Magdi Rúzsa - Unsubstantial Blues (Hungary) Live 2007 Eurovision Song Contest

Magdi Rúzsa represented Hungary at the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki with the song Unsubstantial Blues

[@stimfalc]

No explosions, no fireworks....just pure singing! Great stuff!

[@jamesmt142]

Salvador Approved

[@koenroels4549]

The day it was still About good vocals and good music. Look at the last eurovision, that was bad. Realy bad music.

[@GeorgeAustinTay]

Only 9th place for this masterpiece??? This deserved to be top 3 along with Serbia and Georgia.

[@wackomagneto3009]

I agree with you as well. :) Serbia, Georgia and this little gem.

[@DentalFlan]

@Different 1 How could Verka get more points than every song except Molitva? Yeah sure, Dancing Lasha Tumbai is good but there is like 20 better songs than Ukraine.

[@evanthorn408]

well hungary doesn't quite have the ally countries than other countries have with each other (uk and ireland, the nordics...) so no matter how well they do, they don't always have the relationship between others that solidifies points

[@thedumbone2230]

It's borring

[@koenroels4549]

@@thedumbone2230 whats boring about great bluesy soul feel? 😃

[@burningisis]

She truly understands the Blues. This performance reminds me of an intimate club or smoke filled bar, just nursing the same drink for hours to enjoy the local live musician. This song is a real treasure.

[@BillHFA]

I agree 100% and love the song! I should just point out it's an intimate club or smoke filled bar, with a bus stop right in the middle... :)

[@adriansmith6124]

This song is the reason I got into Eurovision. It's not only a wild and fun party, but man, it has some incredibly serious and beautiful music.

[@laki991srb]

This is one of the best ESC songs ever!!! I'm from Serbia and I remember voting for it like a maniac... Guess who was the happiest man when Serbia gave Hungary 12pts that year (beside Maria's victory)... Thank you Hungary for having such an amazing artist... pure emotion!!! Hugs and kisses neighbours

[@vladd896]

Laki Srb by the way she was born in Serbia (Vojvodina part)

[@DK-fp3hw]

A lot of people will say it is boring but in my opinion this is just BEAUTIFUL. Magdi has great vocal abilities! ❤

[@aleksanderpagels288]

And great composing abilities, she composed the song herself, that's piano, drums, guitar and bass all by her!!

[@kylock]

Anyone in 2020? I was 18 in 2007, this blew away my tiny mind, always come back. Brill voice,

[@СараДивер-ю6ы]

Не помню уж сколько мне было лет , но, я до сих пор помню своё потрясение этой песней

[@XaniaKorinec]

It's 2024 and I remember this song at least once a year. That's a great song and I love it in Hungarian as well

[@xdddd1633]

OMG look at her hand at 02:10. I can't imagine what it feels like singing in front of the whole world, I would freak out. You can see she is really nervous and still she manages to sing perfectly. This woman has all my respect.

[@alexk.2332]

I don't think the reason why she is nervous is only because she sings in front of a public! I think it is because the tension she had, when she sang some moments before!

[@kaiosantos2976]

Actually it's in front of the whole Europe

[@Kian-ww2hi]

@@kaiosantos2976 it’s not because a lot of countries outside europe broadcast it

[@ancaporav8121]

One of the best vocal moments from ESC history! She should been on 3rd place that year!

[@aleksanderpagels288]

Why not 1st

[@kokokokita533]

Best vocal moment in the history of a singing contest than only 3rd place? You are contradicting yourself.

[@MikkaZKitka]

I hope You and your loved ones are still alive and healthy! Wish to turn back time and save you all! God is with You all! Wishing all the best to Turkey !

[@Euroviking86]

Fabulous! So emotional and powerful. I mean, that performance is just too big for words. An absolute masterpiece, and Hungary's best song since 1994. Should've been in winning contention.

[@rafadydkiemmacha7543]

I still catch myself singing this song unconsciously from time to time ❤

[@voloshanca]

I'm getiing goosebumps all over my body when she starts screaming! I think this is what a mastered skill of delivering an emotion looks like! This woman!

[@violeryn]

Still can't understand, how this song did not win in 2007... such a true gem 🧡

[@AnonYmus02Gaming]

Still one of my favourite Eurovision enrties

[@EmreninDunyas1]

She was 2nd in the semi-final but 9th on the final, why? Along with Ukrainian entry, it was just an unbelievable!!! Greetings to our Hunnic brothers from Türkiye/Törökorszag ! 🇹🇷

[@GergoMarosvari]

Tesekkür ederim Hun kardesler! :)

[@jesemepardens9151]

Because of the unfair rule during which the top ten from the last year gets automatically qualified... Hopefully it lasted only 4 years

[@jamesmt142]

If ever there was a Salvador Sobral-approved Eurovision song, this is surely it.

[@marko66mark]

Beautiful. One of the best esc songs.... ever! Both Magdolna and her voice are stunning!

[@jorval8223]

OMG! I've never heard this song before... I'm crying, it's beautiful! ❤

[@IzayoiArwena]

Pleasant, a nice retro style of 60s-70s. Like Janis Joplin.

[@MrsKoldun]

Best Hungarian entry, followed my Kedvesem. Great songs! ❤️

[@JackWalker12993]

I love this song, a real break-up entry and Magdi performed brilliantly with her rough wonderful vocals and put so much emotion in it. You know the Scandinavians have great taste in music when they all gave Hungary high marks in both semifinal and final that year.

[@hscorner3829]

Absolute masterpiece with gorgeous staging and atmosphere and near flawless vocals. The best entry from '07 without a doubt.

[@yasinonur4756]

like a rock song from 80's i really like it

the best song from hungary so far

[@suzy1207]

Magdinak ez a stilus a legjobb!! Most is ilyeneket kéne énekelnie,sokkal jobban illik a hangjához...! Érthetetlen hogy nem nyert ezzel!

[@hafizhwk5092]

The fact that this song could be in the top 3 under the 50-50 system just pisses me off, she deserved that

[@selcukyalcin1907]

In those years, we were very important to Eurovision in Turkey and I was fascinated when I listened to this song live.

[@СараДивер-ю6ы]

Сколько лет прошло , а я до сих пор помню , как я была потрясена этой песней .

[@S6brapoiss_Tupsu]

I remember as a kid this song brought me Car movie vibes and it was my favorite movie so i loved this song and still am.

[@ritarevesz1866]

Ezt a számot magyarul kelett volna énekelnie a magyar nyelv különlegesebbé tette volna. Egyébként ez volt szerintem is a legjobb dal amit kiküldtünk ever❤️

[@quarrelmate]

A Megasztár válogatóján 2006-ban már énekelte magyarul - a TV2 le is adta -, márpedig az esc szabályai szerint olyan dal nem szerepelhet a programban, amit több mint fél évvel az esc előtt hivatalosan megjelentettek, vagy nyilvánosan előadtak. Ezért kellett angolra átírni, bár még így is problémázott rajta az EBU, de aztán mégis elfogadta.

[@nyro7569]

Hidd el angolul sokkal jobb, mivel mindenki erti mirol is szol a Dal. Magyarul nem kapott volna ilyen jo helyezest,

[@Eth1994]

I bet if there had been juries in 2007, this song would've probably been in the top 5.

[@VioletDidi]

Best Hungarian entry ever. So special.

[@esctalk]

If you think this is boring you need to seek help.. this is if anything too good for Eurovision and prob should have ended up in the top 5 at least..

[@eurositi]

The only ESC song from this century that is still stuck in my head. Bad taste sent this melodic blues ballad into oblivion.

[@Choedron]

This song is one of the best ever Eurovision songs ever made. I still do not understand why it did not win back in 2007 - and why so few could see the quality of it. It should have won instead of 9th place. I still listen to it today from time to time (2024). I hardly never listen to any other Eurovision songs. The winner was OK - with all due respect to Marija Šerifović, who is a really good singer. But this song was just way better and Magdi has an incredible voice and way to interpret the story of the song.

[@MaryMast95]

I love this song!! 2024 and I still listen it

[@Sirtep2k]

Proud of this girl from Kishegyes!
