Austria AUSTRIA 2014 - Conchita Wurst - Rise like a Phoenix

[Eames]

Great job, Conchita! I think you should just go ahead and win the whole thing!

 

[Lugano]

Best performance on Eurovision since Pastora in 2012.

 

[A-lister]

So can people FINALLY stop calling him a "her", he even answered in the winners' press conference that he is a HE and will stay that way and that Conchita is JUST a character...

Atleast he is honest about what I've been saying from the get-go, and it's refreshing tbh...

I must say that he as a person comes across as likeable, but nonetheless the song with let's say Sanna Nielsen (without a beard of course ) singing it, would not get half the attention it does.

Oh give me a break! Shave the beard and cut off his c0ck and this heard-it-thousand-times-before song will go completely unnoticed...

Perhaps for you...for me it worked in an opositte way, I didn't like the studio version neither the video, but tonight Conchita just slap me and shout my mouth with an amazing performance.
I don't give a flying f...k if she has a beard or c0ck! That seems to be more important for haters, so they can keep busy talking about it meanwhile she's shining!

 

[RainyWoods]

I think you're confusing sexual attraction with admiration for an artist

Hello Mr Mozz, I hope the evening is going well for you. Later on I plan to sift through this thread to find the message of yours to quote on Saturday when Austria win... you know the message

 

[AdelAdel]

I don't think that it's only because of his beard or whatever that people voted for this song. It was the strongest song of the evening!

Maybe I'll reach that post faster than you can. I'll know what to do then (no I'm kidding)

 

[Andreea]

I'm not not interested in lads but seriously... guys find this attractive?

I have no idea, I'm a woman
is not my type, but he's cute as a man.

 

[Synergise]

I'm calling it now - Austria is given position 13.
Epic performance tonight by the way, glad my vote helped

Tom is not competing in ESC, Conchita is and Conchita is definitely a 'her', just as Tom is definitely a 'him'.

Conchita as a character is a woman, so "she or her" is totally fine...at least it's better than call her "it" just like [MENTION=10351]Trece[/MENTION] did, which for me it's very disrespectful, you can like her or not, but do not forget she is still a human even under a mask.

 

[Mozz]

I noticed that. Maybe they panicked because of all the betting. One betting site said that because of the over whelming betting on the UK, if they win it could be their biggest pay out ever. I assume its been taken down until the final order is created.

Ah, I see. I'm looking for a bookie that has an 8 or higher odd for or now maybe as well. Wanna try my luck this year

HE admitted he is a HE... still people call HIM a HER... I'd say that's the most disrespectful

 

[Nikkita]

I completely disagree that ''attention act'' thing towards Conchita.I hoped people would FINALLY get she was not a joke,but they didn't.We talked about the Slavic Girls entry but...did it thrilled the fans and the audience THIS much? No.

Conchita or Tom,this person has an amazing voice.Sorry for the typos and grammar but i don't think it's just the beard.She's not just ''another weirdo''.She has class and talent.Some people just can't get it.
And by the way;
Tom Neuwirth is a he
Conchita Wurst is a she

It's pretty obvious now we are either getting a Swedish, Austrian or Dutch win


And I can't wait

NEVER going to happen especially with the hosts constant insistence on calling Conchita Queen of Austria

Most of the die hard Conchita fans in the audience/online/home probably don't even know this or are in complete denial about it when told (they just keep calling you a homophobe and trans-phobic)

 

[elvisontheisland]

Tom Neuwirth is a he
Conchita Wurst is a she

No,
Tom Neuwirth is a he
Conchita Wurst is an artificial stage persona created for entertainment purposes

love how taken out of context one word, I said she/he/it, because all people call Conchita how they want (and their right) the only one who can feel disrespectful is Conchita, not you because I/anyone other never mentioned you. Don't overreact

You didn't get it
