Conchita presented her new CD "From Vienna with Love" at the Konzerthaus yesterday evening with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and the audience was thrilled

The woman is Monika Ballwein, Conchita' s vocal coach since he was seventeen. She herself is a marvellous singer, maybe the best female singer of Austria.

Last Friday, Conchita celebrated his 30th birthday perhaps a bit too loud.

Funny. It was about four in the morning when Conchita's door knocked while he was celebrating his 30th birthday with his closest friends. Outside the door was the police - complaints about noise. But the officials were amazed when they realized whose party they were about to crash and took it with humor. "Accidentally crashed into Conchita Wurst's 30s party because of some noise. Seems to have been very funny, "the official posted on Twitter. Conchita then shared the post and got lots of likes.

Conchita only vaguely remembers the incident. "I did not realize the police were there," laughs Conchita. "At 4 o'clock were you there? No idea, I only went to bed at 8 o'clock, "smiles the singer. Being 30 was not a problem for Conchita. "I love it! I have a 'birthday month' and celebrate at every opportunity, "says Conchita.

Mariandl,
aus dem Wachauer Landl.
Dein schöner Name klingt
schon wie ein liebes Wort.
Mariandl,
du håst mei Herz am Bandl.
Du hältst es fest und lässt
es nie mehr wieder fort.

Und jedes Jahr, stell ich mich ein,
dran ist der Donaustrom nicht schuld
und nicht der Wein.
Ins Wachauer Landl,
zieht mich mein Mariandl.
Denn sie will ganz allein,
nur mein Mariandl sein.

Und wenn ein junger Mann von Liebe spricht,
wird es gleich ein Gedicht.
Und hat er auch ein lyrisches Gemüt,
wird es oft auch ein Lied,
was ihn dazu trieb, dass er's niederschrieb,
heißt: "Ich hab' dich lieb!"

The motto of the event was „Scandal – 30 Years of Diversity“ . Mission accomplished :lol:

Edit:

OK, it's not a one-time thing. The Vienna Opera Ball is currently taking place and Tom Neuwirth is a guest of the Austrian Minister of Justice. Another dress but also bald again.

Conchita was an ambassador of tolerance, I looked up to. The new Wurst depresses me. It‘s the basic instinct version of Tom, music inspired by demons in his head. I suppose he has to cope with something.

Sad to say, I agree.

Just realized that Conchita got an astounding share of televotes with 72%. Only songs doing better that: Russia 2016, Portugal 2017, Italy 2015.

Although Conchita would have also scored 12 points with the Sammarinese backup televote, which is missing here. Which would mean RLAP was the third most succesful televoting hit in Eurovision so far.

A few days ago Tom Neuwirth aka Conchita gave this powerful performance in front of castle Schönbrunn. Sorry, the cell phone video shows only a glimpse of that magical moment.

Tom Neuwirth was annoyed by his own stage personality, Conchita, and felt constrained by it. "I needed some distance from Conchita, it was like a relationship we had," Neuwirth told dpa in Berlin.

Neuwirth did not completely bury Conchita. "She is taking a break. But she will come back again. "
