I swear, this song radiates pure James Bond opening energy. I love it.
or Lloyd Webber
Phoenix, no the bird, is Harry Potter, can rise aus Asches...
Uzbekistan, really noooo ööööööööööö Zagreb.
¡¡Oh, YES!!!
I agree💯
Probably one of the most iconic Eurovision performances EVER
Definitely
ABSOLUTELY
Not even close. But probably the best voice that contested in the Eurovision
@@jonastorm no, no and no. (to comment and replies)
@@Hi no this guy is trying to be a girl ew
Who’s here from 2024??!
sad, so sad....
U and the other gayz
The best winner❤
👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 hi! still get goosebumps when I watch the performance.
Me
I was 14 during this Eurovision, and didn't get this song at all. I was really confused why it won. But, 9 years later - it is literally one of my faves of all time. It's aged like a fiiiine wine
I got very confused when I read "9 years later".
Then I realised that 2014 was indeed 9 years ago and I'm absolutely terrified, I'm still not out of 2019
jederzeit gerne wieder, mit Atemlos druch die Nacht in jeder Form...;-)....oh das video ist von der Berliner Firma?
9 years later you realized that the other winners weren't better either.
Israel: 10 Points, oh sry ists EMA, MTV, Bambi, Romy
she deserved it !
Back then there were so many people hating this performance just because of appereance of singer, but the song, performance itself is AMAZING and you can't deny it
I think this was the whole point. To make people LISTEN to the music and judge the song itself rather then looks of an artist. And to start the conversation about people who don't conform to the "standards".
@purplerains amazing for what? a freakshow?
song is good indeed...
@@ulpszulpsz5714 that's an awful thing to say. Please be more tolerant, and educated, of how people can dress and look how they want
True. And I thought, it wouldn’t be my kind of artist at all, but I loved it actually. The song is amazing. I found it quite interesting to let go of the artist’s appearance and judge only the song and the performance, the vocal range. I wasn’t sure, if I am able to, but I was. It’s still one of my favourites on ESC.
Eurovision: You gotta move and dance around to engage the audience
Conchicta Wurst looking absolutely amazing: No. I don't think I will.
'Amazing' LMAO
@@jumpjimcrow6959 don't stress it. People like you typically age like milk and smell bad.
@@mischalecterTV I---
ur a queen
Yeah! Looking at this again, I'm surprised cuz there's absolutely no gimmicks or extras or even backup dancers/singers, they just threw Conchita on there with special stage effects, that's all
And it's just so. good! Not to say I don't love the outrageous acts
@@mischalecterTV 👏👑
This performance is 9 years old and to this day I feel a shiver down my spine watching Conchita sing.
Absolutely ❤ gorgeous
It's 2023 and i still get goosebumps everytime I listen to this song like it's the first time i listen to it. This will be forever the best and the most iconic Eurovision song!!
Same here, also brings me a few tears
it was the first esc i ever watched back then with my family. i love this song especially due to the fact that i'm Austrian
me too bro me too...
Uguale, sempre!..Pura emozione!
‘ when the music dies “ is also good one
This was 4 years ago and it feels like yesterday..gosh time flies
• Tinaa • and now it is almost a year since u wrote this comment lmao
Now is 5 years
Omg yes..
Love you.......( 2019 april and right now forking )
• Tinaa • ikr
This would be amazing as a James Bond movie song
Totally agree!
Same vibes, agree
And a good movie title, too.
Facts
Yessssss
I don't think any eurovision song can't beat this staging, performance AND THE DRAMAAAA.
I ALWAYS GET GOOSEBUMPS EVERYTIME I WATCH THIS.
Same 💕
well, Tenacious D temporarily in different areas....?! they were currentliy on some festivals in EUROPE
I swear I hated this song in 2014 because I was young and dumb (like "oh Conchita just won because of her appearance etc etc") but now I see this song as a total masterpiece, and definitly legit for the next James Bond Movie!!
Yeah, my parents did not let me watch their performance. And I felt like something is wrong with me, because I knew something was different about me. Then years later I found myself. And now looking back to this song, the performance. There was no cheating, they did not win because of the look, or being LGBTQ, they where singing from their heart, it is amazing, and I am sooo happy, that I found this song again. So powerful, meaningfull, beautiful song, and the voice is just amazing.
@@dianam.2504 You’re totally right!! Peace, Love and Devotion! Can’t wait for Eurovision 2023!! 😁🔥
I thought the same. I always thought Conchita won just because of the controversial apperiance. But today I see the performance was just perfect.
This is how bond can comeback he isn't dead with this playing in the background
your 2014 self was smarter than you are now
One of my biggest memories of attending was that the audience did not stop cheering until the next act started
must have been an elephant in a tutu!
❤❤❤❤
That is such a great add on to a beautiful performance. Xx

I'm with you bro!

GWFStevenRPlain wurst is a Sausage in Germany.
But yeah. I admire Conchita Wurst's performance.
He sang that song as strong as he could, that's what made him win . Even though hes gay, i don't really care, he is what he is, i am what I am, if i cannot respect his Personality, that means i can't respect my own self. Easy as fudge. We're all equal.

Excellent lyrics, intense voice and gorgeous dress. With or without the beard, male or female, Conchita deserved it.
Sure Conchita is male, then I agree on the rest ^-^
@@ipaziamercury9942 Well, Thomas is male. Conchita is a character- he's a drag queen. So yeah, he's not a trans woman, he's male.

@@Victor-07-04 that was glorious
В 14 лет увидел выступление по телеку и был в недоумении, кто это и почему он/она такой/такая. На следующий день я уже был в курсе.
Я до нынешнего момента не смотрел номер, и сейчас я вижу не необычную внешность, а МОНСТРУОЗНО ОФИГИСТИЧЕСКИЙ ВОКАЛ. Как можно с мужским голосом брать такие чистые ноты и ни разу не испортить их? Я поражен этим певческим мастерством!!!
ну да, чел выглядит странно, но само выступление отличное и песня красивая
Ну да, в сравнении с тем что уже было за последующие десятилетия на этом шоу, этот чел смотрится уже прям примером духовности). Кто бы мог подумать
Мое первое и единственное евровидение , смотрел тогда с бабулей в 15 лет, думал почему такой странный человек выиграл,сейчас пересмотрел и понял, ведь реально шикарный голос и понятно почему ему досталась победа
i remember being 15 and seeing this performance. i was glued to the tv. my whole family went to bed after they announced her win. i stayed to her perform one last time. i was bawling.
icon. hero. legend.
💜💜💜
I cannot imagine what a feeling this must have been. She was sure feared before and all the applause must be unbelievable. She is so wonderful
He's a male (also bearded) and he doesn't deny it (an appreciable thing), a golden dress (stunning), make up and long hair doesn't make someone a woman (substain otherwise is sexist)... Say that, it still a wonderful performance ^-^
Ipazia Mercury I just saw a Show where Conchita talked to “self” in third person and used “she”. I don’t know and don’t care which gender Conchita identifies. I am the last person who wants to restrict (or something else) someone.
Point out biological reality isn't a "restriction" (I could "identify" as a cat but not become a feline, then he could dress however he wants), with all the human respect towards Conchita (a great artist) ^-^
Then, you could believe as you want (and act consequently) ^-^
Ipazia Mercury I don’t really get what you are saying because English isn’t my mother language. I don’t know if you talk about me using “restrict” or not, I just used it because I don’t know a better word to say what I mean. I don’t think no one can be more tolerant than me. I let people live and accept everything even if they identify as a cat.
@@ipaziamercury9942 it's never a good idea to assume how someone identifies. With that being said, if someone is choosing to present in this way, to call them by male pronouns isn't wise.
If this song isn’t played at my funeral, I’m not coming.
Ok
Indeed
You better rise from your coffin during the 'RISE LIKE A PHOENIX' 😂
This had my brain burning 😂
So, it's better not to turn it on at all, and you will live forever:)

This was the last ESC I watched before i had my kids and it's still such a present memory! I can still see myself sitting in front of the TV with my jaw dropped like "where did this voice come from?" and now, 9 years later, I still get goosebumps, it was such a phenomenal performance!
Yesterday I saw some guy in The Voice Romania, his name was Sandro, and he did such an amazing version of this song that I just had to come back here and listen to Conchita once more.
This was iconic in 2014, this is also iconic in 2020 and *WILL BE FOREVER ICONIC* . Such an extravagant winner, talented singer and queen.
her beard is great too, just seems a bit weird
Meanwhile in a parallel universe where conchita is a girl trying to be a boy
He only won because of being a trans
@@BigHH88 youre a bad person
@@wallysnakes2690 what
Conchita (T. N.) has a magic voice and incredible talent! And it's not only me who admits - it's obvious!
***** What? To make it clear - Tom is NOT transsexual, and isn't even planning similar things, and he's not the only man on the Earth that doesn't like women. There are lots of people that don't have straight orientation but they can be beautiful as personalities. :). Well, I see no meaning to argue, I just said my opinion.
I can't open your mind and change your attitude, make you understand more by force but please, some more respect!..
***** as sick as you? I don't believe it. GET A shrink (as if there were a cure for you...)
Yup i figured it is way better than supporting stupidity like youself

+furetetka she.
It's a he, darling.
Unless he cuts off his dick.
Get Rekt it's an alter ego *darling* gtfo :)
+sawyers Exactly, "Conchita Wurst" is female persona, portrayed by Tom Neuwirth, who is most certainly a man. It's kinda interesting because he refers to himself using male pronouns, but talks about Conchita with female ones. In a way, both are correct, but I do think "she" makes more sense when talking about "Conchita" the persona.
Great performance. Doesn't deserve all those dislikes. People should accept differences, they make the world more interesting. Plus Conchita owned that song.
Easy on the Crack, buddy.
If we should accept these then we should accept the people who kills.it is same as conchita is male-female then killers are good-bad people so we accept the deaths.ARE Y MAD?
χρηστος παπασουλης It's not the same, you muppet.
How dumb are the replies here, honestly. You can see a blatant distinction between educated and people with low self esteem.
Sounds like someone went to Thailand and accidently had the buttsex.
Спустя десять лет слушаю и ловлю так же толпу мурашек по телу.
Das ist so eins dieser ESC Lieder das entweder den ersten oder den allerletzten Platz belegt, nichts dazwischen. Conchita, ich verneige mich vor dir und dieser Performance (2024 immer noch!!!).

Don't think I've ever heard a live performance performed so close to a studio version. The win was so well deserved.
Actually just listened to the studio version and there's one tiny detail I actually prefer in the live performance, at 2:25 she pauses just a fraction of a second longer which imo works better
У меня мурашки от этой песни. Мне все равно, как выглядит исполнитель, это его личное дело. Спасибо за такую прекрасную песню! Крылья расправляются, когда слушаешь!❤

+james hartley Because james bond has good taste about women and wouldn't like a bearded one, like all of us normally
it's not homophobic to be straigh, despite all the hormones and the surgery he had he's a man.
if he wants to be a woman no problem it's his life, but accepting homosexuality for others is different than promoting it and saying little kids who hasn't discovered sexuality yet, that it's ok to have your dick removed and the face feminised by surgery (or worse to say that this the march of social progress)
television made enough damage with young girls who now wants to weight no more than 80 pounds, and ask their parents for face operations at 10 years old, or take miley cirus as an example
this is satanic manipulation
When I look at her I see beauty and courage. This performance is an act of art and sophistication. Austrians should feel proud!
Her?
@@Brezavocalart well … its ✨ complicated ✨😹
When I first heard Conchita doing this number I was bowled over by the powerful vocal - I couldn't believe it! I even bought the album. I still get a thrill listening to the phoenix. Bravo Conchita!

Sugar, Sugar Robin Schulz, hm der liegende Buddha von Thaliland mit Sirkit und bhumipol? eher Hermine, beitte
For what it's worth, I'm a christian straight guy, but I strongly support Conchita's cause. You do it your way, I'll do mine and everyone should find his own way of being comfortable and satisfied. We're really all different in our single way, but at the same time we're all the same kind: humans. No one wants to be excluded or judged... it causes hurts and it's not fair to people who mean no wrong. And as simple as it sounds, just love each other, it's a God-given gift we humans should put more to practice. So congrats Conchita, RESPECT!
It's lovely to see a comment from an open-minded and kind Christian! Too many bigots sour the face of religion with homo/transphobia.
Amen!
Coming back to this in 2022 and yep, still my favorite Eurovision performance EVER.
All these years later and people still don’t get it “conchita is a character” …. And a beautiful one at that … this is the best performance EVER at Eurovision !!! Don’t like it don’t listen /watch there’s millions that love her and always will … Thankyou Conchita this song and “Hit me “ saved my life ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Such a great performance. This kind of talent is hard to find nowadays. A clear winner!
Best James Bond's song ever.
I second that!
yep
XDD thought the same
It wasn’t actually in a James Bond film and because it came out a few years back I don’t think it’s going to be and bond 25 so it would’ve been good as a James Bond soundtrack but I don’t think it ever will be sadly
Jurjen de Boer I don’t think so tbh
One of the best of Eurovision

It's not just the vocal skills, it's the power of her message. This is HER song, and she embodies it from the deepest bit of her heart. You can only deliver a performance like this when you mean what you are saying and you're feeling it as a statement of what you are.

So I clicked on 33 a mins long interview of her thinking "I'll only see 2 mins", but she turned out to be the most awesome person in the world!!! I finished the whole interview and searched for others!! So thank you conchita for teaching me not judge by the surface and that everyone is a beautiful human inside
Good for you. I used to think transgendered people were just way fucked-up but then I actually met and worked with a few. After asking lots of questions of them and learning who they were as just people and why they made the decision they made, well I just learned to accept it and even understand why they made that choice. Actually one of them became one of my best friends and I love him dearly.
More people should take the time to get to know others before judging them. So happy you did, one less hateful person in the world(:
Marcus Inurcamp excuse me? What does tel aviv has to do with anything?
It's good that you changed your mind, but it was very wrong of you to initially think "disgusting creature, they must die". I understand that you were shocked, but that was the intention. You can't make changement without creating a shock.

good evening from Germany, this song is great! In your face Putin :D
Then they should make a radio version. It's not that simple, but he/she convinced you not to give a shit on principles.
Totally agree, dude. This song is fucking great! Can't wait for the next year show ;D Greetings from Spain!
I love everything about this performance but the way Conchita says thank you at the end really touched me. What a star!

One of my earlierst memories of Eurovision was watching this and how it won. And as an Austrian, that makes it even better.
"Rise Like A Phoenix"
Waking in the rubble
Walking over glass
Neighbors say we're trouble
Well that time has passed
Peering from the mirror
No, that isn't me
Stranger getting nearer
Who can this person be
You wouldnt know me at all today
From the fading light I fly
Rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes
Seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution
You were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I'm reborn
You know I will rise like a phoenix
But you're my flame
Go about your business
Act as if you're free
No one could have witnessed
What you did to me
Cause you wouldn't know me today
And you have got to see
To believe
From the fading light I fly
Rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes
Seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution
You were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I'm reborn
I rise up to the sky
You threw me down but
I'm gonna fly
And rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes
Seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution
You were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I'm reborn
You know I will rise like a phoenix
But you're my flame

The performance was AMAZING, and so is Conchita. I think Austria can possibly win. The cheers from the audience have never been that loud. Best of luck, from Sweden!
Hmmm in the greek participation the audience was much better!RISE UP
I'm not sure if the response of the audience is a real indicator of success in eurovision. Isn't it probable that a lot of people who are present at the live shows come from (for example) neighboring countries of Denmark? I think this can have a huge influence on the way the audience responds, as not every culture is as "open" towards Conchita's act. This being said, I really hope she'll do well in the competition!
DAFAF FAFAF Well Greece always has a lot of fans despite often sending mediocre songs, and up tempo songs always get the audience screaming and clapping more than ballads.
DAFAF FAFAF I love Greece, they put on a great performance! It's in my top 5 :)
Elisabeth Abraham Yes, that's true. I was just stating that, because I thought it was really beautiful that the audience accepted Conchita :) I still think she has a good chance at winning. However it's really hard to say which song will win, because there a a couple songs that also have a great chance.
just watched this again after a long time and I am absolutely blown away. I Still get goosebumps
The fact this got so many high votes from countries where lgbt rights are few was one of the most amazing Eurovision moments
because this is Europe
She is FLAWLESS!
1st listen: Is he a woman or a man?
2nd listen: Hm... Do i like this song?
3rd listen: RIIIIIIIIISE LIKE A PHOENIX!
He is GAY
@@AdminReyiz lmao I had no idea
He copied someone content
Obviously he is a cis man. This is drag, performance, show, work of art. Although, of course, also man can and do use make up, lipstick, shoes with high heals, wigs, artificial eyelashes, everyone can do it. If that’s what cause confusion.
He consider himself as a man , that's just how he dresses.
It’s honestly nice seeing how many people have back to this song in this years following this song to show how much they’ve changed as people and I just wanted to say I’m really proud of you ❤❤
I was sending work emails (on a Saturday night - sad I know). This happened to be on in the background, but hearing the song I had to look up and was transfixed. Had to watch the rest of the contest just to see how this wonderful singer and song did, and was so pleased when she won. A beautiful song, a wonderful performance, and Conchita was so humble and delighted by the response from the audience. A truly uplifting event.
Who is here after the 2019 contest
Queen❤️
Nostalgie)))
We want Conchita back in 2020 eurovision
Mee
Meeeee , I'm here becuase 2019 was boring so I wanna look at past good ones
This is the perfect example that you dont need fancy dancers when your song is just so good
You just need to be a girl with a beard and a penis :)
Searched about him and found this video after hearing the cover by Sandro Machado from "The Voice-Romania"... GOSH! First time knowing and watching him, he's incredible!!! Great song and lyrics, a much-deserved win! 👋👍❤ The stage's backdrop is also amazing and fits the song 👍👌
The Queen of the Eurovision Song Contest. 👑
King
@@user-zl8zj8sc9h She's a drag queen hunni
@@andim4095He’s*
wow, she's amazing
she? are u sure?
man? are yu sure?
zs9 thanks i'm from austria :D
Zaly Channel yes sure
Emily Holzmann she is who she wants to be
Can everyone just shut up about Conchita's sexuality? It's a great song, and it's shouldn't matter if she's male or female.
(Yes, I am using a female pronoun. As Conchita, the performer is a she. Off stage, it's a he named Tom. I hope that's clear now, so we can all enjoy the fucking song without some bigot saying she only won because she has a beard(?))
This semi-final version is absolutely the best!
My favorite Eurovison song!
גם עליי
I remember watching this as a little gay boy and being worried that if I liked it, people might find out I was gay.... now all I can think it that this song is great and Conchita genuinely looks gorgeous 👏🏻 such a great voice!
Oh nice! I'm from Spain and you?
Wtf i Just read...why gay Just why
Νικος Μουστακαλης some people are gay, Karen
Ha Gaay

This song is soo epic. Conchita is one of the most iconic singers of Eurovision history.
🇷🇴👍🇦🇹
True dat
Пиздец😟
The most you mean.
Да, она хороша. Номер великолепный
So extremely proud to be Austrian! I was only 4 years old bud now I realise how amazing concita actually is. It gives me still goosebumps. Fully deserved win
You were 4 when this came out? God damn I'm old:(
I cannot believe that voice. She's incredible. The most common word in the comments is "goosebumps" and it's clear why!
I am from country where is this song and her/his performance very scandalous. Some people think the Eurovision went down from the hill because they saw or heard this song. I think this song is something which somebody of us need in their life. This song is about confidence and believing in ourselves I think. This message is very important. We must stop judge other people because they look very different. We must change our minds and accept that everyone of us is unique just the way they are.
Yes indeed. And I beg you, princess, to use your magic to change this outdated mindset in your country. 😊
❤❤
I did not know that Czech was that homophobic. I thought gays in Praha is widely accepted?
Sers wie geht's
I agree!
2:25 this part gives me chills everytime
Sameee
Same. Goosebumps all over
same
X2
Yes because it's the chorus
Continues to be one of the most beautiful songs and one of the most beautiful performances! ❣️
He just stands there and sings incredibly well - his voice is out of space ❤ deserved to win! That was one of the best performances in the entire ESC history
