Anyway, it was a flawless rehearsal for Conchita, i really enjoyed it!

I am definitely keeping an eye on Austria from now on, it can even make a top -10 in the final!

I can't believe I'm going to say this but I think could do very well! The rehearsal was really good

British The Mirror (among many news papers with the same Reuters story)

Eurovision 2014: Conchita Wurst faces transphobic backlash as calls to have her banned from the song contest intensify.

There's just one problem: I can't find the petition from "All-Russian Parent Meeting group" at change.org. Either the story is false or the petition has been removed from the site. Tried searching in several ways e.g. Google "eurovision + Conchita site:change.org".

It was very good rehearsal, Concha did good job, but song is boring to hell

 

[Sean]

The face idea is great, staging is great, Conchita is great. Hope this ends high

 

[Iuris]

I'm speechless.
When I read about the wings, I thought of Aurela Gaçe from Albania.


I love the staging, and her live was perfect.
Concepción.

 

[DanielLuis]

The song and the staging are great. I hope that televoters won't stop voting for it because of her appearance.
Juries should help this one a lot on the semi-final.

 

[Sean]

Has this been posted yet?

She's a character alright

 

[Mlyn]

I'm stunned. I have no words for this miracle....

 

[Raniee]

Amazing!

 

[Evalngelion]

AHH AUSTRIA I LOVE THAT CAPTURE, MY NEXT TOP UPDATE WILL BE TOMORROW! TOP 10 ALERT!

 

[Sean]

Austria's chances increase massively day by day!

Apparently the first camera angle is a 45 second zoom from the back of the arena onto her face

 

[Mlyn]

Amazing!

I'M DEAD !! :O

 

[Sammy]

Hmm I insulted Mlyn true that,, but ONLY after he/she did that to me...it was just a reaction to his/her insults..

Oh please! don't go for that "i did, but he did first!"-thing! That's how kids react to criticism. You're a grown-up, aren't you? Mind your language when talking about any person (artists included) and every one is happy!

 

[VikingTiger]

Austria has secured its place as my second favourite this year!
Great use of the scene! Finally something very bright and lush! Suites the song and the lyrics.
I am sure Austria will get massive support from juries. And after having seen the first rehearsal, I also think Conchita will have more chances to get televotes.
But I am still afraid that the beard will draw more attention than the song...

 

[hawadharma]

People still talking about her having beard and being a homo, instead of discussing the song?
FFS.. get over it.

Here's Tom singing Goldfinger and Everything (Greece in Eurovision 2006)

Weird how he looks more effeminate as a man
