Maybe the UK should enter Russell Brand in a frock next year.

How many would it take before one would consider Conchita Wurst? I was thinking 10 pints earlier but it's down to 6 now. Something about her eyes!

It's a fella.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Female with a beard.

Nope. It's just a drag act.

Winning formula though. It's 1975 in Europe.

 

[Frutos]

10) The Bearded Lady from Austria

Drag is nothing new to Eurovision or particularly controversial. However Conchita Wurst, Austria’s entry for 2014 and the drag persona of Austrian singer Tom Neuworth, is different. Conchita’s character challenges traditional ideas about gender, notions of beauty and conformity. Recently there have been complaints in some countries from groups calling for Austria's performance to be censored from the Eurovision broadcast as they view her as a corruptive influence! Conchita's performance takes place during tense times in Europe. Only last week Russian politician Vitaly Milonov described Eurovision as a ‘Europe-wide gay parade’. It'll be interesting to see how this one pans out.

The English language has yet again scored an overwhelming victory for our mighty island and has shown its increasing dominance in Europe.

 

[Mackenzie]

What a farce! The Dutch song was far superior to that. Perhaps they should have swapped clothes.

 

[chez]

I wanna know why Iceland didn't win. Theirs was the only song worth listening to.

What the **** is that Austrian all about??!!!! That's just pure wrong!

 

[Smithy]

So a bearded lady wins. Cool.
