A Dal 2015: Kállay-Saunders won’t apply for Hungarian national selection

After placing fifth at Eurovision 2014, Hungary’s Kállay-Saunders promised that he will come back to the competition. And, in recent weeks, he tweeted that he had big decisions to make, fueling speculation that he might still apply for A Dal 2015, which has a submission deadline of November 15.

I hope we’ll see Bogi (We All, 2014) represent Hungary 2015. Or at least participate in A Dal 2015. Go Bogi!

YES! I hate his voice and I don’t want to see him representing my country in ESC again.

He managed to get a top five placing, there’s no need for him to immediately return the next year. Sure I get he had a great experience but you had your chance. I enjoy his music but I’m happy he’s giving someone else the opportunity to represent Hungary.

I think a year after your first Eurovision performance is way too vast anyway, so I’m happy with this decision xD
