This is the first time I care about the contest, because I really like the Hungarian singer who will take part. Here you can read about her.

I can tell you that she is great, because I have already heard her singing a song in a concert, and I was crying.

She must have a beautiful soul.

By the way she is a great fan of rock. \m/

I'm not asking you to keep your fingers crossed for her, because everyone of us has a singer from his or her own country. I just want to tell you that I'm worried for her. Not because I would be afraid that she makes a mistake or something, because I think she is pretty strong and she will do her best. I mean that if she won't be understood and honorated enough, her not very old popularity could decrease drastically. I think this contest is a milestone in her career.

What about the contestants from your countries? Do you like them?

Haven't even heard the representative of my country.

I'm obviously not very enthusiastic about the whole ordeal. When we win, I'll rampage through the streets naked shouting 'Hallelujah', but I'll worry about that bridge when I cross it.

The contest is treated very much as a joke over here - an enjoyable joke, but still a joke.

Let me tell you this: The UK entry is just plain abysmal!!

You have my full permission to laugh at it and ridicule it, no probs. - the whole of the UK will be doing the same

Lucy, I'll look out for Magdi - I'll even cross my fingers for her!!

And of course I'll watch, coz it's in Helsinki and that'll remind me of my trip there! Finland is ace and is full of fantastic people!!

Thank you very much.

May it sound stupid, but I believe that this way we can even help her.

By the way I've found an interview where they asked her the same question I wrote, and she answered this, revealing her personality:

Quote

Given your successes so far within Hungary, and the popularity which you enjoy, do you feel there is any kind of risk for your career if the worst happens and your song did not qualify from the semi final?

Magdi: Well, there is always risk in life, but I like challenges and i will face them.

Well, the best way to help her is to vote for her! So if she's good I promise I will!

Hey Lucy,

I give the same promise as Sirius.

Cheers!

Hey Lucy, I promise that ...

... Man! I'm in North America, I cannot vote (I don't even know what the heck is Eurovision and how to vote). I'll wish her luck anyway

Lucy · « **Reply #7 on:** May 09, 2007, 08:10:16 pm »

I didn't know that I can vote!

So if she's good she already has three NTSMS votes!

Thank you guys (Alu included).

People can't vote for their own country...

...so you'll have to go abroad to vote for her

PS Please, please don't vote for UK

Eurovision is... evil.

You are lucky that you don't know what it is! But still, I will watch....

MAGDI IS A FINALIST!!!!!

Congrats, Lucy!

I wasn't able to watch, I was working at that time, but I hope to catch the final.

Cheers!

Congrats Lucy!

I usually don't like the Spanish Eurovision song... or I simply HATE IT. Sometimes the song is the contrary of what I like, and I pray to Notessomes it ends the last song of the contest. This year... I simply don't know which song is

I'll check if I can hear it (youtube?).

Past year entered in the competition Andorra, who sang in Catalan: as it's almost impossible for the Spanish be in Catalan, Andorra did it (there are two official languages in Andorra: Catalan and French). But they didn't pass to the final. I have to say that the song was not fantastic, but this is another story... at least I did't hate it

TI heard the Andorran song for this year, and it's not bad at all... although it's not a great song (very very very young performers of it!).

Now, I have to check 3 songs:

-Magdi, to see if I like it as much as Lucy.

-Spanish song, to see if I hate it as much as usual.

-Andorra, to know if it has reached the final.

At the end, I know I won't remember when the contest is, and I'll have to check in internet for the winner

Luth · « **Reply #14 on:** May 11, 2007, 09:21:35 am »

And I add: I've heard both Hungarian and Spanish song. About Magdi, it's a great song! It's not my genre at all, but she performs it beautifully, and the song itself is very good. I've seen the clip, and I liked it a lot too... very original and moving!

And I've seen the Spanish too... this time I don't hate it to death. I simply hate it and want it to loose the contest as bad as it can

Lucy · « **Reply #15 on:** May 11, 2007, 09:46:58 am »

Hey, thank you, Luthy!

Sorry to say that, but Andorra didn't make it to the final.

Luth · « **Reply #16 on:** May 11, 2007, 09:50:13 am »

I had to imagine that, don't worry

Markus · « **Reply #17 on:** May 11, 2007, 10:02:08 am »

Then what do I get for not voting for Spain?

Luth · « **Reply #18 on:** May 11, 2007, 10:06:04 am »

Plenty of coffee for all your life!!!!!

Markus · « **Reply #19 on:** May 11, 2007, 10:28:00 am »

This is a start, I guess.

And what's in it for me if I don't recommend the Spanish song to all of my friends and acquaintances?
