The time has come! The first heat of A Dal 2017, the national selection for Hungary at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017, will take place this Saturday, 14 January. Ten songs from the short-listed thirty will compete for six spots within two semi finals held in February. We are running a flash poll here at wiwibloggs and we want to know who your favourites are for the first heat. Can any of these acts go on to be the next Freddie and represent Hungary in Kyiv?
Make sure to listen to all ten songs in full below and then vote in our poll. Remember! You can vote for as many songs as you like, but you can only vote once, so choose wisely! The poll will close shortly before the first heat airs live.

[polldaddy poll=9634338]
Spoon 21 is the best song. I predict the six qualifiers to be:
1st/2nd. Spoon 21: Solid song, super easy qualifier.
1st/2nd. Calidora: A good song, very pleasant to listen to. Kinda mysterious.
3rd/4th. David Henderson: Very modern sounding, probably will get more points from televote.
3rd/4th. Benji: Super soothing, his voice is really nice.
5th. Viki Singh: It’s okay, the ‘love, love’ part is repetitive, but it’s still a safe qualifier.
6th place will go to either Rocktenors or Leander Kills, they have a similar sort of sound.
This is what I chose, Spoon 21, Calidora, David Henderson, Leander Kills, Rocktenors, and Viki Singh. These 6 are my definite qualifiers from this heat.
Spoon 21 and David!!!! <3
Spoon 21.
(Even though the band name sounds like sexual position of some kind)
Daniel, I am Hungarian and nobody knows Margaret here. She is not popular at all, so you are wrong that it is a ripoff, and it has no similarities at all with that song elephant
I like that so many good songs we have this year is in our language instead of English
Just for a moment I thought that ‘Deak’ could’ve been sung in russian by you-know-who. I admit nice harmonies but song only gives me imagination of some… ads.
It’s Spoon 21 or David Henderson for me,it will depend on the staging, but I think Spoon’s one will be more outstanding. Don’t know why Calidora is so high in this poll,not bad, but not that better…
My prediction (not based on wiwi poll :P):
– Spoon 21
– David Henderson
– Calidora
– Benji
– Viki Singh
– Open spot: Leanders Killers or Rocktenors
It’s Spoon 21, Calidora and Benji for me! Loving the Hungarian language realness of Spoon 21’s song…very modern and catchy! 🙂
I like Deak , Glory and Rain. White shadows is also good. The others don’t make me want to play them again.
Here’s who I think will qualify, based on their studio recordings:
9.30 Spoon 21
9.28 Calidora
9.24 Rocktenors
9.24 Kata Csondor
9.14 Benji
9.10 Viki Singh
——————–
9.04 The Wings
9.04 Leander Kills
9.04 Roma Soul
8.96 Dávid Henderson
SPOON 21 ALL THE WAY!
Hi, i’m new here, from this heat i like Calidora with “Glory” and Dávid Henderson with “White Shadows” ;D
Yeah, Daniel, just like Euphoria is a copy of Sound of silence. I don’t like it either, but dont say stupid things 😛
Hungary has strong selection, and is probably the selection with most bands. They are good, but I don’t know if the chosen act will be from this semifinal.
none of my faves are in this
deák is decent i guess
@Josh It fixed.Bienvenido.
1. “White Shadows”
2. “Deák”
3. “Osz”
Did I get this right, 6 songs from each heat advance to the semis?
I would agree with the top two in the poll so far.
I think I prefer Benji over Spoon 21 but both are good songs.
The others are a bit meh.
What is so good in David’s song? When I first heard it I was like “WTF?”. The instrumental in the chorus is so weird and annoying.
Spoon 21 and Calidora!
Love Karcok!!!
I don’t even remember Spoon 21’s song after 3 times i’ve listened to it…
Spoon 21 and Calidora, I don’t really care about the other qualifiers 😀 They are my top 2 from the whole competition. 😀
@daniel
Who the hell would steal from margeret? She’s not even close to relevant in any country except for poland.
Spoon 21, Calidora or Benji pls!
Deak is a genuinely good modern pop number. Hopefully it wins the whole thing.
Daniel, are you listening to the same song? This sounds nothing like Elephant – it’s also far, far better. You must be one of those queens still bitter than she LOST Poland’s national final last year.
Spoon 21 is a bland and pale copy of Margaret’s new song Elephant. Why not pick something original like White Shadows or Glory?
Spoon 21 all the way to the Eurovision Grand Final baby!!!!
If they send Kallays-Sanders i will DIE!!!!!
@xavi Oops! Thank you so much for noticing. I’ll make sure it gets fixed up now.
We able vote one song only?? Usually we allowed to vote for more…..why so this time?
100% Spoon 21
Spoon 21!
Spoon 21!!
