Perfectly staged too, which I definitely think contributed to the strong result.
Don't worry, it doesn't do anything for me either.Maybe I need some eduvorcation but to me it just PLODS.
Love Shine A Light (Male Vocals version)
I actually think it may be the most forgettable song I have ever heard. I am lying in my bed actively trying to listen to it and I cannot hear a single thing!I have absolutely no recollection of that song. I'm listening to it again now and I still couldn't describe it.
How can you have such strong taste in national final songs yet still hold opinions like this?I don't mind Candlelight. It's certainly not the worst thing the Hungarians have entered.
Oh God, this was absolute shite. To this day I only know her as 'Bus Stop Bitch' because that was literally the only memorable feature of the whole thing.3rd: Magdi Rúzsa - Unsubstantial Blues (85pts)
"Lesbianism - not camp. I don't care it just isn't" - Susan Sontag, 'Notes on "Camp"' (1964)
9th in the 2007 contest, Hungary's best finish of the decade (and an absolutely disgusting second placer in that year's semi), Moopy nonetheless gives this real music toss very short shrift and sends it out packing second last.

He did however, win the Barbara Dex Award.
ScreamHe’s not even a real dancer. Apparently some people tried to use him to cross the street outside the arena and they were killed
Poor Basil shares his clinker with Europe and ends up getting the gays outlawed in North Macedonia.I’m so intrigued by Hungary’s journey from sending THAT to basically making homosexuality illegal a few years later.
I do hope Vasil hasn’t unwittingly sparked a similar rollback in North Macedonia
So I rather like ‘Candlelight’. I stand by my comment that Chiara would honk this into the top ten.4th: Csézy - Candlelight (44pts)
"Many examples of camp are things which, from a "serious" point of view, are either bad art or kitsch. Not all though." - Susan Sontag, 'Notes on "Camp"' (1964)
Considering I was half-convinced heading in that this wasn't going to have a Youtube upload anywhere on the website, I tell you that in my time running this contest, I have not had another moment of being left as AGOG as I was than after receiving @Ill Advised's votes and seeing this got someone's 12. A fair few of you swerved the Hungarian round this time, but even SO... (bless him, to his full credit my astonished response got a real "WHY ARE YOU BOOING? I'M RIGHT" reply of "it's the BEST ONE THERE" )
This came last in its semi with 6 points, and HEAVEN KNOWS the 2008 semis weren't renowned as a HIVE OF QUALITY

It’s so foul, isn’t it? You can imagine her doing it exactly like that at some awful open-mic night (or similar) and then ending up in a interminable conversation with her at the bar about her career (or lack of).Probably in my all-time bottom ten, and the first thing that comes to mind when I think of what a piss-poor contest 2007 was.
Her voice is just SO unpleasant. Who could possibly enjoy hearing it?
This is why @Dark Carnival needs to get a ring on Vasil’s finger as soon as possible.I’m so intrigued by Hungary’s journey from sending THAT to basically making homosexuality illegal a few years later.

I thought he usually preferred fingering as opposed to being fingered?This is why @Dark Carnival needs to get a ring on Vasil’s finger as soon as possible.
What sort of ring?This is why @Dark Carnival needs to get a ring on Vasil’s finger as soon as possible.
EDIT: why can’t I stop mentioning Chiara…
I'm going to call my next dog Conan Osiris so I don't feel bad if it gets run over and horribly killed.OT: I’ve decided just now that my first dog shall be named Chiara
