The Orban government seems to be losing popularity. Could that mean... they will come back to the ESC soon?

Well... I was watching every round when they were broadcasted live and they were pissing me off with almost every episode. I'm also not a big fan of the form of this contest, because we are having original songs just once - in quarterfinals. Semis with changing styles are 90% abomination and how the hell ppl should vote in that - for song in original form or this horrendous performaces? Also final with orchestra... Hmmm, ok, live instruments can only level it up but they are all losing chance to make a proper staging (look at this year, almost all final performances are elegant standing form with visuals cause they were left no space).

Back to songs. I can put my whole ranking but probably not many interested, so in short...
* Winner? Not a bad song, like 4/10 in original form and in final round they looked the best on stage (it fits them the most from finalists). If in ESC for me it would be probably borderline in whatever semi, but in reality, be sincere, it will have no chance at all to Q.
* For me the best ones in final were "Kicsikem" (and I will choose that for ESC even if I had different favs in previous rounds) and "Almok".
* The best vocalist there was Adam Szabo. By far. Just listen to him when performing alt version of his song in semi. Many of them were mediocre, not new for A Dal - huge amount of them are struggling every year.
* My favs? B. Nagy Reka and HWA - both strong 9/10. Z!ENEMi also great, like 8/10. Roland Bihal, Szimplan and few more with 7s... In general when the year is with at least half of the songs with mark 5 and more I will say it's a good contest. This was.
* My fav alt version? "Almok" was the best one there when they made an ethno approach to it.
