The Queen is UNBOTHERED. Unlike your beaten down fave no one touched her and she didn't touch anyone. She'll come out of this unscathed and continue to be better than your prostitute faves at everything.

Actually, she got a purse thrown against her head
So not actual touching but more like assault with a weapon
Yes, it’s a drag queen with a beard and a silly name. But it’s a drag queen with a beard and a silly name who can sing, with a roaring James Bond theme tune to show that off. Wurst’s voice is the driving factor, and fits nicely with the visual persona: androgynous and glamorous, with just a slightest bit of edge. It’s very much a classic diva ballad and that’s what makes it work. The horns give it some extra drama and oomph, compared to the other ballads on the night, and even the lyrics are interesting.

Sung by the hero, it’s an expression of enduring hope and will, a promise of victory echoed by the major chord landing on “reborn”; sung by the villain, it’s terrifying, as the person you thought was defeated rides the key change to come back even stronger than she was before. Either way, it’s a showstopper.

Before last week, I expected this to qualify, do fairly well and be quickly forgotten. Not for reasons of controversy — more because it seemed too conservative a tune to register with the audience. If Conchita had turned up with a bosh anthem about dressing up and going out it might have all seemed a bit too obvious. But there are no gimmicks here, beyond a couple of fairly trenchant lyrics. Instead: a stately torch song, well-orchestrated, with flourishes in all the right places, full of drama and emotion and thoroughly devastated live by a killer voice. Really, this is what the Eurovision is all about.
