Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Hungary's A Dal 2017 comes to an end tonight and we will know who will travel to Kyiv and try to bring the trophy to Budapest for the first time. First the juror will rank the songs and send four to the next round, where televoters will have the final say. The field is very much open here. My guilty pleasure is Joci and I wouldn't mind if Kállay Saunders wins again. I can't not think about ByeAlex when I hear Soulwave.... Let's see what the Hungarians end up with.... Watch here 19.30 CET Gigi Radics - See it through Joci Pápai - Origo  WINNER Gina Kanizsa - Fall like rain Soulwave - Kalandor Gabi Tóth & Freddie Shuman feat Begi Lotfi - Hosszú idök Leander Kills - Élet Zävodi & Olivér Berkes - #háttérzaj Kállay Saunders band - Seventeen

Hungary will choose another four finalists tonight, three by the jury and onemore from the reaming ones by the televoters. This second one is much better than last night's first one. Or at least more interesting. My top favorite is Adam, followed closely by Kallay Saunders and Benji. I hope they qualify, propably with the fan favorite Totova aka Gabi & co.  Watch live here from 19.30 CET Ádám Szabó – Together Benji – Karcok Gabi Tóth & Freddie Shuman feat. Begi Lotfi – Hosszú idők Kállay Saunders Band – 17  (televote favoritr) Leander Kills – Élet Mrs Columbo – Frozen King Peet Project – Kill Your Monster Roma Soul – Nyitva a ház Zavodi + Olivér Berkes – #háttérzaj

UPDATE: This has been postboned due the tragic bus accident of Hungarian students in Italy UPDATE2: This originally second heat will now be the third heat. And for this blogger there's one song above all the rest.... . Hungary continues it's search for the perfect Eurovision entry tonight. A strong line up again tonight, this blogger is hoping Benjámin and Joci get through. Joci is kinda hypnotic really, beats Totova's ethnic vibe easily! As usual the jury will send their top-5 to the semifinals, while televoters can save another one from the drop outs and for the rest it's game over this year. 19.30 CET here or here Benjámin Pál – Father’s Eyes  (37) Enikő Muri – Jericho  (36) Gigi Radics – See It Through  (43) Joci Pápai – Origo  (41) Kyra Fedor – Got To Be A Day  (34) Orsi Sapszon – Hunyd le szemed  (37) Soulwave – Kalandor  (34) televote winner The Couple – Vége van  (38) Totova – Hosszú idők  (41) Z...

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
