Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Very simple and static. All the action happens in the backdrop where we have solar system, then earth (one of this editions trends) and then arms that turn into a lovely tree. BY the end Boggie and her group walk towards the audience like in a funeral march. Boggie and her huge eyes seem a bit scared at times. Hard to say how this will go; either televoters love it or simply ignore it. Certainly it's different and a total contrast after Serbia's explosion. 

Hungary seems to have a rather simple staging with all the action happening in the backdrop that goes from solar system to a tree. In between a lot happens apparently. Boggie and her group are dressed properly, nice and behave cordially. Somehow the pieces don't match. With a song like this maybe they should be more casual, more common. Now this is like those charity evenings millionaires attend to help the poor or sick children while eating very costly dinners. I don't know. I don't buy this. 

Wars for nothng by Boggie will represent Hungary in Vienna, after winning the superfinal where televoters had their say. First round it was the usual jury voting and the results were: Ádám Szabò - 28 Boggie - 24 Spoon - 20 Zoltan Muhajid - 20 Kati Wolf - 16 ìV - 4 Passed - 0 Balint Gajer - 0 Boggie is a project by singer Boglárka Csemer and keyboardist Áron Sebestyén, so should we consider this another duo? The televoting results haven't been yet released. If they will be, I'll add them here...

Hungary's A Dal has been through three heats and two semifinals and we finally have the final and by the end of it the Hungarian Eurovision 2015 entry for neighbouring Vienna. Simple? As usual, I know I repeat myself, the line up is very good. For me A Dal has been for years now one of the strongest national finals around and this year is no exception. Below the acts and their points in the semifinals. Six qualified thanks to jury while Spoon and Bálint qualified thanks to the televoters. Boggie and Adam start from the pole position. I'm not sure about Boggie 's live performances even if the song is sweet and important. she has also always qualified thanks to jurors so will televoters like her, too? I like Ádám 's song and his intense performance. Kati hasn't completely convinced me yet but it's good and will be easier to master when in English . Yet I don't think she would better her placement in Vienna from the last time so she should stay home this t...

Hungary will have its first semifinal this Saturday. My favorites are Ádám Szabó, Karmapolis, Zoltán Mujahid, Vera Tóth, Timi Antal.... Now that was a very little review wasn't it? This said Szabó seems like the strongest one here, Antal could be very strong if she gets her act together, Vera can be hypnotic and mysterious and Zoltán has a very good act. I like Karmapolis a lot, but isn't it a bit same as Compact Disco? I still need to warm up to Boggie that scored so well with the juries and left me wondering why.....  The songs were selected in three semifinals, five qualifying by the jury (you can see their given points below) and then one song was selected by the televoters from the remaining). I suppose the same goes for the semifinal (4+1). As usual the standard of the songs is very high, without being Eurovision plastic and Eurovision by numbers like is the case in many national selections unfortunately. Hungary will be a top contender in Vienna once again, unless s...
