Hungary: Back to Square One!
For the second time this year, the act announced to represent Hungary in the Eurovision Song Contest withdraws from the competition. Kátya Tompos, who replaced Márk Zentai, also decided not to go to Moscow with her song Magányos csónak.
Eurovision.tv reports that the record company Sony BMG informed Hungarian Television that Kátya Tompos cannot undertake the performance at the Eurovision Song Contest because of her theatre engagements.
MTV is facing an unexpected situation as it presumed that those candidates submitting an entry really have the intention to participate in the Song Contest and automatically accepted the strict rules of the EBU which were clearly included in the call for applications. MTV regrets the decision of Kátya very much although fortunately there are still some excellent songs among the 105 submissions which are well worth to represent Hungary.
The selection of a new song and artist can be expected later these days taking into consideration all the rules and deadlines of the EBU. The professional jury will listen to the submitted songs again and will then make a new choice for Hungary.

What do you think about the news? Zseda seems to be the most probable applicant but also group Ortisz and solo singer Lola may have chance.
ReplyDeleteZseda would be the best, she resembles Hungary's last year representative Cseyz but Zs is much better however. :)
