The lyrics are not conventional peace song lyrics - no 'saving children of the world' and stuff like that in it... Though I understand the kneejerk reaction to it to a certain extent.

I'm really sorry but this year for my taste Hungary is among the worst, I really dislike everything about it.I'm sorry. :(

The most beautiful thing about Hungary tonight for me were scenes from Budapest in the postcard..that was brilliant, Budapest.. xlove xheart

It's ok. Some people just don't like this kind of a song and no one can do anything about it, you don't have to apologize for that.

Haven't seen the semifinal yet [I was at work :(] but good to hear we have a nice postcard. Thx xheart

I have always thought that Hungary deserved a qualification for its songs.
Pretty, humble, simple and poetical performance. Közsönöm Boggie. I am proud you studied in my country and speak my language perfectly.

I am thrilled with Hungary's qualification. It was my favorite in this Semi and Boggie deserved a spot in the Final. It's a quiet and peaceful song and I just adore it to bits. It was a perfect song to follow Serbia's colorful stage performance. I knew that the juries would go for this and I'm pretty confident that it received a decent amount of televotes as well. Hungary has become one of my favorite countries in Eurovision. I am really, really happy!

This didn't deserve to qualify, anything would be better than this. She took a spot of anyone else, I am not a fan of The Netherlands, but they would have been way better country to qualify.

I'm so glad they qualified instead of certain others that didn't. It's such a wonderful song that can really connect with a lot of different people.

I don't know why anyone would find this boring after their performance or would want them to not qualify. The staging and backdrop were brilliant and I don't think it was cheesy at all. Rather just beautiful. I always thought that the Estonian public would react very well to this and as so much I've seen or heard, that has been the case. They have been the most praised and respected here for sure out of all the acts. If any song and performance has been talked positively about, it's Hungary (Besides Estonia of course). Just like with The Common Linnets last year. I think it's very likely that we might've given Hungary our twelve points in the semi this year combined with the jury votes, a lot of people have even talked about voting for it. In our preview show a couple weeks ago they absolutely loved it as well. No one has thought that it was cliche or anything like that, the opposite rather. I'm sure the message and meaning resonates and connects with people here a lot and we do tend to love honest and calmer songs like this..

The song may be somewhat weak, the lyrics cheesy and all that, but they absolutely nailed the staging if you ask me. Felt it was engaging, pretty and cute and it really sold the song well. Hungary deserves their place in the final.

Acoustic ballad, almost sounded accapella and that made it stand out. Staging was nice, except maybe for the weapons swirling around which looked a bit cheesy.

Really? not cheesy?
What would you then qualify as cheesy?
I mean read this: "war's for nothing", "children are joining the stars" "all the souls all alone hold them tight"
And the worst: "do you know our Earth is a mess" NO, I had no clue! Thank's for telling me! Now THAT explains a lot now! :mrgreen:

But don't get me wrong: I have nothing against cheesy songs - they are the heart of Eurovision, that beats so strongly that you can feel the pulse of it while we march into the bright light of salvation through music! xrofl3

No, honestly now: I don't adore the hungarian entry, but I don't dislike it either. It's pleasant to listen to, if you don't concentrate too much on the lyrics. I wish Boggie best for saturday, she's a very talented, beautiful singer. xrunhug

Hungary grew in confidence live. The result? A qualification to the final when a few people bet on. Deserved.

Tbf, it's a nice song and she has a really good voice. Lovely lady who is very likeable. I would never vote for an entry like this, but I understand why people would

The song has a special place in my heart and I wish I could say that it'll do well. But realistically I am aware that it's not going to happen. I'm thrilled that Boggie qualified and it's in my personal Top 10. The song will not impress the crowds though and flop, I'm afraid.

My prediction: 25th place

I thought she looked a lot more nervous in the final than in the semi.
