Hungary in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007
In December 2006, MTV announced that they would be returning to the Eurovision Song Contest after a one-year absence following their withdrawal in 2006 due to financial reasons.[6][7][8] The winner, Magdi Rúzsa, was selected via the public vote and announced during the awards show which took place on 24 February at the Jövő Háza Theater in Budapest and broadcast on m1 as well as online at mtv.hu.[9] Guest performers of the show were Back II Black, Magna Cum Laude, Quimby, Adrien Szekeres and Laci Gáspár, Moby Dick, Sugarloaf, Erős and Spigiboy, Desperado, Ghymes, Tamás Mester, Cotton Club Singers, Tankcsapda and 1998 Hungarian Eurovision entrant Charlie.[12] Controversy later arose that Rúzsa had sung a verse of "Aprócska blues" as part of her audition for the reality television singing competition Megasztár in February 2006, thus violating the Eurovision Song Contest rules stating that "the entries (lyrics and music) must not have been commercially released and/or publicly performed before 1 October 2006".According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country, the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) and the ten highest placed finishers in the 2006 contest are required to qualify from the semi-final on 10 May 2007 in order to compete for the final on 12 May 2007.The Hungarian performance featured Magdi Rúzsa dressed in a white tank top and blue jeans with the stage displaying a bus stop sign where she stood with a suitcase and the LED screens projecting orange designs.
