Hello!
A few weeks ago we launched a new feature that ment we interview someone from each country in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 & ask their review on their countries entry!
Today we are interviewing Patrick Melbler about Austria's 2014 entry!
Patrick is a massive Eurovision fan from Austria! We sent Patrick some question's about Austria's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2014, which he has kindly answered them for us!
Austria's entry in Eurovision 2014 is Conchita Wurst with the song "Rise Like A Phoenix". Read what Patrick said to us below!
1. Hey Patrick! Thanks for doing this interview! How long have you been a Eurovision fan?
Patrick: Hey! I’m really happy to do this for your website. I watch Eurovision since 2006 but I can’t remember many things of the show only Switzerland doing bad and Finlands hilarious performance – lol – but since 2007 I remember all the things and I watch it every year.
2. A few months ago it was announced Conchita Wurst would represent Austria, What did you think off this when you heard the news?
Patrick: When the ORF announced that Conchita Wurst will represent my country was thrilled and I couldnt believe it. It was such a great feeling that finally a singer with a special presence and a message will sing for Austria. Since her performance in 2012 at the NF Im a big fan of Conchita and it were wonderful news.
3. After a few months off waiting Conchita's song "Rise Like A Phoenix" was release, What do you think off the song?
Patrick: Yeah it took quite a long time till they announced the song of Conchita. The day when the song was released I was sitting in the school. I totally forgot that it was on that day. After school I was sitting in the car and I remembered that the song shouldve been released. I was so excited when I heard it the first time. I knew its totally a winner song and we could do really well with it. “Rise like a Phoenix” is a song with a message – finally an Austrian entry with a meaning. Everybody should Rise like a Phoenix and thats a good message to everybody. Be yourself – not somebody who people want you to be. I love song and I listen to it everyday. Douze point pour Autriche.
4. How would you compare Conchita's song to recent Austrian Eurovision entries?
Patrick: I think you can’t compare Conchitas song with the other ones. Its a special song and not comparable. When you listen to it you will be in a different world – a world without discrimination. Natalia Kelly & Nadine Beiler were great representer with amazing songs and a wonderful presence but Conchita and “Rise Like a Phoenix” is untouchable – the best song we ever sent.
5. Austria will be in semi final two, Do you think Austria will qualify for the final?
Patrick: Thank god that Conchita will perform in the second semi final because there more open-minded countries as in semi 1. I definitely think that we will qualify to the Grand Final.
6. Where do you think Austria will place overall in Eurovision 2014?
Patrick: Well in the semi final we will maybe be in the top 5 and for the Grand Final I think we have a chance to be in Top 10. Many people think we wont reach the top 10 but I can really see it and it would be great to be back again afer all this big dissapointments.
7. Finally what are you most looking foward to in Eurovision 2014?
Patrick: Im really looking forward to see all the wonderful performances and of course Conchita performing. I really hope Austria will do well – not only that I wanna see a good place – it would be great to show many Austrian people who dont believe in Conchita it wonders can happen and its not about what your beard when your a woman or what you want to be – We should be all open minded and respect Conchita!
