Hungary HUNGARY 2014 - András Kállay-Saunders - Running

[VikingTiger]

What makes these songs special is the sincerity and how achingly beautiful they are. I can't find this in "Running".

I agree to that. The song does not touch me. And not even being a bit fan of the composition and melody itself; Hungary is found a bit down on my list. But that fact, for me, is not due to the lyrics.
And should Hungary win the whole thing; it would not be the worst winner in reasent years, and not the one farthest down my list either...
And I could DEFINITELY live with planning a trip to Budapest 2015!

 

[Grinch]

Quite good.

 

[Scooby]

Don't know why but this song just don't touch me,. It's clear this is good song and Andras is good singer, but something is missing. For some music video this ong is perfect, but for live performance, I don't think so.

The bookies do not agree with you doubters......Ladbrokes have dropped Andras from 20-1 to 12-1.....he has MOMENTUM!!!

 

[i anixi]

I think it's all looking very good and polished, except... his eternal toilet face!
I think this is the real simple detail that detracts me from this song when all's said and done. Can't believe him. Shame, really cause apart from that, everything's pretty good.

Well as I said before, he's ticking all the boxes to do well. The staging is impressive and Andras himself will be eye candy for many people. I really don't want a song that leaves me so cold to win though. If you're singing such lyrical content, there has got to be some weight, some depth behind it.

Not many people will probably care or notice the things that are off-putting to me. They'll just watch it and think "cool pop song".

Impression of second rehearsal: András Kállay-Saunders - Running (official Eurovision TV Hungary)

 

[LalehForWD]

Rounding off the day is Hungary and Andras Kallay-Saunders. This is reminiscent of the A Dal final performance, but it's looking a bit more impressive on the bigger stage. This is looking like a definite contender at this point - it's a strong performance, and vocally very impressive. A great way to round off a long day of rehearsals!

From the arena....
Hungary is looking great in the hall, especially during the choruses. Surprised they didn't give into the temptation to use some fire in the end, but a surprise still might be in store.

yess
If I were to remain a casual watcher of Eurovision with say at the most 1 play of the online videos, maybe followed Inför Eurovision etc, this song would definitely be my personal pick. I expect Hungary getting lots of votes from Sweden, perhaps even the douze.

Well, there is no song in the world that touches everyone.
It touches me. Not as much as Silent Storm (that one is a masterpiece, in my opinion) but I certainly don't find the lyrics 'empty'. It's a difficult subject, it's 3 minutes and even though the lyrics may be a bit too obvious, it conveys the message..and I'd rather have a winner who, at least, tries to talk about something important than a winner with a song with an excellent melody and a bunch of words that, essentially, mean nothing.

 

[Galandar]

Although it is a little difficult task, I really really want him to win xcrossed Budapest 2015 would be fantastic

 

[bashers]

He's got a great live voice and stage presence in my opinion...he's certainly a looker. I think the choreography will look better on screen on the night although I think they're could have been some kind of staging she has to climb/run away from the daddy to make it even more obvious! But hey...for me, it's top 3!

 

[CPV4931]

Great second rehearsal yesterday :-) The song is only at #20 in my ranking but Hungary will end in top 5 with it imo.

 

[lilka]

Still a possible winner after the 2nd rehearsal!

 

[Romeo]

The 2nd rehearsal was AMAZING!

I think we should be considering Budapest 2015

 

[rayoflight55]

he's certainly a looker.

Oh yeah !

 

[Milos-BC]

Everything is working perfectly here. Top 5 guaranteed

 

[greece]

Hm.. should I give a second chance to this although singer's vocals are bad?? In the studio version it is pretty good I think
