Why do so many people struggle to understand the concept of a drag act? This isn’t a woman, the singer from Lordi isn’t a monster, it’s a musical character

for everybody who's confused - there is a thing called **wikipedia** that you can go onto to solve all your confusion. if you're too lazy just read here: conchita wurst is a drag act, the artist behind her is male and not confused, not weird, and certainly not a "disgusting thing". he's an artist. a human being. and he's SO much a better human being than all of you haters! :D

@libertilgs 9 жыл бұрын

wikipedia is not the best source to direct people. wurst is a gay man, who wants to be a woman, but is not sure how to accomplish that and if he should keep his dick or remove it eventually. people are confused by a lost& confused creature, which is perfectly ok. it's normal to be confused because what we are viewing here is absolutely not normal.

@xEnjoyTheMoment 9 жыл бұрын

livaso2003 so either hes a gay man or a straight woman, he cant be both at the same time, and no, wikipedia is not the best source but i kind of dont have the chance to interview him personally so thats where i go instead. and conchita is just a drag act, thats for sure. hes said that in interviews himself repeatedly! it is normal and you shouldnt be confused about it. its just a performance. what the hell is so confusing about it? have you never heard of cinema, or the opera??

DR. BEES 1) stop offending me personally 2) ever heard of a thing called "acting"? that's when people in movies and theatre pretend to be other people for a while. for example: take on roles as homosexuals, serial killers, police officers, etc - eventho they're not those ppl in real life. conchita is a drag act. that's a form of acting. and acting is completely normal.

Of course, he can do what he wants to do. But that doesn't mean that anyone should change their way of speaking, like using new, "genderneutral" pronouns (e.g. zie, sie, ey, ve, tey or e).

@NoClueHonestly 3 жыл бұрын

@@Lucas-wj8mg No one said you're offensive, calm down snowflake. He is a drag queen, which means he's a male portraying a female on stage for art/entertainment. Since he's portraying a female on stage, the character he's portraying (Conchita Wurst) is referred to with she/her pronouns. Off stage, he's a man. No one said anything about pronouns or anything, you're just so desperate to get offended by a man in a dress you started ranting about it all on your own when it has literally nothing to do with this. The performer is a male so you refer to him as a he, his character is a female so you refer to her as a she, it's not that hard to understand. Calm down and read a book before you start spouting your nonsense.

I was in the audience and let me tell you, the energy in that stadium when Conchita performed was incredible. The epic, positive song and that performance (wow, that performance) had us all on our feet at the end. I was very happy that Austria won with such a good song and singer - and the positive message it gave was only a plus.

@CorneliusHDybdahl 6 жыл бұрын

Everybody is saying that other songs were better and that she only won for being a gay icon. I call bullshit. Very few people with a masculinized voice can sing that effortlessly and smoothly in that high a tessitura. The lyrics as well are breathtaking by themselves and the accompaniment complements both perfectly. This song is a singular masterpiece and the people who say she only won for being a bearded woman are the ones in denial.

While the whole array of arguments pointing toward the gimmicks that are on display here are not invalid I think you are correct in calling them out for what they are: bullshit. They are simply one factor of many and all those factors are fair game. I'm Dutch, we had a magnificent song that many people felt should have won. Yet if we had to lose against anyone, this is exactly the type of act I would hope to lose against. There were just two winning songs that day and there was only one prize. It went to Conchita for giving us the best Bond song never featured in a Bond movie. We should all be grateful.

The song festival is not about who has the best song and the best singer. Conchita has the strongest message and has tremendous courage for getting up on that podium and singing her heart out, despite knowing that she would be hated on by all the bigots. Do you even understand how difficult that must be? To be honest, my brain is still confused when I look at her, but I respect her heart and courage and I find her message to be beautiful.

I'm just saying I hoped they judged based on singing talent and not anything else, because these days networks are trying to be almost *too* PC, and pushing people forward in competitions because of factors completely unrelated to the actual competition.

going through the comments makes me realise how important it actually was that she won. It might not have been he best song (though it was sung nicely) but just the message she tried to give people. Because you're like her, gay or whatever doesn't mean you can't do the same things as straight people. why should sexual orientation matter if we're all human? we should all be proud that she won nomatter how she looked like, it means that europe is finally growing up.
