A few weeks ago when I first started listening to this years entries on youtube, I was a bit taken back with the beard at first. But fuck it, i'm so over it. Like she says, it's just a little facial hair. It actually suits her and she's amazing with a great voice who deserved to win.
***** Life is expressing itself my friend, this is the result of an eternity, there's reason for everything if you're willing to find the root :) Besides, I'm sure you aren't going to find much else in the eurovision than that which most of us would class as being 'silly', that is pretty much the point ;)
'It's not about the colour of your skin, it's not about where you're from. if you want to be a bearded lady, you're allowed to do that because i'm not hurting anyone and that's the thing. if you're not hurting anyone, you can do whatever you want with your life...' - Conchita Wurst 2014
Some people in these comments are the exact reason why a lot of people dosnt want to show their real selves, because of the judgemental attitude. Conchita here sounds like an awesome person, and (s)he is fucking brave. I can only have the deepest respect for that.
How can anyone hate someone so nice? She's super nice and polite! I am glad that she got the title she deserved. Wonderful song, wonderful voice and wonderful human-being.
Wow she is just stunning!! Who knew a bearded lady could be so stunning looking. Its a great message for people to be themselves no matter what people think!!! GO CONCHITA :o)
What people fail to see is that Conchita Wurst is a character, an alter ego. When people go on about "think about the children!" they simply forget that kids are more open minded, not yet molded by closed adult minds, and probably see Conchita as a performance of fun. That's what my 10 and 5 year old nephew and niece did. All you need to do is tell them that "it's just a show". I'd be more worried about showing the Polish titfest to kids. People also seem forget that she's really a man, with a beard. Make a fuss about the hair, dress and make up instead, if you must. I adore Conchita and what she does to bits. Such elegance and dignity that many other "real women" on the stage couldn't reach! Love, respect and tolerance!
As long as I refer to him as Conchita, it's a she. The kids don't have know the "shell sausage" meaning of the name, nor were they interested in what the name meant in the first place. All they saw is a man dressed up as a woman while keeping a beard, no big deal.
Hybridancer You have no idea how much I agree with the "titfest" comment. But, well, it did work the way it was supposed to - after 8 years, Poland qualified to the finals! Of course, the fact that we send those dancing girls precisely because they were, to put it mildly, "well endowed" didn't stop some of the celebrities/politics/journalists/and internet haters to accuse Conchita of using his looks to "guarantee himself" the victory. Right wing politicians and some internet haters seem to be especially hysterical but I guess it was to be expected. And if you are worried about the "We are slavic" clip, I wonder what would you say about the new (and much worse, I assure you) clip, "Slavica". Words can simply not describe how awful the video is :P
Вад Вадим I don't know much about this person but I think he likes to be regarded as "she" when he's on his drag persona and he's back to be being a guy when he's not performing. I don't know I could be wrong.
She is so incredibly well spoken and so positive and wonderful, what a well deserved win! And such a shame that so few people are getting the message of acceptance and tolerance for your fellow human beings that Conchita is spreading in this video (did you even watch it?!) Who is she hurting? None of you. Crawl back under your rocks.
I think people who post negative comments here ... Clearly are missing the point, live and let live, it's inspiring to see someone who has the ability to be whatever he wants to be ... Many people so scared to express themselves and be real. Good for you Conchita!
I don't think everyone who thought the beard was awkward is homophobic or something. We were raised in a society that teaches us that a woman having a beard is something completely wrong and inconceivable. I'm glad she's doing it though,so we can learn to accept the differences and the new world,like we should.
It's not taught it is wrong... because girls don't have beards. It's not normal, and that's why people freak out. Can't you tell HE's a man?, how can you let a man represent women? We men wouldn't like a woman speaking for us. It's insanity.
I love her, she's so talented, so gifted and so outgoing! She's also got a marvellous personality something which is really difficult to find among many men and women as well.
People seem to forget that in the 90s a drag queen won Eurovision and no one cared. I don't see how this is different. if I don't like something, I just change the channel. It's that simple.
She. is. absolutely. BEAUTIFUL !! Her voice, her eyes, her hair, she's so sweet and funny ! #Yourefabulous Love that guy ! She is an amazing human being and a really talented person, whatever haterz say =) ♥
Conchita is such a sweetheart. She deals with the awkward questions regarding her appearance very well and is extremely gracious. Also, props to the head interviewer for directing the others towards more substantial questions...
I just love her and a great example for everyone who is afraid of what others might think of them. Step out of your box and let people see who you really are!!!
That guy at the seventh minute, was he aiming to make a joke about if Conchita is able to find female shoes in male sizes? But he made it sound like he was gonna ask if she has a dick. How embarrassing, also ignorant because obviously shoes come in all sizes and drag queens have been doing it for decades. I love that host though, and Conchita is so classy. Luckily the questions after that were positive.
What speaks to me more is Wurst's attitude and response. She is so calm, collected, and friendly with her words. That is what will break down barriers. I'm sick of the hateful words from BOTH sides of opinions. Hate and anger will not win an argument and change people for the better. When has it, ever? Yes a bearded lady is strange to see but seriously, I'm more concerned about what is on the inside. So far, I'm wanting to get to know Wurst more and about her character because she seems caring.
"Do what thou wilt shall be the Whole of the Law. Love is the Law, Love under Will." More power to you, Conchita! What a fantastic voice and she comes off as down to earth and sweet above all, as well as speaking better English than the average American can these days. All the best!
Whwt is wrobg with all of you?! He is amazing and should be praised for being who he wats to be! You should all be ashamed of yourselfs for hating Conchita Wurst
Judging from the way he talks about his whole bearded lady ordeal it seems he himself finds it ridiculous and odd, but there's a message he wants to get across: do not be afraid of being different and showing who you are. That includes whatever ethnicity, sexuality, appearance thing, whatever. If your difference is not harmful, then it should be okay. He's aiming for more tolerance in people, which many commenters in this page really lack. I know it's odd, but what's in it to you?
it's not stupid. Honestly, you may not like the way she looks, I mean its not my thing. But she doesn't make me uncomfortable. Some guys are disgusted by looking at her, because they have mixed feelings, "she has a nice body but then ruins it with the beard" said one of my male friends. Truthfully, I believe if she's not hurting anyone, then leave her be. No one has the right to tell another person who to live their lives, when no one in the process is getting hurt.
Of course not, but don't tell me that disliking his image makes anyone a hateful person or a homophobic one. You people don't know what tolerance means, over the years the meaning of tolerance was seriously distorted. And about the mixed feelings of your friends, that's very interesting but honestly non of mine said she's cute or even pleasing to watch so don't speak for all the men in the world, trust me they will not agree with your statement.
O.M.G she's so beautiful no matter what other people's said...YOU GO CONCHITA WURST...I'm sending LOVE,RESPECT n HUGS plus KISSES 4 U...PEACE n Greeting from Indonesia but I lives in Hongkong. MAY 2014
Is a shame read comments with so little tolerance. She is happy being in the way she is, the character carries a message and people are so dumb and not see beyond a mere superficiality. Well Conchita continue in that way and take your message to change the minds so closed and don't have capability to understand the people who are different!
She is so nice person, so sweet human beeing. And i think she is very strong personality because differejnt people must be strong and ready for bad moments.
For god sake stop calling her names she's a fabulous diva she won the Eurovision of this year and there's nothing anybody can do about it talent is talent so all haters f..k o.f get a life Live and let live!
I honestly love her! I love her make up! She is a wonderful, inspiring person! Honestly! I dont understand why people are complaining about ONE physical characteristic -- which happens to be the beard??? First of all, Let us be in awe with her, for her, for the hard work and her dreams, no for her appearance (that should be in second).
I'm glad she was able, thanks to her participation to the contest, to deliver her message. I'd be even more glad to consider the fact that she won for her great talent (which is quite noticeable to me) and not just for who she is. That would mean we're a step beyond the usual politically correct. Aside from that, congratz to Conchita! :-).
wow, powerful conversation. came because I was intrigued by conchita and her wonderful performance, gained a lot of respect for her and the message she is giving. also couldn't help but chuckle a little at that man's desperate attempts to sound unprejudiced with his shoes question. felt a little bad for him blushing and tripping over "shoes! I mean, shoes!" although it's too bad that he couldn't hear her out on what she was trying to say and then explain
I just find it laughable how much hate you have for her. She literally said it in this video, that she created this persona to show that you can do whatever you want, as long as you're not hurting anyone. That it doesn't matter, that it's just a little bit of facial hair. She is an incredible role model and i really hope she wins. And not just because she casually just fucks with all the gender roles and heteronormes, but because she is an incredible singer too.
All the comments saying Conchita is a freak and is not human should just go live on another planet because here they aren't wanted...gtfo conchita is stunning
It's so bad that there are so many horrible comments about Conchita when it takes away from the beautiful song. Why pay so much attention to something that does not affect or harm anyone? A person is a person ~
To all haters and those who judge her, all I can say is that you can't change every people in the world, so don't do it. He is unbelievably gifted and talented young artist who stands up what he believes in and in my opinion it is amazing! Can you tell to yourself that you can do it too? If you really don't like what other people or Chonchita is doing then why are you wasting your time and energy to watch it and then write all these mean words?! I am sorry but I just don't get it, better do and watch what you like and try to be kind to everyone, BE POSITIVE! You'll see your life will be better and you will be happier too. All I wanted to say is that he seems like very nice person with such a beautiful voice and heart, and that who he is and how lives is only HIS choice, not yours! :)
Conchita is the embodiment of love and tolerance. Hate just poisons your mind and slowly eats you from inside and you end up being hollow and bitter. MAKE LOVE NOT HATE.
A few weeks ago when I first started listening to this years entries on youtube, I was a bit taken back with the beard at first. But fuck it, i'm so over it. Like she says, it's just a little facial hair. It actually suits her and she's amazing with a great voice who deserved to win.
***** If that's what she prefers to go by, then yeah why not.
***** Life is expressing itself my friend, this is the result of an eternity, there's reason for everything if you're willing to find the root :) Besides, I'm sure you aren't going to find much else in the eurovision than that which most of us would class as being 'silly', that is pretty much the point ;)
What a fabulous human being Conchita is!

With more love and less hate the world is becoming a better place. Thank you Conchita for everything you bring.

CONCHITA YOU'RE THE BEST AND YOU"RE THE TRUE WINNER...
His voice...the song and what he said on this interview. Conchita is pure TALENT
You Queen! Just won Eurovision in one swoop! Just love her and everything she does. Great winner this year! Austria 2015... sounds good!
Conchita is so sweet and talented, how can anybody possibly dislike her?
I love Conchita's eyes! That eyeliner really does them good
Wow she is just stunning!! Who knew a bearded lady could be so stunning looking. Its a great message for people to be themselves no matter what people think!!! GO CONCHITA :o)
Thinking the same as you
(Y)
What people fail to see is that Conchita Wurst is a character, an alter ego. When people go on about "think about the children!" they simply forget that kids are more open minded, not yet molded by closed adult minds, and probably see Conchita as a performance of fun. That's what my 10 and 5 year old nephew and niece did. All you need to do is tell them that "it's just a show". I'd be more worried about showing the Polish titfest to kids.

***** 10 points...from me
I agree about the titfest. THAT performance was what disgusted me. Conchita sang her song like any contestant.
Some beautiful words this wonderful human being said, that we should all listen to.. Live with your mind opened!
SHE is the cutest friendliest human in the WORLD! And that counts - nothing else!
I LOVE CONCHITA!
He is so handsome.
I'm sorry *she
Вад Вадим I don't know much about this person but I think he likes to be regarded as "she" when he's on his drag persona and he's back to be being a guy when he's not performing. I don't know I could be wrong.
Mateusz Dawicki *She
***** I think you're right and it's very sensitive and nice of you to get this detail...
Francesca Tosolini Thank you. That is kind of you to say.
If this guy is feeling happy being "girly" nobody shoud threw him stones for being himself and brave enough to dare being so sincere.
Conchita Wurst is Simply the Best!!!
She's a wonderful woman and I love her song. Please come to Malaysia! I can't wait to see you.
She is so incredibly well spoken and so positive and wonderful, what a well deserved win! And such a shame that so few people are getting the message of acceptance and tolerance for your fellow human beings that Conchita is spreading in this video (did you even watch it?!)

What a beautiful soul. It's so sad that people are so cruel and heartless... they don't recognise true beauty when they see it...
what an amazing human heart
I don't think everyone who thought the beard was awkward is homophobic or something. We were raised in a society that teaches us that a woman having a beard is something completely wrong and inconceivable. I'm glad she's doing it though,so we can learn to accept the differences and the new world,like we should.
Tom Adams It once was considered as such.... back in the dark ages. Which obviously some people seem to still live in.
My point precisely. It died out when people realised there was no science behind it - just bigotry.
Satan is fictional. He doesn't exist anymore than Harry Potter does. Go back to your cave
It's not taught it is wrong... because girls don't have beards. It's not normal, and that's why people freak out.
Can't you tell HE's a man?, how can you let a man represent women? We men wouldn't like a woman speaking for us. It's insanity.
Oh my God, he is just lovely and charming. I didn't even know that he's so full of some kind of positive energy.
The interviewer is so unbeliavable professional... she's great... really good job...
wow...
Very talented person. The song is truelly beautiful. Good luck in the competition!
She has an amazing smile!
Its a guy stop getting turned on by him...
Yes I know, Drag Queens want to be called females so I treat her as a female.
I love her, she's so talented, so gifted and so outgoing! She's also got a marvellous personality something which is really difficult to find among many men and women as well.
Fantastic interview
conchita is epic!
she is so gooooooood
Looks like the ascended master Jesus , Bless you Conchita , you have a wonderful soul XX
People seem to forget that in the 90s a drag queen won Eurovision and no one cared. I don't see how this is different. if I don't like something, I just change the channel. It's that simple.
If you are referring to the Israeli victory in 1998, you're mistaken. Dana International wasn't a drag queen, she was a transsexual woman.
All I can do is laugh. Have a nice life.
she is so adorable ^_^
I start to like her even more. Very smart!
Fabulous Conchita ! We love you in France
OMG how cuuute ♥♥♥
disgusting
Luan Shala Yes, you're disgusting .
She. is. absolutely. BEAUTIFUL !! Her voice, her eyes, her hair, she's so sweet and funny ! #Yourefabulous Love that guy ! She is an amazing human being and a really talented person, whatever haterz say =) ♥

Conchita is a lovely person, and beautiful singer, and an effulgent soul.
That guy at the seventh minute, was he aiming to make a joke about if Conchita is able to find female shoes in male sizes? But he made it sound like he was gonna ask if she has a dick. How embarrassing, also ignorant because obviously shoes come in all sizes and drag queens have been doing it for decades.
I love that host though, and Conchita is so classy. Luckily the questions after that were positive.
yeah , he almost said dick but he changed it quickly .
Grande Conchita!! for me the best performance of the night!!! congratulations from Spain!!!

''He apologised and thats fine for me"
Omg I love you guuurl ♥
I feel sorry for the guy that's asking a question on 7:03.. but it is just SO hilarious :')
did he want to ask: " do you have aääh, do you have aaaah.... penis?"
some said before: the asking guy @ 7:03 is a comedian, who just wanted to be funny...
funkjoker70 He is from Denmark and He is not a comedian
jesper nielsen kanstrup come on, that means he meant that seriously?
does he have a shoe fetish? ;)
hehehehe
Conchita i love you !!!! How could anyone hate someone with a smile and humor and a big heart as yours ?!?!
she is so brave! she shows the equality of ALL people! She should be an example for all!
Whwt is wrobg with all of you?! He is amazing and should be praised for being who he wats to be! You should all be ashamed of yourselfs for hating Conchita Wurst
European song freakshow!
Conchita you awesome.

Such a lovely, warm hearted person!
I love how some of you are so insecure with your sexualities that, only just by looking at her, it makes you THAT uncomfortable.
What a delightfully stupid remark
it's not stupid. Honestly, you may not like the way she looks, I mean its not my thing. But she doesn't make me uncomfortable. Some guys are disgusted by looking at her, because they have mixed feelings, "she has a nice body but then ruins it with the beard" said one of my male friends.

Wow. She's really charming and patient with the open, frank questions she's getting. And her legs are amazing.
She is so nice person, so sweet human beeing. And i think she is very strong personality because differejnt people must be strong and ready for bad moments.
It is a very inspirational interview!
Conchita is so amazing everything she says is so smart and funny and she's such a beauty. She just brings a smile to my face Love you Conchita!

love her !!
I honestly love her! I love her make up! She is a wonderful, inspiring person! Honestly! I dont understand why people are complaining about ONE physical characteristic -- which happens to be the beard??? First of all, Let us be in awe with her, for her, for the hard work and her dreams, no for her appearance (that should be in second).
I'm glad she was able, thanks to her participation to the contest, to deliver her message. I'd be even more glad to consider the fact that she won for her great talent (which is quite noticeable to me) and not just for who she is. That would mean we're a step beyond the usual politically correct.
Aside from that, congratz to Conchita! :-).
You're so sweet and wise Conchita :, ) I admire you
wow, powerful conversation. came because I was intrigued by conchita and her wonderful performance, gained a lot of respect for her and the message she is giving. also couldn't help but chuckle a little at that man's desperate attempts to sound unprejudiced with his shoes question. felt a little bad for him blushing and tripping over "shoes!

Conchita you are brave you are showing the world that you can be anyone you want good job :)

She's so fabulous! Love her!
He's only 25!!! Stop hating him, he hasn't done any harm to anyone!!!

No matter who she/he is. S/he is stunning.
KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!
Conchita is the embodiment of love and tolerance. Hate just poisons your mind and slowly eats you from inside and you end up being hollow and bitter. MAKE LOVE NOT HATE.
If there were more people like Conchita, the world would be a better place
I just love that he/she has the guts do do something like that! Fuck the haters!
