Austria first entered the ESC in 1957 and has won twice: in 1966 and 2014. The latter victory was snatched by Conchita Wurst and the mighty song "Rise Like A Phoenix". 

Cesar Sampson will represent Austria this year with "Nobody But You".  Its writers have penned songs for John Legend, Kelly Clarkson and Lady Gaga. "Nobody But You" is a good song, but will struggle to qualify in Semi Final 1.
