Easily the best performance of tonight. As someone said before, James Bond sounding (in fact after what happened in the last one, it should be the next Bond film!).
Stole the show and I really hope it does well on Saturday, it deserves to, but I can't see much of the east voting for it sadly.

I really like this song....
reminds me on a typical James Bond theme
and I wasn't aware that he/she/it has such a great voice :eek:

I'm happy for our little brother Austria that they finally have success in ESC after long years of frustrations respectively absence
Germany unfortunately has a boring **** entry, but at least Austria could bring the ESC back to german-speaking area :)

Impresive! I wasn't a big fan of the song but tonight she was perfect vocally and stunning on the stage. By far she was the best.

Next year everyone should send cliché B-versions of 80's Bond songs and dress as bearded drags... xshrug

Still overrated and this smells Finland 2006 to me... act over song xshrug

But hey, each to their own...

He DID vocally great though... I have to give him that...

EuroVISION.

And you said in the Slovenian thread you consider the whole package instead of the song? Which is it?

It was one of sure qualifiers. Not very good performance and an awful dress.

Somebody mentioned that Conchita performance wasn't broadcasted in Belarus. Can anybody confirm?

I think this song could even win from the first half. But it depends on the goodwill of Russia, Belarus and Armenia, I'm afraid....

Let's eliminate those countries... and three/four other more who won't like the song... that leaves around 30 countries...

average of 7 points each... 30*7 = 210... sure they can win!

Confirmation from Belarussian viewers, the Austrian song was shown on television, and it was possible to vote for it #KillTheRumour

What do Russians in general feel about Austria this year? Does everyone hate Conchita? Or does she have fans? Is there a chance for Russian votes?

well, according to our tv shows she is a freak, on tv people were mad about her ... well, a lot of unpleasant things were talked. which I don't want to mention they are really awful it can hurt every european or every guy who belongs to LGBT community, it touched religion side and some other things, but I wwnt to say that the channel which broadcast the show this year (Russia-1) is just a circus..The program about esc was the worst thing I saw in my life..I laughed a lot at some parts of it because of the mad facts, based on nothing ..so do many russians . B in the internet she has a lot of supporters around esc fans, there is a group of her fans in vk.com she has around 3000 supporters or even more, other fans of esc just like her song and her appearance for them is unique, but I belong to people who just can't understand this.. and there are lots of such guys here sorry, but for Russian people it is quite a strange person.. I can predict 1-7 points , but nothing more

Don't even try to convince me they didn't deliberately put her as the last qualifier :lol:

Amazing how a performer can win over so many people, making them forget about a rather mediocre song. Even I am rooting for Conchita! :lol: She's just adorable I can't help it.

Were there no backing vocals cause the vocals sounded very small and meek :? Having backing vocals could have covered a lot of that up xshrug
