5 weeks at the ESC-throne: Conchita Wurst's experiences after this years victory


Conchita Wurst took the stage for Austria in this years ESC in Copenhagen. With a sovereign victory in the second semifinal she also came on the top of the field and took back home the ESC to Austria after 48 years.

Since then many things happened in Conchitas life. There were congratulations from all over the world. Stars like Cher, Udo Jürgens and Lady Gaga were impressed by her performance on stage. Lady Gaga even invited her to be a part of her tour. Joinuseurovision reported (see here).

After coming home to Austria she gave an Open Air Concert in downtown of Vienna in front of 10.000 fans.  This was her thank to all the people who believed in her and her song. See our report here. But more came after that.

Axel Hirsoux from Belgium and Ovi from Romania who were competitors to Conchita in Copenhagen gave a special tribute to her. Axel sang a cover version of 'rise like a phoenix' (we reported here). With that he wanted show his respect to this years winner and for all what she stands for. The same did Ovi from Romania. Dressed in a red dress he did a show for tolerance to those of other sexual orientations (read more here)

Conchita also were a guest at this year life ball in Vienna and can be seen at different Christopher Street Days in Europe. In Cologne there is her Sister called Conchita Wurst 4711, who is a part of the gay scene in  the city.

This is a part what happened through the last 5 weeks and there for sure is more to come. In Germany for example there are already rumors that Conchita may be part of the jury of the German version of the castingshow 'idol'. If there will be more we will report. So stay tuned.
