Kati's 22nd - toughts

And the show is over. Congratulations Azerbaijan and the Top 10 and Germany for the organisation! It will be interesting next year in Baku. I think Kati gave her best. I never heard this song from her with so good vocals. She did everything what she could. But there's always the diaspora voting and I think Hungary doesnt have many friends around Europe. We had a great song, at the end we had a great performance. Yes, there were better performances and songs, but with this song and performance we definetely would have deserved a top10 place. But that's how it is. So I don't think we should participate next year. We can't afford to have some Swedish or USA producer to write the song and pay millions of $s for the performance. The new voting system with the national jury's clearly didn't change the diaspora voting. Don't get me wrong I'm not bitter or jealous. I'm just dissapointed, but I think Azerbaijan had a really good song this year. I'm just saying that Hungary would be better off investing our money into something that's worth it. For example sports events. Last year the European Swimming Championship was in Budapest. I was there it was great, really great. We won more gold medals and lots of other medals and the organisation was a success. Hungarian people are in general pessimists and lot of them have depression. I don't think we need more dissapointments. And we're not dissapointed in Kati at all!!! I am personally really proud of her and I think it didn't depend on her. I'm dissapointed in Hungary's situation. So in my opinion Hungarian people need some success. We should stick to what we're good at: science and sports. We're good at music also, for example who on Earth doesn't know Liszt or Kodály. We're just not lucky or liked enough in other countries. I'm still young and I hope it can all change and we won't have young Hungarians deciding to leave the country and never come back. Because lot of them do. But at least we have the good news: we can organise the 2014 European Water Polo Champoionship. That's the sport where we're the best in the world. We won the last 3 Olympics with the Men's Team in a row.

If MTV decides to participate next year and sends a song that could have even the smallest chance, I will be here and I will start a new blog. So check in next year and see if there's a post with the new URL.

Thanks for reading the blog and watching my videos! Have a nice summer!

If you really like her or her song than please use the time and vote for her. You can vote from the beginning of the show, wich means we have a lot of time voting for her since she has starting position 5.

I subtitled the Hungarian tv show  'Eurovision- Heading for Düsseldorf!', which aired 06.05. 2011. Éva Novodomszky welcomes former Hungarian Eurovision participants. They chat about their experience and Kati's chances and we also can see some reports from Düsseldorf! This is part 1 I plan to subtitle 2 parts each day until the semi-final on Tuesday. So today, you can watch part 1 and 2, tomorrow, part 3 and 4, and on Monday I'll upload part 5 and the final part, part 6. 

We began the countdown for the first semi-final today! 

Kati is the favorite of the Germans

During her second press conference today, Kati received an award. The host of the Dortmund Radio gave her the award, which she received for being the favorite of German radio's audience of the 43 participating acts. The radio's listeners could vote and the most of them voted for Kati. Thank you Germany, we're all very happy!!! 

Rock version?

No, not really. Kati performed the Hungarian version on the Hungarian night show: Esti Showder with Sándor Fábry. It aired last night, but they shot it 2 weeks ago.

It's a little different from the previous versions. Enjoy!

That's how you party!

Here's a video about some of the other nights in Düsseldorf. That's how you party!

Kati's second rehearsal - Updated

Guys, I'm more excited with every day. In my opinion, she nailed it today. I don't say that just because I'm Hungarian. I had my problems with the first one and I always tought during X Factor that she's a little bit shaky. But she's been prooving me wrong since then. We all heard her first performance on the press conference, as they announced the Hungarian entry. Since then she's getting better and better. Now, I really believe in her, not that I didn't belive her erlier, I just had my doubts. Please, let her show our support by picking up our phones or sending an sms for her and vote. I think she absolutely deserves it. I don't care if she wins it or not, for me she proved that she can do it. Now, it's all up to Europe. If they love it we'll be happy, if not, then it's ok. We will still have her. That was my opinion. Please, let me know yours. I really am curious.

Here's the video from ESCDaily, check in later for more videos!

Kati's second rehearsal

Kati is going to have her second rehearsal tomorrow, it begins:

11 a.m.CET 

So check in tomorrow for the videos from it. Hopefully, we will have some new interviews with Kati as well. I hope it goes well. Kati's daughter and husband are going to leave Düsseldorf tomorrow, so Kati is focusing on the contest more and more.

Do you wanna try Kati's dish?

Kati gave an interview for Oikotimes. They asked her abaout the interview on Radio international (Watch the interview on my youtube channel!). Kati promised there, if she wins, she will cook something Hungarian for the guys. In this interview she told us what dish it could be: the Hungarian beef stew. If you'd like to try it, here's the recipe:

(recipe from: spicy.hu, where you can find more about Hungarian dishes)

Here are the videos which are my surprise for you. Check them out below!

Army of interviews

A lot of people wanted to speak to Kati form press. I collected some of their interviews:

I'm working on a surprise for you guys, so check in later!

Part 2.

Kati's first rehearsal

Kati sang well in my opinion, but there were some shaky notes. Someone from the backing vocals was to high. I think if the crew can work on that we will have no problem. Then it's all up to the viewers and voters. 

You can check out the official photos here!
There is already a video up from ESCDaily, but from that camera angle I had a weard feeling with the staging. But now, after watching the HQ pics, I have a different opinion.
Here's the escdaily.com video:

And here's the official video:


I think it will get better and better. If you heard Kati's previous performances you can hear the improvement. So I'm staying positive. Yes, it's not there yet, but it'll be. Please share your opinion! You can criticise, of course, if it's legit, but haters filled up with pure envy or I don't know what can stay away.

Kati's first rehearsal is today!

As I already wrote it yesterday, Kati will have her first rehearsal today:

Hungary>>> rehearsal: 13.40 - 14.20 h >>> and press conference: 15.05 - 15.45 h (CET)
On the Facbook of EurovisionHungary there's a post saying, the whole crew arrived safely to Düsseldorf, Kati as well. They are leaving the hotel for the Arena at 10 A.M. CET today. Hopefully we will have some video blogs form Atilla Vízi, the Hungarian cameraman, who already had a great video blog during the World Cup last year. If it's something that you'd be intrested in, I'll try to subtitle it.
The first one is introducing the Hungarian volunteers, so it's nothing interesting for you.

I'll post here all of the Hungarian rehearsal videos and hopefully the press conference videos today, so you can find everything about kati in one place.
Everyone send some great energy for Kati, so that her rehearsal should go well!

First day of rehearsals

Today, the contestants of the first semi-final's first part will take the stage and by tonight we will have the first impressions. There are lot of big ESC sites on the spot, who post pictures and videos. So we can follow everything that's happening in Düsseldorf. Today the program looks like this:

For example ESCDaily.com has a webcam stream all day from 10 CET to 18:30 CET. They are streaming from the press centre. You can chat with other viewers and with the guys of ESCDaily. You can check it out here!
