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.
