It's actually my personal favorite, too. But I believe this one really comes down to whether or not the audience and juries will connect with the song. It just feels like if you're not in the "right" mood, the song may just appeal to you that night. Cheerful songs tend to win over hearts quicker than darker songs. But there is always hope, the fact that the singer is really good looking certainly won't hurt its chances.

Hmmm, I don't think this will win and I feel pretty sure about it. My prediction is that this can't be staged in a way that it convinces people to vote (because the song alone is not one that a majority will vote for, I don't feel it happening), and that it will be just another 'good, nicely sounding and looking Eurovision act' that the viewers will see in Eurovision week. So my gut feeling tells me no Budapest 2015, sorry. Yeah I'm very sure about this....:oops:

After seeing the hype here about this song and how high grades it has been given, i was totally counting on it to be very good, or atleast good, it was neither :( Below mediocre pop song withouth a catchy chorus to hook ppl in, i doubt this will win in eurovision, just to forgettable.

Just letting you know that it's not just here. Hungary is doing great in all online polls and in betting odds, too. I think that after all songs are available to vote for, Hungary will still be in the top 5.

Mediocre songs have made top 5 before, so its more then possible, just doubt this will win, imo ofc ;)

I'd be amazed if this does not make the Top 5....the last song with the word "Running" in the title did rather better than predicted.....!!!

I am not sure what to think of Hungary 2014. I am not especially fond of the song myself. Especially not the "running-running-running" part, that kind of annoys me. I dont find this very catchy, nor sophisticated. It is a pretty universal, contemporary - but again; I am not a fan of this particular song.
On the positive side is the fact that I do like the singers voice.
I see that a lot of people in here really like this. Well, I guess I can see why (unlike Armenia); and I must admit that a great result for Hungary would very welcome!

...and I am still rating this song a 5 - so out of my top 10. I have given quite a few songs the same mark this year; not very good, not very bad...

It sounds like a mainstream charts song for me. Good, but not amazing. I like the refrain, but not those wailing verses. They do not fit well to each other, if you ask me. Top 5 ok, if need be, but there are better songs in the field this year.
