Interview with Conchita Wurst (second part) - Austria 2014

Powered by www.eurovision.tv
Here is the second part of our interview with Conchita Wurst.
The Austrian public broadcaster ORF has confirmed that Conchita Wurst has been internally chosen to represent the Central European country in Copenhagen. The song is yet to be chosen. Conchita Wurst, whose real name is Tom Neuwirth, has already participated in the 2012 national final, where she came second.
While the last three representatives of Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest have all been selected in a public national final, ORF have opted for an internal selection procedure for 2014. Today, the singer to represent the "Alpine republic" has been announced.
Conchita Wurst has already once tried to win the ticket to the Eurovision stage, in 2012, when she came second with the song That's What I Am behind Trackshittaz in the Austrian national selection. Previously she had participated in the "Starmania" talent show, where she competed against Nadine Beiler, the Austrian representative in the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest.

i am from austria and i am proud, that our country send her to the esc. She is a symbol for integration and against homophobic. And her voice is amazing... ♥

[@Lynxes21]

Her voice is amazing! So far all the songs this year aren't good, I hope Conchita can change that!

[@IMakeVideosToYou]

Its a guy his name is Thomas...

[@Lynxes21]

I am aware but he is playing a character who is a woman.. tbh I want to be polite but I don't really know what gender to call him/her. I am sorry if that came off bad.

[@PeaceVlogS]

"Oh thanks for embarrassing me!" That made me crack up. I wish her the best! Good luck Conchita!

[@SanBeanzie]

Practically Kim Kardshian with a beard. But really, I'm very much looking forward to Austria's entry this year!! Conchita can sing and we need more drag acts. Austria should be proud!! :) Good luck!!.

[@AvyBuecel]

Oh, Is this the second drag after Verka? Anyway, This's gonna be amazing.

[@Imp1981]

Avy Buecel It's the third drag act. In Verkas year was Danish Drama Queen too, but it didn't qualify from the semi. I hope Conchita won't do the same mistakes Drama Queen did.

[@raenej4634]

After watching her interviews, I have decided that I love her

[@SilverStrumer]

I dunno. Austria might get 0 points guaranteed from Russia and other conservative countries but anyways good luck! I'm just happy Austria's still participating in the contest.

[@anikaoberholtzer4444]

She won!!!!!!!! Im so happy!!!!!!!!

[@TheTutorialsHelper]

why Austria why not a normal singer Grettings from Vienna

[@Grifit]

Because normal doesn't win Eurovsion and Conchita is an AWESOME singer, that's why

[@mangavisionx173]

this is normal, get used to it....

[@SilverStrumer]

They probably couldn't afford to host another song selection. Last year they spent a lot of money but Austria still didn't qualify for grand-finals. So now they're gonna try a different approach.

[@zipeezipp]

SilverStrumer Interesting approach Austria.... WTF

[@MrTizgo]

He's locked in my flat " ahahaha love it !!!! Conchita is fabulous

[@maverick_7642]

WHAT the hell is that?

[@honeyygutz]

A human being with emotions, just as you are. Don't be rude.

[@maverick_7642]

Elliot Stider I'm not an human being actually.

[@GegeGtHun]

I'm completely fed up that I see everywhere "you MUST like this, you f*cking homophobic!" Where is tolerance, recpect now? Tolerate my opinion, too! My opinion is that it's disgusting, repugnant, abnormal! 0 point from me. Now don't write bad things to me, show toleration to my opinion, and respect it quietly!

[@gueche87]

I love her!!! I am a big fan from Mexico!!!!! Bravo Conchita!!!

[@JeffreyMusicB]

I'm scared...

[@Nicknameneo]

Wow great personality. Very funny and a good message. Unfortunately still necessarily in this time of age.

[@AndyRumbaut]

She's great!

[@Vogue1306]

See beyond the cover people!!! I believe shes amazing!

[@JackVitara]

Good talent.... Conchita, my best wishes for you, from Venezuela

[@jujomue]

Conchita is such a great singer and I wish her all the best for the Eurovision Song Contest! :) I don't understand why there are such rude and homophobic comments here. Really WHY? ! . The Song Contest is about the MUSIC and she's a great musician. VIEL GLÜCK !! GOOD LUCK ♥♥

[@GlouseMars]

She is really funny and I liked the song. Maybe not a winning song, but final top 10 song for sure

[@jingjing5102]

This is Austria! 1989 & 1991 Thomas Forstner, 2003 Alf Poier and 2014 Conchitta Wurst!

[@AnnaleaOfficial]

She is awesome, and obviously passionate about music and the contest. People need to shut up about everything else.

[@CrazySpyMonkey]

*He

[@AnnaleaOfficial]

CrazySpyMonkey I wrote 'she' because that's what they're referred to as in the description.

[@NaokiSummoner]

CrazySpyMonkey No, she.

[@Wongotouna]

Gooooooooo austria!!! She looks so nice.

[@vasiliikirillov]

У Тома очень хорошие вокальные данные. Спеть в нормальном образе и будет фаворитом.

[@andrewic]

Образ у него просто непривычный ... Бояре тоже сопротивлялись трусы носить !))) ... теперь - норма и никого это не беспокоит

[@TheKletzenbrot]

Some comments here are so damn intolerant! Why are you posting things like "I'm scared of IT"? Bitches, we have 2014, and you all should respect people like Conchita! What's wrong with some people here?? I really don't know and understand, why you can be so mean and discriminating! It's a beautiful song and she is a beautiful singer! Stop discussing about her beard! It's meant to be a beard there, because she wants to show that we shall respect everyone! Even homosexual people! What's wrong, when you are homosexual?? I'll tell you: Nothing! Because she wants to show everyone that it's good, when you are different. And nowadays it's cool to be a hipster or sth, then why isn't she also cool and why are some people just hating at her?? I don't and won't understand! Hopefully, she wins this contest! Good Luck!

[@colemine23]

The aliens have invaded AarrrrrrrrrrrrHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

[@Themasterofikariam]

Nightmare fuel

[@krislion]

Very nice interview . Love Conchita!!

[@TashaKoenig]

I'm so confused. She is trying to be a male named Tom Neuwirth? why...

[@DesmondSky]

XD

[@iyawakarehen]

She is Tom Neuwirth's drag persona. Tom is a civilian person while Conchita is his showtime character.

[@dovydasmartonis8501]

kids are watching eurovision song contest why u letting something like that into this contest?!! i'm sorry if i'm rude but think about kids!

[@Nicknameneo]

If you want to raise your kids as narrow minded people. Fine by me. It is a free world. So if you dont want them to see it. Turn of the tv. As simple as that.

[@kkkkkkkkk5975]

OMG "if i'm rude" XDXD

[@AfroLisa]

what the fuck!?

[@boeboe14]

not to be rude or anything but, does that lovely woman have a beard?

[@khrisstkammi]

it's a fake beard?

[@DesmondSky]

He might not look that nice lol but you cant say that he cant sing :)

[@stelllou.6740]

WHAT THE FUCK IS HE OR SHE?

[@7angelinaanges7]

Ααχαχαχαχαχ κλαιω 😂😂😂😂

[@RaymondStudio]

Que se corte la barba xd ajajjaaj

[@Cvebo555]

WTF did I just see?!? Barbie with a beard? >.

[@AvyBuecel]

I guess she's funny.

[@almaragevorgian1040]

It is boy or girl???

[@Lau111213]

Is that a boy or a Girl?

[@MrGrant7778]

Плохо то, что мне понравится как он выступит

[@sabmis2658]

So confused while watching her.. :(

[@ismailyuksekdag4146]

What the. Fuck..!!

[@andrewic]

♥

[@MorganmTadhg]

im confused. i dont mean to sound horrible but genuinely is this a boy or girl, that beard looks odd

[@bobbysippy9703]

Michael Jackson + Prince = Conchita Wurst (not related to singing)

[@dalia_aaa]

WTF!!!

[@xpixiewolfx]

I get the drag persona... but why the beard? o.o

[@user-zk5zt7ku9y]

OMG!

[@juliefoster5356]

No offence but is she meant to have a beard, someone tell me...

[@juliefoster5356]

Oh ok, sorry if I offended anyone =)

[@christi98n]

(y)

[@MusicMarkTV]

BIG DISLIKE!!!

[@arcelivez]

OMG... :(

[@Dimitrischtz]

I still haven't understand..Has he come under a surgery? What are his genitals? :P Not that it matters but I'm just too curious

[@blockvoting]

The person behind Conchita identifies as a man, and Conchita is his drag queen persona.

[@sianmariecain2467]

Not exactley a castrato!

[@EgyptianKhedive]

WTF is that

[@Vlad123723]

Good voice, but his face....!!!!!

[@meryembucak4684]

Omg

[@hrachharutyunyan6984]

0 point from Armenia !!

[@ManchelME]

I do not have any problem with gay or lesbian people. The opposite, I am in favor of expressing what your sexual orientations are. But what exactly he/she is being considered, people?! Not even a normal transexual! Sorry to say that but that's beyond me! And that doesn't mean that I am homophobic...bullshits(!) I just cannot understand the nature of that person! Why on earth keep the beard!?

[@blockvoting]

conchita is a drag queen person. outside of conchita, tom is a man. it's not hard to understand unless you are simple.

[@ManchelME]

I may acccept that, then! ;)

[@alexds9]

Don't get the black color in place of beard. Girl, you need to take bath sometime.

[@themarquess]

Too much make-up ;)

[@ingezengers1214]
