HUNGARY 2011 - Kati Wolf - What About My Dreams

[BarbaraSmith]

A real contender.

 

[dizzydjc]

This is now my fave - english or not, I love it!!!

 

[gazzerl67]

I think this is a real contender. I'm surprised not to see it higher in the polls. Will need to see if she can hold the notes live

 

[sannerz]

This song is awesome. There needs to be more hype around it!

 

[evilperson]

I think if she nails this vocally with her backings, it will come across very well. The 3 minute version is awesome, they kept all the best parts of the song.

 

[adnar]

English version is ok Hungarian was better but I think for the whole Europe English may sound better than Hungarian

 

[AlekS]

As I've said earlier I'm not a fond of uptempo songs this year because most of them (with few exceptions) carry a zero meaning to me.
As for this one. I hate night clubs, with passion so let's concentarte on her. Celine, Lara, Natasha - positive similarity for me. + I think of Hungary and Hungarian music when I listen to this song - another plus. Possible night club diva image for ESC - huge minus, I'm tired of this, we already have too much commercial ESC crap for teens so puuulease stay unique.
Strong voice and big vocal range -> huge plus for me so I'm wondering about her live perfromance. I give it 7pts for now (not a fond of cheerful songs this year, not in the mood for dancing and feeling happy without a reason).
After the 1st rehearsals I'll open the new poll so maybe I'll change my opinion.

 

[alexa]

Definitely one of the best songs this year!

 

[Israeliboy]

Sounds like a song I heard in the past already :/ And I don't like when such things happen. I feel like I know this song from the past!

 

[damienn]

I like it more and more every time I listen to it, even though I also get the "i've heard this one before, but don't know from where..." feeling

 

[thms]

getting confused by all the different versions.. but for eurovision the english version is the way to go

 

[A-lister]

My speaker is currently off, did she keep any Hungarian at all for the ESC version or full on English now?

If I'm not mistaken, it's all in English.

 

[A-lister]

If I'm not mistaken, it's all in English.

Oh big pity

Well, I can't find my headphones and can't start my speakers now so that's why I couldn't hear.

Oh well. I guess I have to get used to the idea that in Eurovision the only European language soon to be heard is English, such a pity since we've got so many great and different and unique languages in this continent.

I think this is only a phase. Soon enough, English will become so common that a song like Estonia's in 2009 will come along, sounded really mystical, and win the contest. And then it'll become more balanced again.

 

[paddyirl]

It actually translates into English quite well unlike some songs which seem really forced.

It is sad more countries don't live in native languages, look at Molitva, it won and was in Serbian so songs don't have to be in English to win.

 

[balizeg]

Yes she kept one verse in Hungarian, before the last chorus :

Tíz lépés száz lépés távolság kell
Nem számít merre, csak el tőled el
Mit mondhatnék mit mondhatnál elkoptunk rég
Szemeinkből nézd, hova tűnt a fény?

 

[Bojan]

If I'm not mistaken, it's all in English.

wrong.
there's a whole verse in Hungarian.

EDIT: Bali beat me to it

I REALLY hope you're right about that. Somehow it doesn't look good, if the trends continue, already next year there will not be a single entry in non-English.

Juries better get their act together really! :/ I think viewers will generally vote in similar patterns as they've always done, so what the juries are doing are setting the trends.

 

[A-lister]

wrong.
there's a whole verse in Hungarian.

Oh wow! ONE whole verse!!

Well, in a symbolic way it's good I guess.
