Do you think Conchita is having an affair with Graham Norton?

That would be a SENSATIONAL story though Huge news

 

[Happiness]

I've supported Conchita every time but it's getting more like a show or an effort to get attention, instead of being herself.

From now on, that's just eyewash.

 

[Nikkita]

Maybe she's giving the prize to that gentleman?

I finally had a chance to chat about Eurovision with my 86 year old grandma. She started talking about Conchita:

"She sang well, nice song, but hmm the beard.. I didn't like the beard.. I don't know.. that beard.. meh.. she would be prettier without it, and she had a nice voice..."
"You do know that was a man in drag, right?"
" What? That was a man?!? But.. but.. he looked and sounded like a woman... "

I think she's still processing this new information now...

 

[Yoozek]

Well, that was a flawless performance....

 

[Mlyn]

Enjoy Conchita reacting to her votes and victory (as well as a shocked Armenian team)

 

[greece]

Today in the banned Gay Prade in Moscow, the manifestants played Rise like a Pheonix despite the police repression..

Austria just won the Eurovision Young Musicians 2014. Unlike in the ESC, they are very successful there, with now 5 wins, and 2 runner-ups since 1982!

Congrats, Autriche!

I wonder if they will debut on JESC and win it

 

[Leydan]

God, Austria. Leave some success for the rest of us. Such an Ireland.

Conchita sounds a bit tired and exhausted

Conchita sounds a bit tired and exhausted

I was going to say the opposite! It's amazing to see how she keeps her performance on this high level. Even though in the beginning she sounded more fragile than in Kopenhagen, then she got more and more powerful.

And how lovely seeing Anna Netrebko celebrating Conchita's performance.

Conchita, the "homecoming queen", celebrated in her homeland of "Aussee" (Lake Out? Out and About? ) at the spectacular annual Daffodil festival

From memory lane: the emotional video of her wedding to Jacques Patriaque, a French burlesque artist who is her currently husband character (but not the real one of Thomas Neuwirth)

The wedding was in 2010.
