The Second winner representing Austria in the Eurovision contest, where the first is won in 1966 by Udo Jürgens. Conchita attended an interview before the finals... expressing his/her feelings on representing Austria and Sharing her motto:
"Shoot for the moon, even if you missed it, you will land among the stars"
"no one can stop" she said as when there were comments made about her act on stage, and she thinks that everyone can do what they want as long as we are not harming anyone. As with a fashion background, the dress used to perform "Rise Like a Phoenix", was designed by the singer herself. The stage name that he made was Conchita Wurst, where Wurst stand for meaningless and "I don't care", as he thinks that it is not important where you're from and not important how you look, trying to bring the message of equalization between human beings. And Conchita is inspired by a Cuban friend, However without noticing, Conchita also stands for female private parts and Wurst also have a meaning of male private parts.

There's been talk of a Pantera reunion with Zakk Wylde (guitarist of Black Label Society) filling in for Dimebag Darrel since his death about 10 years ago. I think its a bad idea. Pantera are coined with titles, 'best metal band' and 'best band ever' and with more than 10 years since the band has split, they wouldn't be able to recreate the same sound. If anything the group should start a new band but living up to the great Pantera - and Dimebag - legacy is near impossible. It could be the best thing ever or a train wreck sparking debates of who's better, why they shouldn't have gotten back together and arguments everywhere of who did it better. I think it'll be the latter. Wylde and Dimebag are great guitarists, lets not make a battle between them. It would sound good, don't get me wrong on that, but there would be fan expectations and arguments clouding the music. To give a listen of what it might sound like, here is a fan-filmed video of Phil Anselmo singing with Black Label Society the Pantera classic, "I'm Broken."
