Serbia, in its first solo appearance at the Eurovision Song Contest, took home this year’s prize during Saturday night’s competition thanks to Marija Serifovic’s Celine-gone-drag-king “Molitva,” a big ballad that teeters on the line between completely sappy and sorta dirgey. (The Ukrainian gender-bending entry finished second.) While nine countries gave “Prayer” their best-in-competition votes, even the presence of a pan-flute solo couldn’t stop this five-month-old from falling into a full-on drool.
