Wurst voted Eurovision’s best

In the end, Wurst was voted the best.

Wurst, sporting high heels, butterfly eyelashes, and a full beard, topped the Netherlands’ modern- country duo the Common Linnets, who sang ‘Calm After The Storm’.

“For me, my dream came true,” Wurst, 25, whose birth name is Tom Neuwirth, said after the win. “But for our society, it just showed me that there are people out there who want to go into the future and go on, you know, not stepping back or thinking in the past.”
