A second Conchita Wurst wins the ESC?

He is often compared to Conchita Wurst: The 19-year-old Bilal Hassani to Tuesday for France at the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC). With a platinum blond wig, eye-catching make-up, Nickel-glasses, the French with Moroccan roots in Tel Aviv is an insider favorite. In his song "Roi" (king) advertises the singer to stand up in his identity - in spite of all the hostility.

"I am very proud to represent my country," said Hassani, after he had set in the preliminary round against well-known singer. "I'm a hundred percent myself - in spite of all the people who tell me on the Internet, that I am for France."

"Arabs with wig" and "shame on France" are still the most harmless invective, the spread of his opponents in the social networks, about the young singer. "You make us proud!", the Anti-discrimination Organisation Urgence homophobia (emergency homophobia) tweeted about it.

"I'm free, and I invent my life," sings Hassani translated in his Song, "Roi", in the English and French Lyrics which alternate. And: "I don't conform to the conventional image, and the is very disturbing." The Clip, in the Hassani his splayed Hand like a crown holding behind the head, was more than clicked 13 million Times.

Conchita hate anise large model. But the young Frenchman presents a more feminine than the Austrians, and wears no beard. On YouTube, where he greeted his Fans on a regular basis with a hung denied "Bonjour Paris!", he sings not only talking about his life, but published also time make-up videos. The platform he used for his Coming Out.

The work on his Hit "Roi" is referred to as "therapeutically". Even today, it is for people like him a struggle to be accepted, he says. "There is a lot of hatred, a lot of things that could weaken me" - to the point of self-censorship. But he had decided to stand.
