"I'd also like to add that Eurovision is in great health, and that reports of it's death are greatly exaggerated. It's ratings in the UK were the 2nd highest in a decade."

yeah it was 100% for Conchita taking part ahahahaha

It was cause British fans expected good result of their entry, even victory..

It was never implied it was about Conchita.

Do half of this forum even read?

Hmm I guess the half you agree with reads everything and the half you don't agree wit doesn't read anything..that half actually can't read at all, they are some aliens..

Austria's winning just spread more the anti-EU propaganda in Russia.
I've just read what Dimitri Rogozin, Russia vice premier, wrote on Facebook yesterday when he posted Conchita picture from the final

I suspect him of drinking too much, in the recent days only nonsense has posted.
(yesterday he said he will fly soon with a Tupolev over Romania. I think he would really enjoy to throw us some rockets)

It always was a rubbish festival in just a bit more intelectual circles..

And to be honest it is..

I can't see why Conchita makes the contest circus . Every people must have the opportunity to be in the stage of Eurovision, straight/gay/bisexual/drag queens etc... I understand that you are dissapointed cause one of your have came 2nd beaten by a song that you dislike and I know that it isn't the best feeling. But then I remember that you had said that you dislike the song and her voice, not her

How are people reacting on your countries?
In Portugal, even though we gave Austria 12, the comments on news articles and stuff are mostly completely ridiculous.

anti gay/transgender groups are being very vocal and getting support =/

Thank you Conchita for your interpretation of freedom and self-determination

Just to be sure, Conchita is a drag and not a transsexual right? And if it's a drag, is it a 24/7 act?

I obviously would have wanted The Netherlands to win over this, but I am happy for Austria after their 46 year wait of an ESC victory

We're still waiting though, also since 1975 already...

The crowd waiting for Conchita at Vienna Airport

 

[Leydan]

Lol Imagine if there's some genuine tourists in there lost in the crowd.

 

[Mlyn]

Sanna Nielsen told ORF that Austria is wonderful and a perfect winner, and it's so good for ESC.

And they were all singing!

 

[Alberca]

Congrats Austria!!

 

[Mlyn]

The Austrian commentator was crying three times because of Conchita's victory. When he landed on Vienna Airport the captain said "It was an honour flying you home, Conchita" and Andi Knoll sobbed....

 

[bashers]

I agree that it is a massive step, but backwards. And I thought this was Eurovision SONG Contest.
Not to mention her tears and other fake emotions that were just a part of her marketing and propaganda that lasted from September 2013
I am pretty sure that even if Conchita sang "Moustache" (I took that example because ended last), (s)he would have still won the whole thing. Just like I am sure that this song will be forgotten in a week at most.


.

I disagree wholeheartedly! Did you actually listen to her voice? The song? It was incredible. She commanded the stage more than anyone last night. Fact. You should be moaning about Armenia coming 4th - he was shocking and barely sang a note right...! It's a massive step because it was ALL about the song. No gimmicks, no dancers, no trampolines or roller bladers...she stood there and did what few did! So she had a beard? So what! Most entrants would be passionate and emotional! She has the right to, just like anyone else!

Ah bless him, the amount of 2007 videos I used to rewatch on YouTube a few years ago and they all had his deep voice commentary on, memories
