According to Emmilie herself, she started singing before talking. As a child, she successfully performed in the church choir, and at the age of 14 she went on her first tour with the Danish musician Fraser Neil.

Eurovision 2014. Denmark
The 59th Eurovision Song Contest was held in Denmark from May 6 to 10. The symbol of Eurovision 2014 was the blue diamond.
In 2014, the winner of the competition, unexpectedly for everyone - and for himself too - was 25-year-old singer from Austria Thomas Neuwirth, who performed under the stage name Conchita Wurst. In the final, with the song “Rise Like a Phoenix,” she scored 290 points, 52 points ahead of her closest competitor, the duet “The Common Linnets” from the Netherlands, who scored 238 points.
Eurovision 2014 overall turned out to be the strongest last years. Over the past 10 years, there has been a lot of criticism of Eurovision, and some countries seemed to deliberately send frankly second-rate artists to the competition.
Thomas Neuwirth - Austrian unconventional singer sexual orientation, who, with the help of his stage image bearded woman fights for tolerance and equality of all people, regardless of their appearance.
This image is three years old; Neuwirth in the form of Wurst - a bearded and stylishly dressed vamp - could have gone to Eurovision 2012, but took second place at the national selection.
The musician himself separates himself and the singer he created - this is, however, what all artists do who work with characters of a different (and also their own) gender. You can remember, for example, Verka Serduchka, who was invented by Andrei Danilko from Ukraine and who in this image recorded albums, starred in films, represented his country at Eurovision 2007 and even took second place there.
Europe's choice can hardly be considered demonstrative - objectively, Conchita Wurst, despite the beard, was the most feminine of the artists participating in this year's competition, and had perhaps the most outstanding vocal abilities in comparison with other competitors.
Eurovision 2015. Austria
The Eurovision 2015 final took place in the Austrian capital Vienna on 23 May.
Based on the results of a 12-point rating scale, the winner of Eurovision 2015 was Måns Zelmerlöw with the song Heroes. He scored 365 points and “broke away” from Russia, which remained in second place.
Måns Zelmerlöw was born on June 13, 1986 in the Swedish city of Lund into a family of doctors. His father, Sven-Olaf Zelmerlöw, worked as a surgeon, and his mother, Bridget Salen, is a professor in the field of speech pathology. The boy grew up listening to the music of Michael Jackson and Elton John. At first, Mons learned to play the piano, but he soon got bored with this instrument, and he changed it to the guitar.
In 2002, Mons took part in the filming of the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, where he got a small role as one of Joseph's eleven brothers.
At nineteen years old, the young man did not yet have a clear idea of what he would do in the future. At that time, Måns' friend persuaded him to go to Stockholm (Sweden) and audition for the talent show Idol 2005, where he took fifth place, and, to his surprise, Måns Zelmerlöw passed the qualifying round, performing a song by Enrique Iglesias. This was the first time the guy visited the capital of Sweden. The singer failed to win this competition.
The artist’s next dream was a big European tour with his band. To implement it, Måns Zelmerlöw took part in the qualifying round of Eurovision 2015, and successfully passed it. True, only the third attempt was crowned with success; before that, the musician did not pass the casting twice, in last time in 2009. At Eurovision 2015, Mons Zelemerlev performed the song Heroes.
Besides musical career Mons took part in dubbing cartoons. Yes, in a voice popular singer Lem from Planet 51 spoke, as well as Flynn Rider from the animated tale Tangled.

The opening ceremony of the International Eurovision Music Competition took place three days ago in the Mariinsky Park in Kyiv. And the day before, on May 9, the winners of the first semi-final had already been determined. They were representatives of Moldova, Azerbaijan, Greece, Sweden, Portugal, Poland, Armenia, Australia, Cyprus and Belgium, according to the official website of the competition.
ON THIS TOPIC
18 countries took part in the first semi-final. However, not everyone is lucky. Thus, Albania, Czech Republic, Finland, Georgia, Iceland, Latvia, Montenegro and Slovenia did not qualify for the final part of the show.
Please note that the selection of finalists took place in two stages. First, the national juries gave their scores after a live broadcast of the dress rehearsal, and the audience cast their votes during the competition itself.
The second semi-final will take place on May 11, and the final will take place 13th. Let us remind you that there will be no representative of Russia at the holiday, on which almost eight million euros were spent. Our country refused to participate in the event after the Security Service of Ukraine banned the entry of Russian representative Yulia Samoilova. She allegedly violated Ukrainian legislation by performing in Crimea.
Note that Russia has participated in Eurovision since 1994. Our first performer at the competition was Masha Katz, also known under the pseudonym Judith. In Irish Dublin she performed the song " Eternal Wanderer"and took 9th place. Then Kirkorov, Pugacheva, Alsou, graduates of the Star Factory and the Voice show went to Eurosong. We won only once - in 2008, Dima Bilan won first place on his second attempt.
Eurovision is a competition known throughout the world. It is the brightest event in the spring. Participating countries begin preparing for it in advance: some organize competitions among performers within their country, others are guided by the popularity of the artists.
The choice of some participants is sometimes frightening, and sometimes makes them fall into depression, on the eve of, in the opinion of many, the collapse of morality on Earth. For example, in 2014, the list of Eurovision winners was replenished with the name of Conchita Wurst...
