The result went down to the wire as Israel's Yuval Raphael occupied top spot until Austria's public results were read out.
JJ wowed the public and the voting juries with his song Wasted Love.

Meanwhile, the United Kingdom's Remember Monday failed to better last year's position on the leaderboard.
The trio finished in 19th spot on the leaderboard, one spot below Olly Alexander who represented the UK last year.
However, the girl group did score significantly higher with the voting Eurovision juries.
But in a rather awkward moment, it was revealed Remember Monday had received zero points from the world's voting public.
Switzerland were the only other country to fail to receive a single point from the voting public.

GETTYThe night was full of talking points, with BBC commentator Graham Norton failing to hide his shock at the surprising nature of the results.
There were also several contentious moments, with Raphael targeted by protestors during her performance.
Three pro-Palestine activists were detained after trying to rush the stage while Raphael was performing, something that left her "shaken and upset".
Meanwhile, UK fans were left furious when the Basel crowd booed Remember Monday before they'd even sung a note.
With JJ being crowned this year's winner, next year's Eurovision will head to Austria.
