Conchita Wurst asal Austria
memenangi pertandingan bernyanyi Eurovision 2014 yang diadakan di Copenhagen,
Denmark, Sabtu 10/5/2014 malam.
Conchita merebut perhatian dengan sosoknya yang unik. Conchita adalah seorang waria dengan wajahnya ditumbuhi kumis dan janggut.
Kehadiran
Conchita, yang bernama asli Thomas Neuwirth, di Eurovision juga telah
menuai kritikan. Banyak orang yang menyebut pertandingan tersebut sebagai
"cikal bakal sodomi".
"Malam ini saya dedikasikan untuk mereka
yang percaya pada masa depan yang penuh kedamaian dan kebebasan. Anda
tahu siapa diri anda. Kita adalah satu dan tak terhentikan," ujar
Conchita seperti dikutip Tribunnews.com dari BBC.co.uk.
Conchita berhasil merebut 290 point dengan lagunya "Rise Like a Phoenix".
Adapun tempat kedua dimenangi Belanda dengan 238 point, disusul Sweden dengan 218 point.
'You know, I have a very thick skin. It's just strange that a little facial hair causes that much excitement.'
Speaking ahead of the semifinal in Copenhagen on Thursday, she added: 'I have to add that 80 percent of the autograph requests that I get are from Russia and eastern Europe — and that's what is important to me'.
Neuwirth, who was born in Gmunden, central Austria, entered show business eight years ago, taking part in an Austrian TV talent show.
