Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

After three heats and two semifinals it's time for the A Dal final. Eight songs have made it this far thanks to jury and televoters. This time the jury picks up four songs to the superfinal, and then televoters alone pick up the winner among these. Biggest favorites seem to be Freddie, Kállay Saunders band and Petruska. If Hungarians feel ethnic vibe we have also Gergö Oláh to consider.... Either of these winning will put Hungary again in the winning battle. Below are the finalists in my order. I wil be very happy with any of the three first, fourth is fine, fifth is great on studio version but live was rather weak. The rest.... no way.  Freddie -  Pioneer Gergö Oláh -  Gyöz a jó Kalláy Saunders Band -  Who we are Petruska - Trouble in my mind Olivér Berkes & Andi Tóth -  Seven seas Mushu - Uncle Tom Parno Graszt -  Már nem szédulök André Vásáry - Why

Hungarian A Dal has its first semifinal tonight after three heats where six songs qualified for the final. Now we are down to 18 and nine will be heard tonight, this time three songs will be saved by the jury, and one of the remaining ones by the televoters. In this one we have the winners of Semifinals 2 and 3, three runner ups and no one saved by televoters). My picks are easy: Gergö, Karmapolis, Kállay Saunders and Petruska without doubt.  B The First – You Told Me That You Loved Me (4th in SF 3) Benji – Kötéltánc (2nd in SF 1) Gergő Oláh – Győz a jó (2nd in SF 2) 2nd Karmapolis & Böbe Szécsi – Hold On To (5th in SF 2) Kállay Saunders Band – Who We Are (winner of SF2) 3rd Mushu – Uncle Tom (3rd in SF1) televoters Petruska – Trouble In My Mind (winner of SF3) 1st Reni Tolvai – Fire (5th SF1) Szilvia Agárdi – It Is Love (2nd in SF3)
