So, the first round is now over! The first heat of the Hungarian national selection A Dal has just thrown its curtains and the results are in!

We enjoyed an impressive show hosted by Freddie and Krisztina Rátonyi; with 10 acts doing their best, in the hope of getting the ticket to the next phase, the semi-finals and of course, the opportunity to represent their nation in Lisbon, which will be given only to the best one.

Who are the lucky ones?

Progressing to the semi-finals, set to begin on 10 February, are the following:

• Leander Kills – Nem szól harang
• Zsolt Sule – Zold a május
• Viktor Király – Budapest girl
• Ceasefire X – Satellites
• Gabi Knoll – Nobody to die for
• Tamas Vastag – Ne hagyj reményt

According to the heat rounds’ rules of A Dal, the first 5 contestants made it to the next round via a combined jury and public vote, whilst the sixth was chosen via a 100% public vote, after an additional televoting round.

Therefore, out of the competition are the rest 4 entrants who performed tonight, which are:

• Fourtissimo feat. Markanera – Kisnyuszi a kalapban
• LivingRoom – Kirakat élet
• Noémo – Levegőt!
• Patikadomb – Jó szelet!

All performances from the show are now available for watching on the official YouTube channel of the competition.

Now we are staying tuned and looking forward to the second heat round, which will take place next Saturday evening, on 27 January.

Which tonight’s qualifier is your favourite?
