Probably, many remember the scandal, which 3 years ago ended the song contest "Eurovision-2014". It was then that the winner was a "bearded woman" - Conchita Wurst, a representative of Austria. Since then, in the life of the singer, little has changed and she, as before, is engaged in music, although now in the role of a judge.
Song Contest "It Takes 2"
Very soon the new season of the show "It Takes 2" starts, in which the mentors recruit young performers to their teams, and after that compete among themselves. It was one of these roles, according to the idea of the producers of the song contest, that Conchita had to perform, but she unexpectedly refused. True, Wurst explained to the press why she acted like this:
"In order to educate new talent there must be patience, but I do not have it. Music must first be felt, and then explained. That's the last I can not. However, I can assure you that I'm not going to leave the ranks of people who participate in the show "It Takes 2". You can see me in the jury. I really want to take part in this role, because I can understand whether a person is talented or not. However, further specialists should work with beginning talents ".
In addition, Conchita said a little about what he is going to do at the contest, in addition to working for the jury:
"In order for the contest to be really interesting for me, I decided to sing in it too. I will present a few cover versions of the songs, which, in my opinion, will perfectly fit into the concept of the show. I hope that many will like my idea. "

Conchita Wurst appeared in 2011
Austrian Tom Neuwirth was born in November 1988 in the small town of Gmunden. From an early age, he realized that he was different from his peers, because he was very fond of dressing up in girlish dresses. As a teenager, Neuwirth confessed that he was gay, but from others on himself learned what collective harassment, ridicule, humiliation, etc. were.
Since 18 years, Tom has participated in various reality shows and song competitions. In 2011, he had the courage for the first time, and he embodied his dream of a "bearded woman" into reality, appearing in the image of Conchita Wurst on the show "Big Chance". The truth is that Tom did not smile very well, and he took only 6th place. After that, Neuwirth only strengthened his opinion that it is necessary to move in this direction, and Conchita will like many. In one of his interviews about Wurst, the musician said these words:
"Conchita is a symbol of tolerance and acceptance of different people as they are, regardless of external data and sexuality."
