Winning option:Conchita Wurst: Rise Like a Phoenix Anyway, Conchita is the winner of Eurovision. This is wonderful news. Conchita is crying her eyes out. She dedicates the win to everyone who believes in peace and freedom. Which, I guess, is us? It's hard to say. Screw it, she dedicated the win to us. To me, in fact, specifically to me. Thanks, Conchita!

Background

Beneath the annual extravaganza of sequins and lights, the Eurovision Song Contest is an undeniably political event, from the strategic voting to using the competition as a way to boost a country's image on the continent. But this year, turmoil in Ukraine and Russia’s anti-gay propaganda laws both look set to further politicize an event already known for its combination of bombastic enthusiasm and subtle lessons in international relations.

Watched by an estimated 125 million viewers across the world, the nearly 60-year-old contest remains an obscure event to many Americans. The Eurovision song contest began in 1956 as a way to unite European countries after the continent-wide trauma of the Second World War, and has expanded to include more countries joining the ever-changing Europe landscape. Waves of turmoil and change have swept over Europe since then, but a few alliances have formed.
