Csézy, the Hungarian representative in the Eurovision Song Contest, will be together on stage with five more artists backing her up. Two of them are already experienced Eurovision-wise as they were members of V.I.P who placed 12th for Hungary in the 1997 contest in Dublin.

Composer and pianist Viktor Rakonczai together with Gergő Rácz both represented Hungary in the 1997 Eurovision Song Contest and this year they will be accompanying Csezy on stage together with the acapella group Fool Moon

In a closed press conference after Csezy's last rehearsal in Budapest, her gown for the night (pictured)of the semi final was revealed to select journalists. The dress was designed by Bori Tóth, well-known Hungarian fashion designer and it is inspired by a Hungarian folk art pattern. Csezy's own grandmother, an artist of the Matyó embroidery art crafted the intricate pattern that adorns the front of the dress which was donated to the popular singer by her hometown, Mezőkövesd.

Csézy has been nominated at the Hungarian Viva Comet Awards, the biggest of their kind in the country, in three categories : Best female singer, Best new performer and Best video at the biggest Hungarian music award.

Csezy's first rehearsal is tomorrow at 13.50-14.30.


Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain. I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
