Being Conchita: We Are Unstoppable Hardcover – August 1, 2015

With the song "Rise Like a Phoenix," Thomas Neuwirth—better known to the world as Conchita Wurst—stormed to victory in 2014's Eurovision Song Contest. The bearded drag queen's winning words, "We are unity and we are unstoppable," were a pointed riposte to overt Russian hostility and Eastern European homophobia, and a watershed moment for LGBT campaigners. Her victory stirred massive support right across the continent in the gay community and beyond, and Conchita's inspirational book will undoubtedly attract that same support and goodwill. Published to coincide with the competition's sixtieth-anniversary show—to be broadcast from Vienna to an estimated worldwide audience of 200 million fans—this is Conchita's full story from rural childhood to recording artist, Gaultier Couture model and cultural icon.

5.0 out of 5 stars EASY & INTERESTING READ BY AN INCREDIBLE SINGER & ARTIST

WOW, WOW, WOW! I love Conchita and only recently discovered her as I live in the U.S. and she isn't well known here as in Europe. This is the best autobiography I've ever read. Most are written so poorly and share very little. I love her outlook on everything and her ability and success to live her life her way. She IS unstoppable, unbreakable, and #1 in my book! My only problem with her book is that it is too short and ended much too quickly. Thanks to whomever translated it from German for this market and made it available at an excellent price.

Lo compré porque soy fan de Conchita y me ha encantado. El precio estupendo, el libro de calidad, con una sobrecubierta muy bonita con su foto y las letras brillantes. En el interior trae un montón de fotos de su infancia y su juventud, y ganando Eurovisión. Aunque el libro está en inglés y yo tengo un nivel medio, es muy fácil de leer. Lo cuenta todo de forma muy directa y entretenida, muy divertido. Me ha encantado

Seeing the 2020 Eurovision Programme and watching the One and Only Conchita truly rise to the Occasion in 2014, 'BRAVO' I belatedly wished to read Tom's very well written, intelligent, moving, amusing and healing autobiography. The brief and to the point chapters share a story well worth reading which has undoubtedly helped many - born of the universal soul in its subject matter, message and appeal... As Dame Shirley Bassey sings... "Conchita is for ever, for ever, for ever......."
Nice one Tom.

Interesting, the story of a happy but troubled childhood and a problem life through the teenage years. However, Conchita has come through it all stronger and apparently, very caring. A good read.
