May 8th – The second semi-final

The evening of Thursday May 8th was the moment of truth for Conchita. Will she qualify to the final? At that time, Austria last qualified 3 years ago with the song The secret is love by Nadine Beiler. In 2012 and 2013 the country were no where near the top 10 as they had finished last in 2012 and 14th the following year. Since she was a favourite it was obvious that there was huge pressure on Conchita to qualify. Some artist can fall underneath pressure like this but did Conchita…#not.
