An era ended in Hungary last night and hopefully that was a first of many changes to come in also some other parts of the world ! I don't get to politics usually but this one links to Eurovision as well as the new elected prime minister has stated in some interview that he wants to connect Hungary to Europe again in every way including the Eurovision song contest, that he didn't agree with the non participation, so... Welcome back Hungary in 2027?
All these years Hungary have been missing from Eurovision they have still continued with their national competition since 2012 A Dal that provided the entry for Eurovision as well. Below you can hear the entries we missed. However it's worth remembering the line up and therefor also the winner might have been different if there was the ticket to Eurovision in store for the winner. This said, I would have been quite ok with most every entry that won A Dal in between. Maybe not all so Eurovision friendly but then again the songs don't need to be. Let's go:
2020 Gergö Rácz & Reno Orsovai - Mostantól ****
2021 Kaukázus - Egyetlen szó ***
2022 Ibolya Oláh - Nem adol el *
2023 Titán - Éjféli járat ***+
2024 Evelin László - Legényes **
2025 Gypo Circus & Jennifer Szirota - Szél úgy beszél ***+
2026 Re Va Dame - Veled Álmodtam
My favorite Hungarian entry remains this:
... or this?
Hungary debuted in Eurovision song contest in 1993 and scored their best placing, 4th, the year after. Since then they have reached the Top-10 four times; 5th in 2014, 8th in 2017, 9th in 2007 and 10th in 2013. They failed to reach the final only three times since the semi-final(s) were introduced. One of them being their last participation to date in 2019.
