Männer (Men), Germany’s most-read gay lifestyle magazine, has put Azerbaijan’s Eurovision 2015 star Elnur Huseynov on the cover of its May issue. It’s not just because plenty of readers find him attractive. It’s because editors at the mag believe Elnur and his song “Hour of the Wolf” deserve to win.

“In the May issue of MEN it’s all about the Sausage – and her potential successors,” they write of reigning winner Conchita Wurst. And who might that be? The cover gives you a major clue. They also praise Elnur’s ability to work five and a half octaves — just like Mariah Carey.

Note: Elnur himself is not gay, but is supportive of all people. He didn’t realise that he’d appear in the magazine or on the front of it. Here’s a Tweet he sent to wiwibloggs:

Elnur’s song is powerful. His voice is so enchanting and beautiful. Azerbaijan – favourite of Eurovision 2015.

I had feeling at 2008 that this is not the last time we are seeing this guy on stage and his returning (except all his performances elsewhere) is pretty thrilling. With more confidence and such fire in his song! Hope to see him in finale

absolute death at Azerbaijan paying gay magazines !!! How is it possible that readers of the magazine find him attractive? He’s cute but nothing spectacular. Plus, he’s not a favorite act to win so what’s the fuss? This is so suspicious just like the sudden rise in views for Azerbajan’s music video on Eurovision youtube channel.

Elnur is not gay? LOL ok whatever…

I just love big voices and I love Mariah Carey, and Elnur, too. Respect! 🙂

@ Hey Diane
By the way…I would give at least you some credit if you had posted your comment on any other article except this one that refers to a *GAY* magazine actually..

It was very much relevant to talk about gayness on my comment at least on this specific news article alone & i find your opinion non justifiable…{With no offense of course..}

So Azerbaijan is now paying for covers in gay magazines?

So, so lame.

How sweet, and really, totally unexpected.., seriously, he didn’t see this coming)) What a tolerance! Damn)) Perhaps Azerbaijan is a birth place of tolerance)) (kidding))
But I just don’t believe in that bullshit. It’s clear that they are pinning their hopes on the huge army of Eurovision gay fans. Swedish music production is not sufficient anymore.. The most musically talented, most tolerant, most democratic (and etc. most most ) muslim asian.., oops ‘european’ nation now in need of other ways to achieve their goals!

I don’t think Elnur is hot at all, what happened to the Germans??? But that’s fine, tastes are different. I think Måns, Daniel K, Vaclav and Nadav are this year’s hottie babes, as Mario would call them. 🙂 By the way, Mario, are your Greek? I looove your country, culture, history and language!

And i don’t really dislike him anymore as i used to.. 🙂 Well i truly believe that Elnur must be homosexual but its only up to him to decide when he will come out of the closet on his own terms of course.. I think the same belief about Eldar & Farid…ALL the male participants of Azerbaijan in our Vision.. 🙂 { leaving… Read more »

I have to say, I do find Elnur quite attractive this time around, in 2008 he was a joke act though in my opinion. Nice to see he has matured into a fine young man 😀 definitely someone I’d take home to meet the parents. Song wise, it sounds remarkably like Queen’s “Who Wants To Live Forever” which, considering Elnur’s vocal capacity, is probably the fan base they want to target. But its a good song and actually marks the first time since 2009 that Azerbaijan makes my personal top 10. p.s. I think Elnur might be gay though, albeit… Read more »

You guys dont write anything about the Turkish version of his song! But your write about a cover on a non-famous german magazine. Why ?
Since Yesterday the Turkish version of Elnurs Eurovision song got more than 50.000 views. This should be a new
