Rise Like A Phoenix was the Austrian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen performed by Conchita Wurst, the drag alter-ego of singer Tom Neuwirth. A powerful, anthemic ballad, many fans have equated it to a theme song for the long-running James Bond movie franchise. Going into the contest, bookies saw Austria, like the Netherlands, as an outsider compared to the heavily-favored Armenia. However, Conchita's powerful performance in the second semifinal brought the house down and after qualifying saw the song move to the top of the bookies' rankings, overtaking Sweden.

| - Rise Like A Phoenix was the Austrian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen performed by Conchita Wurst, the drag alter-ego of singer Tom Neuwirth. A powerful, anthemic ballad, many fans have equated it to a theme song for the long-running James Bond movie franchise. Going into the contest, bookies saw Austria, like the Netherlands, as an outsider compared to the heavily-favored Armenia. However, Conchita's powerful performance in the second semifinal brought the house down and after qualifying saw the song move to the top of the bookies' rankings, overtaking Sweden. In the final, it was performed 11th following Greece and preceding Germany. At the close of voting, it was declared the winner with 290 points, which included 13 sets of 12-point scores. Also, this was Austria's first win since 1966, having waited 48 long years to win again.
