曲贏得2019年(在以色列首都特拉維夫舉行的)歐洲歌唱大賽冠軍。
●The UK’s Michael Rice came bottom, after getting just three points from the public vote, and a total of 16 points for Bigger Than Us.英國歌手瑞斯演唱的「超越你我」在滿分16分的觀眾投票中僅拿三分，成績墊底。●Laurence said: “Here’s to dreaming big, this is to music first, always.”羅倫斯說：「這是敢於夢想的舞台，總是優先向音樂致敬。」
●The last time The Netherlands won was 1975. The audience joined in as Laurence performed the track again at the end of the show.
荷蘭上次奪冠是1975年，羅倫斯在節目最後再次表演時，觀眾與他同歡。●Italy finished second with 465 and Russia third with 369 points.義大利選手以465分居次，俄羅斯歌手則以369分排名第三。
●The ceremony also saw last year s winner Netta perform, while singers from previous contests also sang each other’s songs.去年奪冠的以色列歌手芭茲萊（ Netta Barzilai）出席頒獎典禮並表演，眾參賽者互唱彼此的比賽歌曲。
●Madonna also performed just before the voting results were announced. She kicked off her set with a version of Like A Prayer, with backing dancers dressed as monks.瑪丹娜在投票結果宣布前表演「宛如祈禱者」，與扮成修道士的舞者們載歌載舞。●She went on to sing Future, her new single featuring the rapper Quavo.她接著與饒舌歌手Quavo合唱新歌「未來」。
●Sharp eyes could see that two of her dancers turned their back, one had a Palestinian flag pinned to their back, while the other featured an Israeli flag, holding hands in a gesture of coexistence.眼尖的群眾發現，兩名舞者的身後各自別上以色列和巴勒斯坦的國旗；兩名舞者手牽著手，象徵以巴共存。
●A section of her performance in which her backing dancers displayed Israeli and Palestinian flags was not an approved part of the act, organisers
●Eurovision said: “In the live broadcast of the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final, two of Madonna’s dancers briefly displayed the Israeli and Palestinian flags on the back of their outfits.歐洲歌唱大賽說：「總決賽轉播時，瑪丹娜的兩名舞者短暫展示以色列和巴勒斯坦國旗。」
●”This element of the performance was not part of the rehearsals which had been cleared with the EBU and the host broadcaster, KAN. The Eurovision Song Contest is a nonpolitical event and Madonna had been made aware of this.”「這個表演元素顯然未在歐洲廣播聯盟，及主辦的以色列公共廣播公司認可的綵排中出現，歐洲歌唱大賽非政治活動，瑪丹娜必須留意這點。」
