Austria AUSTRIA 2014 - Conchita Wurst - Rise like a Phoenix

[Mrm]

When is album of Moje 3 finally released?

WTF! :?

Am I fuckin' deamin'? :?

1. This is the wrong thread to discuss them,a nd apprently a wrong yeara! xfacealm

2. They were almost at the bottom of my list last year, if you allude to that..vocally they were awesome, miles above CW though, but composition was very bad..on the level with this one..

3. They took part in singing talent show and know to sing fantastic..

Oh dear, I thought you wanted to make a point that an Eurovision artist should have an album..... well, seems you got slightly carried away on your spree.

Honestly I'd prefer if ESC winner, not all artists have at least one album behind them..I'd like real musicians to win this festival..

 

[Mlyn]

Well, it's a song contest. You only have to sing there and don't have to play an instrument.

And you don't have to have an album, because that would mean Celine Dion or Lena would have never been able to participate.

It's also a bit early to say that Conchita won't have an album, when at the same time every major record company wants to sign her. I guess we'll have a Conchita album within this year.

She is a working queen, working for her dreams, and her dream is the Grammy..... without an album, there's no grammy.....

You know what? She actually MADE it. Tom always got bullied and harrassed in his life, since he was gay and always wore girls clothing. His loving father even stated, that he always knew he had a gay son.

Anytime back then he decided to not only come out of the closet, but also to live a fantastic life. And if you are able to live your life the way you want it, then you made it. And this is something appealing to all of us. Conchita is not a grotesque character, but pure and authentic, celebrating her life and her choices.

Who else can say that? Aren't we all dreaming of living our lives free of boundaries, without hiding what we are secretly ashamed of because of conventional wisdom? In fact we are in boundaries set by society, pleasing our parents, our employers and crawling on our kness our entire life and dying regretfully over the missed chances.

Conchita overcame her boundaries, that is why she is so much adored.

Maybe her haters are envious and secretly regret having a sad life. The negativity that surrounds some people on the internet who are always arguing and just can't get over it, often makes me think that and even sympathize with those poor souls.

So its all about politics and the sob story then :? Eurovision is a SONG contest not X-Factor x0s

Everything you wrote sounds like a profile clip from a TV talent show where they try to manipulate people into voting for them. Nothing you wrote has anything to do with the song/performance which is what Eurovision is suppose to be about.

And I won't even address the last paragraph as its a typical attack from those who refuse to see any other view besides their own. You can't guilt anyone here into liking the whole Conchita act if they don't.

Eurovision was invented when Europe was in pain after the wars. It should distract the people and give them consolation and relief, but also bring the torn Europe together! It was political from the very beginning.

Eurovision always allowed political messages, when they were positive. Love shine a light or Ein bisschen Frieden were also political songs....

And now Conchita conveyed a beautiful message of tolerance, to bring Europe together for LGBT rights and acceptance. And she succeeded, look at the televotes across Europe!


I don't know why she won because of her personal sob story, because this story was never told at Eurovision.

Congrats Conchita! Truly deserved. Now let me kneel for you, my queen !

#HatersGonnaHate all of you

Apparently some people here are not capable of considering the fact that having a political statement does not exclude the possibility that it is transported via a great song. And in this case, it IS a great song, otherwise it wouldn't have won.
Of course it is not a modern one, how could it be, when it is a TIMELESS one
So bottom line: great voice, great song, great artist great message sums up to great victory.
First place over all in televote AND juryvote speak a clear language.

Of course haters will not accept this, it's normal to do so. Freud calls it rationalisation.
Never mind, folks, go on complaining about her and her song, that only contributes to her tremendous victory

 

[Terence]

here tonight in tv show italian big Brother

and her in the my local newspaper
La drag queen barbuta ha conquistato l'Europa della musica - Gazzetta di Parma

Vladimir Luxuria I saw her on 'Grande Fratello', bless her!!

 

[Milos-BC]

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!

It was all about the song, and no gimmicks were used? Did we watch the same performance then? I had a feeling that it was EVERYTHING BUT THE SONG. Or, a combination of various elements, of which song meant the least. When ORF chose her, they were obviously aiming at the gimmicks, but anyway, that is all allowed, nothing wrong there.

The problem that I have is that, based on the comments I saw here and there, I clearly concluded that a vast majority of people who supported her, voted for her appearance and not the song. Some voted because they want to prove how tolerant they are, others thought it is cool, etc etc.........

And we will see how long will the song live in the charts and what kind of career Conchita will make. I haven't seen anyone from my FB friends sharing the song, nor did I hear it on any TV or radio station yet. And I did hear other songs from this year's contest, like Hungary and Greece, for example. That will be the best indicator of whether the song was really the best or not.

And not to be mistaken, I am happy with the Austrian victory, and I am sure we will have a great show in Vienna next year. I am not happy with the winner and its entry, though.

Obviously it was a tremendous victory for Conchita, but not for her message of tolerance and acceptance. Otherwise supporters like you would take it seriously and not try to cut off the discussions popping up everywhere by stigmatizing those with different views and priorities as "haters".

 

[A-lister]

Since when to we base our statements on facts? The truth is overrated......

Actually my statement was marked with a question mark since RainyWoods went on about some British composer, I assumed she referred to this song

Regardless, it's still a campy mediocre dated James Bond tune that wouldn't have won if it weren't for the political hype and EBU wanting to mark a "point"

I do not stigmatize anyone.
People who hate things are haters. That's how notions work.
Discussions are fine and I don't cut them off. You can repeat and repeat as often as you want the same views. I won't stop you. I even said : "go on!" That is definitly no cutting of anything, is it?
Read my posting carefully and you'll see

Conchita Wurst was banned to sing in the traditional Slavic Bazaar which is held every year in Belarus due that Conchita's image are completely different from their Slavic values.
