A bearded Austrian drag act who has been compared to Kim Kardashian, has won Europe's biggest song contest.
Conchita Wurst, whose real name is Tom Neuwirth, won the 59th annual Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday.
Wurst won easily, beating the Dutch and the Swedish entrants into second and third place, respectively, in the contest loved — and hated — in equal measure for its kitschy appeal.
Wurst, who was compared to Kardashian last year for copying her look when she appeared at a Vienna ball, said her victory was one for "respect and tolerance".
Conchita Wursts whose name is Tom Newirth won the Eurovision "festival", she represented Austria singing a song of respect and tolerance. She sang with beard and girl voice. This claim of tolerance in her song was reflected on the way she considers and wants for herself. Spain obtained the 10th place. This year the spectacle on the scenery was amazing, each show was fantastic, involving their plays with light effects.
That's fantastic, I didn't see the festival, but if she won is because she deserved it, undoubtedly. Her winning shows once more the open-minded ideology from European people. In my opinion, is fantastic that people support minority groups. In fact, there is an article from The Rights Declaration which says that everybody has the right of the free thought and he/she can't be judged for it. So I haven't anything to add, congratulations to Conchita and good luck. I'm glad of her bravery and people counsciousness.
