Hungary returned to the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 after seven years of absence, with the song "Forogj, világ!", performed by Nox. The song is written by Attila Valla and composed by Szabolcs Harmath.
Eurovíziós Dalfesztivál was the Hungarian national selection that selected Hungary's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2005.
Competing entries[]
MTV received 37 entries during a submission period. A five-member jury evaluated the received submissions and the twelve selected artists and songs were announced on 9 March 2005.[1]
Final[]
The final was held on 13 March 2005, organised by MTV and hosted by Tünde Nagy. Twelve songs competed and the winner was chosen in two rounds of voting. In the first round, a public televote selected the top four songs which proceeded to the second round, the superfinal. In the superfinal, the winner was selected by a five-member jury panel who each assigned scores to each superfinalist ranging from 1 to 10.
Due to missing the 2004 contest, Hungary had to compete in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2005. In the semi-final they performed 15th, following Romania and preceding Finland. Hungary qualified to the final, placing 5th in the semi-final and scoring 167 points.[2] In the final they performed first, preceding the United Kingdom, and placed 12th in the final, scoring 97 points.[3]
The spokesperson who revealed Hungary's votes for other countries was model and MTV host Zsuzsa Demcsák.[4] The commentators during the Contest's broadcast were Zsuzsa Demcsák, András Fáber, and Dávid Szántó.
