You Will Survive

The first ESC aspirant of Hungary was Andrea Szulák with Árva Reggel (Lonely morning) in 1993. Now she is a host at Hungarian Television and a successful singer. This year Andrea was member of the internal jury of MTV. At the party Andrea addressed a song to her little bit anxious successor. Andrea and Zoli’s vocalists, Kasai and Gábor Heincz performed I Will Survive in an unplugged version.

Kasai is a Caribbean-American pianist, who has been living in Hungary for a long time, he is the lyricist of Dance With Me as well. Gábor Heincz “Biga” is also a musician, he plays guitar. Both of them could prove to have amazing voices during the farewell party when they sang Dance With Me - in jazz style.

Fortune Pigs

You need three important things as provisions – said Mr Attila Várkonyi Editor in Chief of MTV’s Entertainment Programmes. A lot of energy, so we give you Russian chocolate to have energy for the strict rehearsals. A lot of luck, so we give you Hungarian hand-made Marzipan Fortune Pigs. And last but not least, a lot of optimism, although you did your best to achieve a good result. So you get a bottle of Russian Champagne to clink with it whatever to be in Moscow.

Russian Good Luck

“Ни пуха, ни пера!”– Mr Valery Platonov Cultural Attaché at the Embassy of Russian Federation in Budapest felicitated the Hungarian performers on the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest with this old Russian phrase. He said Russian people are very proud of organizing this huge event in Moscow. Mr Platonov added: they will invite Zoli Ádok and his team again with pleasure if Hungarians win the contest.

Hungary said goodbye to Zoli Ádok

Hungarian performers are ready for the 54th Eurovision Song Contest. The skilled dancer and singer Zoli, his dancers and vocalists have been rehearsing for two months in strictest confidence and they still regard their final choreography and dresses as a secret.

MTV Hungarian Television organized a Good Bye Party in honour of Zoli Ádok and his great team in the Russian Culture Centre of Budapest on 29th April when the friends, fans and journalists could wish them good luck.

Naray's Russian Collection: Winter Palace

Luxurious richness and closed form design of the pravo-slavic tsars’ culture is blossomed out in a modern interpretation: empire waistline, fine materials and ornaments like a jewel – with these words Naray described his Russian collection called “Winter Palace” which was presented in his last fashion show. The world tour collection itself has been inspired by a travelling, and the most successful tour was the Russian one.

Tamas Naray and his Eurovision Song Contest

Tamas Naray is a maximalist and uncompromising man. That is why the well-known designer also pays huge attention to the Hungarian Eurovision dresses. Besides of creating glamorous costumes we also have to focus on the feeling of this up-tempo song – says Naray. Our performers should manage to show the best in these costumes – he adds. As costume designer of the European champion figure skater Julia Sebestyen, he exactly knows what kind of dresses meet all of these extreme requirements.

Although Naray is a well-recognized designer in the European fashion world he regards this task as a great challenge. We have only three minutes to catch 200 million viewers’ attention. Costumes also can play an important role in it – he claims.
