Conchita Wurst (Austria 2014) Interview | London Eurovision Party 2017

[@mdcb91]

Conchita are Loreen are so wise and beautiful in and out... My favorite winners this decade

[@user-bu6he2mk9k]

mdcb91 mine too ♡

[@jordanhalkier81]

Rise like a Phoenix was a song that really got to me, the whole meaning of the song is rising above adversity and people who don't accept you for your differences, I have a stammer and I am gay, so I wasn't the normal guy in high school, I got bullied and laughed at for the way that I spoke, many people don't understand how much stammering can dominate your life and how much speech is taken for granted. But when I heard Rise Like a Phoenix for the first time I just cried so much because of how much I could relate to the suffering and the pain that I went though. Having a stammer did make me feel very depressed and made me want to commit suicide but now I am proud of who I am and since coming out I have gained so much confident and I am just prove that I have faced adversity in my life.

[@yamirzender222]

i hope very much you are so strong now and find a good life and never give up, we are human race , and we are to help us spite of the distances, PEACE AND SUCCESS

[@jordanhalkier81]

[@LolaFaraday72]

[@viennamontreal7442]

Thank you so much William for this great interview. Wiwiblogs' interviews with Conchita are always interesting. Thank you Conchita for doing interviews like this. It is fascinating to learn about you and your plans. You are an amazing artist and an even more amazing human being. Love always. -Guylaine from Canada

[@Wiwibloggs]

What a lovely message. THANK YOU!

[@yamirzender222]

i believe never a winner was so amazing as conchita GREAT TALENT GREAT HUMAN BEING

[@geckomick2570]

She has great humour, funny lass

[@carinawinter9898]

Fingers crossed for Conchita´s next collaboration with a big orchestra - this time in London - after a beautiful concert evening with Sydney Symphony Orchestra in the sold out Sydney Opera, some beautiful concerts with big orchestras in Austria & Germany.

[@anna-cherryrosapie4726]

Thank you for this wonderful interview! What a lovely, wise, funny & warm person Conchita is. Adore her & love her voice! ❤️ Conchita or Tom doesn't matter, it will always be the same talented artist. Crossing my fingers that I'll have a reason to go to London this year... 😉🤞

[@stratoincendus3869]

Julia - CherryRosaPie This was the Wurst interview I've ever seen 😄.

[@Wiwibloggs]

Thank you for watching!

[@Elenuur]

You've got the blessing from Conchita, nothing can stop you now Francesco!

[@MrPapstore]

thank you Conchita to support Francesco Gabbani this year ✌🔝

[@SilverStrumer]

She should come to the U.S. and appear in a TV show on Bravo.

[@mariahuemer7696]

so get active :)

[@nursen2106]

:-D

[@LY-jm9vu]

Conchita's winning performance at ESC2014 was astounding. I don't think it will ever be surpassed.

[@mrmilan6514]

Conchy 💙

[@martinapisu8829]

Conchita che parla di Gabbani è così doce... Adoro entrambi!

[@messin1000]

Can't wait for her new Album :)

[@mariahuemer7696]

2 new songs you can already watch on KZbin in orchestra as Wellas in band version :) WATERS RUN DEEP THE TRUTH

[@DarkRunsOut]

She's such a nice person, it's always great to watch interviews with her.

[@luissumariva]

It's an amazing interview. As a huge Conchita's fan, I love to see you interviewing her and inform about the highlights of her career. It came to my mind now that you haven't been covering Conchita's steps on Wiwibloggs lately. The last time you wrote an article on her was back in August this year when she was about to perform at an international festival in Edimburgh but she couldn't as the Syrisn band she was going to perform with was denied access to UK. She's been up to much since then: - She released a cover with the Austrian singer Ina Regen in Austrian dialect yesterday (available on her KZbin channel) - Visit to Russia last week - 2 amazing orchestra concerts in Germany in November (I was in Berlin and it was undescriptibly spellbinding) - Participation in solidarity events against AIDS in Germany - Many concerts with band in Austria, Germany and Italy. Countless TV appearances in Germany and Austria. Upcoming events: This weekend she's participating in a James Bond Gala at Wiener Konzerthaus. I grabbed tickets for Sunday. I feel so lucky to live in Vienna. On February she will be the guest star at a famous ball in Vienna. I got a ticket too 😃 2 concerts in Austria in April & May. She will release her new album next summer. We, Conchita's fans, would love to see Conchita more often on your fabulous web and your multiple social media channel. 😀😗

[@LolaFaraday72]

Awww, she's just lovely. So humble and sweet!

[@ruiduarte6620]

12 points from Portugal 🇵🇹 Thanks Conchita for your courage...!!!

[@mariahuemer7696]

William again thank you very much for interviewing this outstanding artist who is undoubtedly unstoppable no matter whether as art figure Conchita or as the wf human Tom Neuwirth behind! #theunstoppables

[@Wiwibloggs]

So glad you enjoyed!

[@TheMowro]

William i guess your t-shirt is a clue to let us know the entry you support 🐒😉 thank you for this precious interview, and thanks to Conchita!! she's marvellous and sweet.

[@Wiwibloggs]

Thank YOU for watching!

[@conchitafansfinland1243]

Thank you William, Wiwibloggs and Conchita! What a lovely, funny interview, loved it! And I think we need to start looking into flights to London soon... ;) -N

[@Wiwibloggs]

Thanks for watching! So glad you enjoyed!

[@ugistimenieks6310]

I love BOTH OF YOU!

[@sanniejo8850]

Love Conchita. She's such a fantastic artist and a great human being, her voice is absolutley brillant. Saw her at the Palladium with the BBC2 Concert Orchestra in February - she was amazing. ❤️❤️

[@user-bu6he2mk9k]

oh God I love her♡ Every year I rewatch her winning video !!!

[@JesusRamirez-bf5mk]

I am still waiting for her to be on RuPaul's drag race

[@87leafar]

Always on my heart Conchita

[@giada951]

7:18 - 7:45 Thank you, Conchita :)

[@LennyNavarroGimonatti]

Love her!!!!

[@madddyyy5111]

I love Conchita so much!! When she said that Tom would stop being Conchita my heart sank 😂 she is such an inspiration woman! I absolutely adore her ❤️

[@luthfi1046]

NEW ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!

[@luissumariva]

Back then, Conchita was unsure about that collaboration with the BBC Concert Orchestra because nothing was signed yet. Now she & her team announced it will be a reality. On February 25th she will be at Palladium London. london-palladium.co.uk/event/conchita/

[@Wiwibloggs]

Beautiful news :)

[@ivikaputova3177]

I want movie about Conchita :D

[@Dutchandfrench]

Please do a tour in the US.

[@nizamovanoila1138]

I love you Conchita.. Beautiful Thomas Conchita Jesus ❤ ❤ ♥ 💕 💖 ❤ ♥

[@YUUKIlovesTOeatYOU]

you know.... 😂😂😂

[@KALIMAindia]

Conchita's new look is awesome! I like the thick beard!

[@jakeperalta99]

The comment section of this video and many other english interviews about her is full of supporting and kind comments. In Sanremo interview, under the video almost all comments are "he's a freak" or "what about the children??? they could be shocked OMG stop trying to make children gay!!!". And even Carlo Conti, the interviewer, kept using male pronouns and calling her Tom. And they ask me why I want to move from Italy :'

[@damiensvensson3131]

Very interesting and funny video!

[@jonasw533]

yasss Österreichs queen

[@Alex4u]

smart guy, conchita is not in the headlines now so he is trying to find the next step

[@PieroLunini]

wanna kiss her!

[@oh_itsDTheo]

Is Conchita gonna turn out how Loreen did lol

[@liamholton8937]

I thought Neuwirth was retiring the character.....

[@rakim3447]

omg she looks like Jesus

[@vladimirvlajko5629]

Well, you know.....

[@KevinCare]

I hear Thai people speaking in the background haha

[@joni8768]

She looks like jesus

[@eurokid3339]

@wiwibloggs This interview isn't that way important as live performances, Conchita's time is over since 2015, now is 2017, time for this year's contestants. So show respect to us as your viewers and to the competitors and bring those performances to us! :)

[@CasqueHD]

Euro Kid some of the performances haven't been done yet while this was done before the lives shows so this was edited before the live shows were done

[@Wiwibloggs]

Thank you for understanding, Infinite. The interviews were filmed hours before the concert and sent to editors. So they uploaded this while waiting for the concert to finish. Getting these videos up requires a great deal of time, effort and expense. It's lovely when kind readers like you understand the process and its imperfections. Have a great Eurovision!

[@lindsey0806]

Euro Kid I'm still in love with Conchita so I really liked this interview.

[@cuenca2008toross]

horrybleeeeeeeeeeeeee!
