Then why are they not mentioned? Did they take part as contestants or just as an interval act? On the homepage of the festival i didn't find these names.
But besides, I think Conchta can live with not being invited to that festival ;)

On Twitter and some forums yesterday appeared information that Conchita received an invitation from the organizers of “Pride Parade Belgrade 2014″ to attend the walk, which is scheduled for May 31st, but it is still not known if the parade will be held, the daily writes. According to unofficial information, Conchita enthusiastically accepted the invitation to visit Belgrade and Pride Parade. So far there is no official confirmation that Conchita Wurst will come to Belgrade, but some in LGBT circles believe that this is a “done deal”.


xclap

Poor Conchita. Nature is cruel enough as it is, just as it has always been. One would have thought Man would have learned to be more understanding by now.

I am sure Conchita will be invited to Madrid Pride and she will come again. I'm also 99% sure they plan to get Ruth and Conchita together on the same stage.

How stupid are some people....:? What is going to happen if the kids see Conchita?The lady with the beard is gonna eat them? I see her again and again and see I'm here xshrug...Same goes to My Slowianie' performance xshrug But I suppose that if you have never feel as Conchita feels you can't understand her... Cause it's not about gay and straight any more...it's about how the people look,act,believe,think... but there isn't place for different people in this world... xfacepalm We live in the 21st century people...xgaah

I've seen several videos on chinese TV that show her face, like this one:

It seems androgyny is having a revival in pop culture, now that the 80's are long gone........ I like it!

I completely understand that people are upset with an act winning instead of a song, but you have to understand that Conchita's performance trancended any rules. In the end it was about something bigger than the song. It was art in my opinion, and I think something that rare deserves recognition.
Also, this year had no obvious smash hits like "Fairytale" or "Euphoria", so I guess it all had to come down to the performances, and in that regard Conchita deserved the win.

So you came round to enjoying it too in the end? So did I :p
It is interesting, and very telling, when a performance makes people change their solid minds on a song.

Apparently she says tonight that she wants to cast herself in the role of host for eurovision 2015, in Vienna.
