Conchita Wurst: The Queen of Europe

If you are not from Europe you may not understand what Eurovision is.It is an annual singing competition where most European countries send their best singers to compete for the trophy. 

This year was a bit different as there was a lot of more conflict between countries. For example the two 17 year olds sisters from Russia were constantly booed whenever they were awarded points. To be honest i thought that Europe would be above that as it is not those two young girls fault what has happened. 

But the most exciting part by far was finding out the winner. The winner was from Austria and called 'Conchita Wurst' which roughly translates to Vagina Penis. She was quickly dubbed the 'Queen of Europe.' Her speech was amazing, talking of freedom and equality. 

It was beautiful and I think her victory was something that Europe really needed. If anything I hope it can give people time to think about what is going on and how we should be giving each other love rather than hate. I hope next year can be just as good.
