Conchita's performance quickly gained widespread acclaim online as viewers took to social media to praise her (his) vocal range and bravery.
However, her (his) performance has not been received well received everywhere. In an interview with the Interfax news agency, Vladimir Legoyda of the Russian Orthodox Church, declared that Conchita's win indicates "yet one more step in the rejection of the Christian identity of European culture".
In an address before the 10th Assembly of the World Council of Churches in Busan, Korea he also declared that, "From the point of view of biblical teaching and traditional Christian moral values, this testifies to a profound spiritual crisis.
"The religious understanding of sin has been conclusively eroded in societies that until recently thought of themselves as Christian."
