Way
too theatrical for my liking. I wasn't expecting much from
Austria
this
year as Conchita Wurst just doesn't do it for me as an artist, but
this was still a disappointment. The staging on the other hand may
end up being extravagant this year for
Austria
!

I like this a lot, Conchita is perfect for this song. The song
itself is really good powerballad and I think this might do good in
Copenhagen
.

Good entry good vocals.Its not outstanding though.The only thing
that might help to qualify is the look of the singer what is
memorable. That is not bad or good it just will stand out.I don't
know how will go with the public.If it enters to the final it will
end in the bottom 6

Conchita goes Bond? Whoever thought
that
Austria
would send a novelty song to
Copenhagen
will be surprised by this very credible entry. If Conchita
sings this well and peoples minds are open and hear the message in
this very beautiful and dramatic ballad, this could give
them their best result in a long time. I am really looking
forward to seeing how this is staged. Love it!

I
dislike the woman with the beard thats why even if the song was good
again it will be in my least favorites. An annoying efford to
immitate James Bond movie themes

I decide to listen this song with my eyes closed, since some will
not vote it just because it's Conchita, and other will vote just
because the same. The
song has excellent instrumentation, nice lyrics and a great vocal
performance and deserve final as this is a song contest.

I am really not sure how
Europe
will respond to
Conchita but the song will either completely flop or it will win the
whole thing. Personally I like it and hope it does well.

Wow! Not many songs this year have given me goosebumps, and
Conchita delivers those in spades! Great lyrics too - I'm half
expecting a Bond film in the future to be named "Rise like a
Phoenix," the song is more than suited to it.

Conchita really sings well and song is nice, I don’t see
it possible to win or enter top10 unfortunately, but because of
prejudice in many countries. The Bond
theme like sound makes it timeless.

A very good and powerful entry, I like it. Conchita Wurst has a
real good voice. I’m afraid some viewers will not understand
Conchita but really hope she will get a great result!

Let the sky fall ... When it crumbles ... A very Bond(ish) entry,
a pander drama song, baroque enough; a powerful voice and that touch
of glamour many of us are probably looking for. But that's the
point: is there something really special in this song? I don't feel
like listening to a "miracle song", honestly. Much ado for
...

The title is better than the song. It is a powerful ballad but
for some reason it is not sung the way I thought from when Ijust saw
the title. maybe in
Copenhagen
they will do a better visual presentation of the song, so you
could feel is is rising out of the phoenix. This should get
Austria
into the final.

It's not quite "Skyfall",
but this song gives plenty of James Bond-level drama. I applaud
Austria
for not going with a direct drag cliché, but bringing it up
subtly with the lyrics. Strong vocals...looking forward to hearing
this live.

As
camp as Shirley Bassey singing the James Bond theme with hints of a
Robbie Williams number, if people can see past a man with a beard in
a frock this is a great song with a real chance.

Is Conchita too much for Eurovision? I think this may bomb badly
but it's a good ballad and ticks all the boxes. I hope to be proved
wrong

Now this is a surprise! Influenced by
James Bond and Shirley Bassey this is a rather classy number, and a
brave choice when most people were expecting a camp disco stomper
from Conchita. Her issue lies with whether the Easter European
countries will accept a bearded man in a dress. Judging from some of
the YouTube comments I have seen, I am not so sure. I think it
deserves to qualify though, but I expect it will do a Krista
Siegfrids and bomb in the final, undeservedly

This
is all a tad overwrought and in any other year and by any other
singer it wouldn’t make it out of the semis. If it does make the
finals it will be on the back of a beard. It’s overtly stylistic
of something from a fake dramatic scene in a cut price musical. Not
the worst but certainly not the best.

Well this one came as a surprise!
Amongst the endless dull ballads on offer this year, Ms Wurst offers
something a little better. It's Bond-esque in parts and
luxuriates in a searing string accompaniment. Whether viewers will
find Conchita's appearance off-putting is another matter. Nice song
though.

Giving Conchita a bold, sweeping power-ballad and allowing her to
display the full, impressive range of her vocal talents was a stroke
of genius. I admire her stance on challenging conformity and
"normality", and am saddened by those individuals who
chose to pigeon-hole her as some kind of "freak-show",
especially considering that many of those who chose to cast
aspersions will also have dealt with similar judgements on their own
identities. Brava Ms Wurst!

this! A well-constructed, dramatic song with a very strong melody.
Really hoping this does well.

My
guilty pleasure. Yes, it might be a rejected Bond theme song but
it’s a near miss. Well written, excellently orchestrated, and his
voice suits the tone. I hope they do a Bond style theme performance.
It needs to be classy and big!

For me, this is a very ordinary song
from an extrordinary performer. I expected something to wow me, to
test musical boundaries. Instead I am left with a bloke in a frock
singing a wannabe Bond song. Its pleasant but sounds dated.
Disappointing and I can't see this in the final. I wish them well
and my advice for more points - keep the frock but buy a razor. Oh
and Valentina wins the Bond battle...

Hmm this is James Bond-esque and
Conchita gives a first class am-dram/arm-waving performance, but how
about the live vocals? It's good yes but I felt like it never
got out of second gear and the video is perhaps a tad too OTT?
Still, as ballads go it is good.

So
disappointing. Thought it was going to turn into a thumping disco
number, but it just kind of turned into a bland James Bond theme
tune reject. And we really didn't need another ballad! Not
unpleasant, but very uninspired.

This is going to be interesting! Great voice, I like the song but
will be image of the act affect the votes? Hopefully not – but you
never know. A possible top 5?

Austria
has saved the Wurst - but not the worst - until nearly last, and
it was worth the wait. Conchita delivers a great, big,
sweeping Bassey-style ballad, and if she can pull off the live
performance,
Austria
is safely back in the finals after three years.

Oh, what a shame. I was so hoping for another "That's What I
Am". This certainly has style, and Conchita has a lovely voice,
but this Bond-style song is not good enough to guarantee
qualification to the final. I so wanted to see those Russians
squirm. This gets bonus points because Conchita is so fantastic.
