He was great, and the song was great. I respect him so much, the fact that he shows his true colors, and is so brave to stand on a scene so big, with thousands of people watching him. Austria should be proud.
I am in love with this song! Conchita is getting a lot of negative comments from the Russians, and we all need to get behind her, and support her 100%! Dana International did it, and so could Conchita!
we Austrians sent conchita to prove europeans are open minded and she was the ultimate underdog.what a cool song contest and thanks to all who voted for her :)
So you are "openminded" if you grow a beard and pretend to be a woman with a D.? Is that what an open minded person does to prove their "open minded"? lol such a weird logic.
open minded to have no morality at all? If your kid would be like this,will you be also the same open minded? If your son will bring you at home an IT for bride,will you be the same open minded?
***** What exactly is immoral about Conchita Wurst? Women are dressed and styled this way all the time on stage. Are they immoral too then? Chador proponents would probably say so. However shouldn't men also wear chadors then? Or maybe with men, for decency it's enough cover to grow a beard? ;)
Can you believe that a Serbian priest had the audacity to suggest that the floods in Southeast Europe, which killed about 63 people, were because God was punishing Europe for Conchita winning? Does this man, or any of you, not understand who God is? He is our loving and just creator, and that means He created Conchita, and she created this amazing song. Congratulations Conchita, do not ever let those who have nothing but hate in their hearts poison your talent!
so basically our greatest achievements aren't because of our amazing efforts and blood sweat and tears but because of God? Who's the one "poisoning" the talent here?
It doesn't matter how many times anyone tells me that, I will never not believe in a God that loves me and everyone else on this Earth. That's what faith is
"our loving and just" I am already signing in a que to torture you because you're going to hell for cheap religious trolling. I am also glad you failed with only 9 lieks and 4 comments including mine.
Levan Lortkipanidze She tries to explain the world that, no matter who you are, that you still need to be acceptable, and that's why she has a beard, she wants to be a woman, but she shows that she was a man, so she can explain that you can be whatever you want. She is great, and I'm happy that she won!
Eoghan Murphy Sorry but its really sad people from 2014 still dont have the tolerance to accept others who are just different. She dont hurts other people or insults. She is a victim of dumb people who insult her. Nobody is forced to like her, and that is what she said too. But please have the tolerance to accept her as a human.
You Don't Judge Anyone By Their Looks. I Love Austria's Choice This Year! It's Very Classical And This Is Austrian Style, Which Is Good. Because Each Country Has Originality! And This Is Austrian Originality :)
ahem, I hate to rain on your parade, but Tom/Conchita is years ahead of what Austria could ever be ... but we're not bad if he can make it that far and I'm proud of that. I kind of love all interviews because they show off how fab s/he is ... sorry for rambling ... migth need slep.
Conchita definitely deserved to win. The performance was flawless, and awe inspiring. No other act 'moved' the audience and judges so greatly! Congratulations!
I'm sure God wouldn't appreciate all the bible bashers being disrespectful to this man. I thought he said "Love thy neighbor", not " discriminate against minorities"
Don't forget about La dolcevita Same thing diffrent song truly amazing .. Going trough every social media page and seeing all the hate is making me sick and along comes people like you that might be the hope for our world to be that little bit better :)
Bleah when will ppl understand that all living beings have the rigth to live theyr life as they want! If u don't like him,i don't like you too NIGGA HATER!
Guys its not your life to judge so keep your comments to yourself and let her live her life the way she wants it. i am so happy for her to express herself like that to the whole world these are the people who is an inspiration to all. GO CONCHITA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wundervoller auftritt !! Eine sehr schöne stimme und Conchita steht für toleranz und fortschritt die unsere gesellschafft braucht . EInfach nur Top , weiter so :) bin stolz das sie sich das getraut hat .
***** Diese Entwicklung kann Chancen bringen, aber auch schnell negativ, im Sinne immer weiterer Übertrumpfung des außergewöhnlichen- ja, außergewöhnliches KANN kitschig und geschmacklos sein. Aber KUNST, ihre Entwicklung ist u war immer eine grenzüberschreitung, Ephatage, Schock- u das i sinnvoll, da es ne Vorbereitung des Menschen für gesellschaftliche Progresse, sonst blieben wir im Mittelalter. Das is 1 Grund, warum islamische Staaten rückständig bleiben:Hemmungen! Und noch ist seehr wichtig. Als Erzieher in vielen Grundschulen,weiß ich, wie die ungewöhnlich, z b HS, wirkende, Kinder schickaniert werden.Oder einige Viertklässler leiden an Gedanken, ob sie "normall" sind. Umfrage der EU-Grundrechteagentur: Zwei Drittel von HS,Trans.. haben in der Schule ihre sexuelle Ausrichtung verborgen oder verheimlicht. Mindestens 60 Prozent von ihnen wurden in der Schule mit abwertenden Kommentaren bedacht oder begegneten dort negativem Verhalten. Mir tun Leid nicht nur die Mobbingopfer sondern auch die "Täter". Ich kann nur mit den beiden nur reden, wofür ich fast immer zu wenig Zeit habe. Aber mir wurde aus Angst vor Eltern untersagt, mit der Gruppe mit dem Thema Mobbing auch wegen HS auseinanderzusetzen. Eine Schule u eine Gesellschaft ohne Angst und Diskriminierung egal wegen was zu schaffen, das wäre sowohl für die Opfer als auch für die "Täter" seeeehr gut. Also eher " Diese Entwicklung kann Chancen bringen"--ich stimme dir zu. C W und EU-Bürger haben ihren Beitrag dafür geleistet. Respekt u DANKE an alle!
Quand j'ai regardé l'Eurovision 2014 je n'en croyais pas mes yeux. Et pourtant oui il était là avec une voix unique. Bravo et merci. Bonne chance pour l'avenir
***** Conchita is female, thanks. Transphobic much? Seriously, both of you, are you so sad that you go onto a video of a person you so overwhelmingly hate with however much hatred your narrow-minded brains allow, and then put down a comment? Really?
Gratulation Conchita zu einem phantastischen Sieg. Er war mehr als verdient, denn deine Stimme und Performance überrag alles und jeden. Auch ein großes Dankeschön an eine Person, die äußerst sympathisch ist. Du hast die Mischung der Sinne und daher deine berührende Ausstrahlung. Herzlichen Glückwunsch !!!!!!!!!
SO glad she could pull it off. The vocals are almost flawless and it does feel heartfelt and serious. Hope the ones still wondering whether this was a joke entry will come round. Until the Russians (not all of them, though) find out about this clip and start commenting crap.
What makes her/him so special is that under all this make up she really seems to mean everything she is singing about and representing. She is an authentic artist
This is the very essence of our new fantastic European culture - Conchita Wurst (or more familiarly Conchita Sausage). Conchita Wurst is our Brave New World.
Почитал посты и удивился - как, все-таки, личная неприязнь может влиять на оценку. Причем это характерно, в основном, только для русских. Видимо их с детства приучили различать добро и зло, хорошее и плохое не по делам человека, а с позиции - кто этот человек. И если этот человек, не дай бог, не вписывается в рамки "свой", то он моментально становится врагом. Вот почему у России столько много врагов.
"In 2007, Neuwirth reached the final of the 2007 Austrian casting show Starmania, and returned to television in 2011 in drag as the character "Conchita Wurst," a persona he created in response to earlier experiences, and said, "This is about an important message, it's call for tolerance for everything that seems different." That is an amazing message. And he is right. We should be tolerant for everything that seems different. Just because he looks weird and different doesn't mean we should be hating him. He did absolutely nothing wrong. Great job to him, that was a fantastic performance!
This is like when swing/jazz became famous and people were disgusted and outraged because they felt their culture was invaded with ''black music''. In fifty, or even twenty, years people will laugh at the negative reactions to this person and be relieved they are so advanced in their values, just like we do today (and obviously we aren't very open minded..).
XtremuZ It's all a matter of adaptation. Soon this will be normalized and something else will become the outrageous phenomenon, just like it always has been through history.
The song is amazing. The performance would be a lot cooler if they didn't show Conchita's face/beard until the "You have got to see to believe" part of the song just to surprise the viewers in Eurovision :-)
Bravo, Conchita! Bravo! You're such an inspiration. And you know what? F*ck the haters, you were blessed with your talent, keep using it... 'cause you will always rise like a phoenix. From Venezuela to Austria, greetings!
Love and Light to all of the commenters on here that are so hateful, I pray you find love and tolerance in your life. Life is sooo much richer, happier and beautiful with tolerance and love in it!!!! Congrats Conchita, awesome voice and song!!!
I really don't get with the amount of dislikes on he's videos. Just because he's gay and in drag. Who cares? If that what's make him happy and comfortable about himself, then it really doesn't matter. Who cares really, it's about the song and the talent, not about he's appearance. He seems like a genuine, nice guy.
He have a nice voice, I don't fucking care his gender. I only want to listen him singing, not reading stupid people calling him "ugly" or "disgusting" just for being a genderqueer :| It's his body and his voice, and he is so talented.
Видимо у вас своя Россия. И не вся Россия соответствует вашим требованиям. В принципе вы имеете право на свое мнение, так же как и те кто голосовал за Кончиту. Лично мне понравилась Sanna Nielsen.
Мы отдали Австрии лишь 5 баллов, что означает лишь, то, что люди, которые смотрели Евровидение, а не просто узнали результаты, куда более толлерантны, чем вы думаете х)
i swear to god all the negative comments are making me sick like this performer is going up on stage sharing they passion and all you can say is "ew what is THAT why doesn't it shave" like excuse you they have every right to dress and identify however they want. Why do you care. They're incredibly talented and look incredible. (and to everyone who's trying to be respectful and polite, good for you!)
Enough with this hating towards the message that Conchita is giving, she is saying that gender and what we look like is unimportant and that what truly is important is who we are and what we do and for that I am so glad she won with the amazing rise like a pheonix
Well, bearded males singing female parts is exactly in Euro tradition, dating like 3000 years back to ancient Greek theater... So nothing new here, live on.
You're so wrong. Homosexuality was common place in Ancient Greece, which is all in the literature. Achilles and Patroclus slept with each other, for instance.
Unfortunately, present day Greeks and especially Egyptians were fucked and impregnated so much and so often by conquering Arabs, that this is a downgrade, genetically and spiritually. For instance when traveling for Greek ruins, I go to Turkey, not Greece, as most of them are on present-day Turkish territory.
I have nothing else in my mind but 'wow!'. It just all fits, it's awesome! And she's a pretty lady as well, I hope she'll achieve what she has in mind eventually. Maybe not now, but later on perhaps :3
I enjoyed this; reminded me of 007 film from the 20th Century! There's nothing wrong with this singer. Congrats on winning the Eurovision Song Contest!
Heidi Pungartnik Reproductive system? That is, was and will be the scientific, cultural and social definition of woman. He can pretend to be female, but he will always be a man, no matter what happens. Fate is blind on our preferences and nor do I, you or anyone else can do anything about it, no matter how much we would want to.
