ESC 2017 REVIEW - HUNGARY (03): JOCI PÁPAI - ORIGO

Pictured is Hungary's national flower tulip Hungary continued with the highly succesful A Dal concept for the 6th time and once again managed to gather a very high class and variable lot of artists and songs. This year the process was made even more professional as all the artists had to have already a recording contract and a label, at least one album alreayd released or their music being played on Hungarian radio and television. 30 entries made the cut and through three heats and two semifinal we were down to eight finalists. Joci Pápai won the final round with televotes, having qualified on each step purely thanks to juries. His Origo is written by himself. József "Joci" Pápai (35) is Hungarian singer, rapper and guitarist of Romani descent, and for the first time Hungary will bring their gipsy minority into spotlight in Eurovision, a fact that these times and days isn't so obvious.

Compact Disco for Hungary!

My predictions were better in Hungary :-) My top-4 favourites were also the televoters top-4 or Caramel, Compact Disco, The Kiralys and Gábor Heincz . Then it was up to judges and two of them chose Compact Disco (one of them being Kati Wolff), one Caramel and one Gábor. So, Compact Disco with Sound of our hearts will go to Baku 2012 for Hungary! Great!

Tonight: Final in Hungary

The Hungarian final A Dal takes place tonight. Eight songs made it to the final; six of them picked up by the jury, two by televote. I stick to my favourites Compact Disco and Caramel followed by Gabor, Tibor, Gabi and the Kiralys. If the winner is one of them I'm happy. If it is Compact Disco or Caramel I'm very happy! You can watch the final on eurovision.tv and it starts at 20.15 CET Learning to let go - Gábor Heincz Like a Child - Juli Fábián & Zoohacker Back in place  - Tibor Gyurcsík Nem kell végszó  -  Gabi Tóth Sound Of Our Hearts - Compact Disco This Love - Nika Untried - The Kiralys Vízió - Caramel

All is fine in Hungary: Compact Disco and Caramel in final

I opted for the Hungarian webcast tonight and I'm pretty pleased I did. Sadly András didn't make it to the final but my all other favourites did, namely Compact Disco, Caramel and Tóth Gabi. With addition of Heincz Gábor, that I didn't quite pay attention until tonight so it was between him and András for me then. And indeed so it was for the jury as well as Gabi came 4th with them and András 5th.

Hungary: The first semifinal songs for Saturday

Hungary came back to Eurovision last year when they chose internally Kati Wolf and made a stunning comeback. Maybe not on the scoreboard but in most every fans heart. This year they had an open call for songs and now we will have two semifinals and a grand final. Three finalists will be picked by a jury and a fourth one by televote in each of two semifinals, making it a 8 songs final. Here are the songs in the first semifinal this Saturday, January 28. My favourites are András Kállay-Saunders, Compact Disco and Caramel. Then Gabi Tóth or Annamari Dancs. Rudi Krisz - A fél veled egész Attila Kökény & Tamara Bencsik - Állítsd meg ad idöt Niki Gallusz & Márton Vizy - Európa, egy a szívunk Annamari Dancs - Feel Barna Pély, Eszter Pál & István Pál "Szalonna" - Hangok a szívekért András Kállay-Saunders - I love you Gábor Heincz - Learning to let go Gabi Tóth - Nem kell végszó Compact Disco - Sound of our hearts Caramel - Vízió
