Austria AUSTRIA 2014 - Conchita Wurst - Rise like a Phoenix

[Andreea]

I ask my self if Conhita without a Birde in a Dress would make it in the Final?

I think the lyrics were written for a character like Conchita.

Peering from the mirror
No, that isn’t me
Stranger getting nearer
Who can this person be

Without dress and beard, so without Conchita, they would have to change the lyrics.
But the lyrics are also connected with the music.

wow it seems like Conchita became more confident and more eloquent over the last couple of weeks.... she's stunning and I feel so comfortable watching her...


today we discussed Eurovision in the coffee break, which came out of the blue, because I didn't expect that, and all my colleagues and my boss seem to be so fine with Conchita Wurst and find her intriguing and very likeable..... I was smashed by the fact that Conchita gets such a positive response by ordinary people outside the Community

 

[Gerly]

wow, this is really cool and good =D People put so much effort this year to film their version of Austrian official video. I find it good as long as they are not starting to make fun of him =)

They're talking about Eurovision in Czech Republic?

 

[Mlyn]

There's quite a Eurovision buzz at the moment here

 

[Miloutchi]

I'm really looking forward to this one! It is in my top 5 for sure. It's... Interesting. That's all I can say.

Will you participate next Year?

 

[Mlyn]

No, I won't constipate, maybe masturbate... we'll see

 

[PashonFrut]

Conchita is the most interesting contestant to me this year. We always have sexy girls in sexy clothing, handsome dudes same old acts. To me this whole act is serious and fun at the same time. Judging by her interviews she comes across as very intelligent with a great sense of humour. I would be more than happy to see her as a winner!

Conchita just slayed the jury rehearsal :O The audience was shouting her name!

06. AUSTRIA – CONCHITA WURST – RISE LIKE A PHOENIX
Fotis: Theatrical entrance of the camera towards Conchita with total darkness onstage before revealing her face as we should all concentrate on voice instaed of a beared. Truly I am not able to review this one live, I am totally speechless and Austria can actually win the entire thing this year. The last part of the song makes the arena really shouting out Conchita’s name, and she feels proud on stage, you can tell that. AUSTRIA CONGRATULATIONS one of your best (if not the best) entries ever!


Olivier: The Austrian postcard was shot in Vienna Opera House, and Conchita uses dresses to recreate her flag. One word here: DIVA. What a performance! So classy! Conchita is alone on stage in a beautiful dress and her voice as well as the music is close to perfection. The screens are superb and those wings of fire… WOW! Not only “Rise Like A Phoenix” must go to the final, but, for many reasons, it must win the whole contest. Huge reactions in the arena as well as the press centre. We want to go to Vienna next year!

Is there? I've seen just a few articles

 

[gustav]

For such a song to succeed, it has to be sung to near perfection by a woman or man. Wurst doesn't meet any of these conditions, and therefore I see this flopping big time.

 

[chokladplopp]

GO CONCHITA!!

 

[nofuxCZ]

Video from last night's jury rehearsal. TV screen filmed from 1:34 onwards, so don't watch if you don't want to see how it will look on TV

 

[Gordon_Shumway]

The song gets better and better every time I hear it (although with eyes closed). Should really be in the final!!!

Best of luck for tonight, I shall be using all my votes for Miss Wurst.
