Conchita is flawlessssss
Conchita currently ranks seventh at Unibet/888.com over Hungary and Norway .... the slayage continues :O
omg, I'd be so pissed if she wouldn't qualify or if she gets a mediocre result in the final.....
But I also think Andras Kallay-Saunders deserves more than #6 to #8
Fingers crossed for Central Europe!

Hope some people will not fell offended, is not my intention…
First time when I watched Austria’s entry (the official video) I felt disgust ; not because a man poses as woman, but because of the image of the woman he provides, a hybrid. I was focused on character rather than song. Second time I tried to not be distract from listening the song. It sound like an old classic film, something I listened before, something known, but after the first 30 seconds I realized that the power reside in the lyrics “Waking in the rubble ,walking over glass, Neighbors say we are trouble, well that time has passed. Peering from the mirror, no, that isn’t me,stranger getting nearer,who can this person be?” So, I had to re-watched it for the third time because it all made sense now and all the artistic act show that the distinction between ego and world is made by spitting out part of the inside and swallowing in part of the outside. I needed three times to see beyond the surface. Maybe I’m stupid, but I think most of the audience is like me, so I don’t give much chance to Austria, because if you see this act for the first time, you’ll be focusing on appearance, and ignore all rest, its inevitable.Most Eurovision viewers are not English native speakers so they will not “hear” the lyrics because of the shock, they will not even make the effort to understand the lyrics, so the entire act would not make sense and would think it's a cheap parody. ( The performance on stage is not disturbing at all, I saw the rehearsal, but the official video is a little bit disturbing).

The staging is very similar to the one Nadine had, but with a touch of Bond theme.

Conchita & Dilara
luckily dilaria is smiling enough for them both.
Sportingbet says Winning! 6/5
I was just about to say that lol
They are the favourites according to them
I've just checked the actual site
Its just oddschecker that have messed up, they are using Austria's odds from the 'to make top 10'
They are actually 16/1 to win
Conchita & Dilara

Conchita looks amazing in long dresses.Amazing padding skills.I didn't like her dress in the 2nd rehearsal though.It's maybe because i don't like that color :X
