(Hungary) Magdi RÚZSA - Unsubstantial Blues

Magdi RÚZSA (performer)

Magdi RÚZSA, the 21 year-old Hungarian girl from Kishegyes (near the Hungarian border in Serbia) was discovered in 2006 thanks to the televised pop idol contest Megastar in Hungary. She grew up in her hometown and studied in Subotica as a maternity nurse. After the high school, she wanted to go to Medical University, but as she could not afford it she decided to try her luck at the pop idol contest. Thus the smallest child of the family made her way to Budapest… and then the story began.

What happened to Magdi from this moment on was a real fairytale. The very first appearance in the series predestined her to be the winner, from week to week more and more people fell in love with her true, passionate, unique voice. The whole industry praised her and claimed her to be the biggest happening in the last 30 years. She was singing like her big favourite Janis JOPLIN.

After winning the competition, her cover album with the performed songs in the finals went to triple platinum status and has sold to date around 80 000 copies. Her first artist album Ördögi Angyal (Devilish Angel) was released on her birthday (28th November) and has sold 36,000 copies until today with only one video. These two records were the biggest selling releases in 2006 in Hungary. It was therefore no surprise that Magdi was voted New Talent of the Year, and therefore she has the chance to represent Hungary at the Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki, 2007. She picked her own song Unsubstantial Blues, in order to show her fantastic voice and express her emotions.

We all wish her good luck and hope that after conquering the Hungarian music lovers, she can show her extreme talent to a European audience.

    she has a beautiful voice, wouldn’t be surprised if she goes far in the competition.

  2. Hunky May 9

    Very annoying voice. She should quit singing before it gets worse.

  3. Morningguy May 9

    Hunky check your ears!

    i just keep thinking about the song “hopelessly devoted to you”, from Grease…http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1814687445

  6. Antonio May 10

    Ennuyeuse et nécessite une protection orriculaire avec sa voix de canard…il n’y a pas que l’amour qui manque de substance!

    Boring and protection device for the ears is a must given her duck-like voice…not only love is unsubstantial!

  7. skoobeedoo May 10

    Beth Orton is hungarian? I don’t think so.

  8. hip69, Bulgaria May 11

    I love blues… but this song is ridiculous!!!

  9. Mr. 10 May 11

    Well this song and her voice should not be in this competition. Because you cant compare her she so good! Its a insult to her to be in this competition and compet with the talentless rest.

  10. B May 11

    Song isn’t that good, but i like her janis joplinisque voice.

  11. Kriszu May 12

    I really think that Magdi is the most talented performer in the competition. I hope she’s gonna win it! This song may not be the best choice though, anyway, I’m so f’ing proud of U Magdi, no matter what happens!

    (Kriszu, Hungary :)

  12. Magdi Fan May 12

  13. Zsena May 12

  14. KG May 13

    She should have won this competition! Her voice is great! The top 5: Serbia, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Belarus… There were lots of better songs but the whole USSR voted for them. Ukraine is the 2nd… That wasn’t even music! It’s not fair.

    Greetings

    She is Hungarian.

  19. Antidote May 13

    She’s Hungarian, even if she was born in Serbia. You should be ashamed. Wash your mouth out with soap.

    Congratulations Magdi RÚZSA!

  20. zed May 13

    poison… you are totally stupid :/

    pityesz said right the historical facts.

  21. QnRA May 13

    She was born in Vojvodina (part of Serbia now). Magdi has very good voice and her english pronunciation is awesome, but i think that song wasn’t the best for Eurovision (thought it’s has a lot of quality)

    And btw: poison is one big ass with no respect to anyone, dont even bother to read his comments

  22. poison May 13

    Sorry guys, I’m a pathetic fool. I just forgot to take my pills (prozac) today, so sorry. Congratulations Magdi.

  23. lori May 13

    Grat Magdi–klasz volt

  24. Rita May 13

    Magdi, nagyon büszkék vagyunk Rád!! ügyes voltál!! ez a verseny a nemzetek közti kapcsolatról szól, nem a tehetségről!
    ha a gagyi Ukrajna a második, akkor ez a verseny Neked nem téma!
    üdv

  25. Bee May 13

    Gratulálok Magdinak!! Független attól, hogy szeretem a hangját, vagy sem, klassz amit elért!!
    Azt viszont nagyon sajnálom, hogy egy nemzetközi weblapon is bunkózni kell, ráadásul angolul, hogy mindenki értse, ugye poison? Iszonyat primitív vagy.

  26. Anita May 13

    Abszolút igazad van Bee!

    Drága Magdi !

    Isten éltessen és áldjon meg Téged, mindazért amit tettél
    miértünk (is). A Jóisten nem véletlenül adta neked talentum-
    ként ezt a “gyémánt-torkot”. Engedd meg, hogy kiragadjak egy
    képet, amit a kamera a kulisszák mögött vett fel- míg Te
    énekeltél- édesanyádról. Lecsukott szemmel, imára kulcsolt
    kézzel állt ott külön. Az a kép számomra mindent elmondott.
    A másik “aprócska” megjegyzés, hogy bárki is találta ki,
    de nagyon sokatmondó volt a trikódon a felirat és a Mária
    kép. Büszke vagyok, hogy egy nemzetnek lányai lehetünk.
    Adják meg neked az Égiek, mindazokat a szépségeket és
    jóságokat, amelyekre van vágyakozásod!
    Vigyázzanak Rád életed minden pillanatában!
    Igaz szeretettel : Salamon Kata Budapestről
