I think it's pretty cool
that Austria won the ESC (Eurovision Song contest) 2014! ... I loved the
message about tolerance, Conchita Wurst carried out, :)
To be honest I didn't
expect her to win... I said to my mum: “Well she's going to be noticed but is
that enough?” (That was when I didn't know the song. I don't like checking out
the songs before, because it is more of a surprise if you don't listen to them
until the actual show!)...
Austria even got points from
countries which I didn't expect to give any points at all!
Did you know that Austria
participated in the ESC about 47 times and only won this show 1x before this
year's show? Last time Austria won was back in 1966! The winning song in 1966
was "Merci Chérie" by Udo Jürgens
The first time Austria
participated in the ESC was in 1957, the song was "Wohin, kleines Pony" by Bob
Martin.
For me Conchita
Wurst's song "Rise Like a Phoenix" feels like it could be the
soundtrack for a Bond movie... I mean it's pretty awesome ;)
