Great News From Austria!

Austria has announced they will send Conchita Wurst to Eurovision in 2014! Conchita, whose real name is Tom Neuwirth, competed for a chance to represent Austria in 2012, but she was defeated by this MESS. Her entry, "That's What I Am" came in second place.

Austria, typically, does not do very well at Eurovision. They have only won the Contest once, in 1966. And they have placed last seven times, with many of their entries receiving zero votes.

Will next year be different for Austria? There's no way to know for sure, but Conchita Wurst does have a hot name, a perfectly manicured eyebrow/beard situation, and I'm sure she'll put on a great show. Great work, Austria! I look forward to seeing Conchita in Copenhagen!
