"Hungary became Communist after World War II. In the 1990's, it defied the Soviet Union and began some free trade with the West. This central European country has flourished since the Soviet Union's collapse and it entered the European Union in 2004."

I think this is a good song. Maybe a little bit slower than the other pop songs; but still very good. This song has also been changed into English for Eurovision and; like all songs that have been converted from one language to another, I half expect the chorus to be in Hungarian during the English version!
I think this song works well in both Hungarian and English. The artist has a strong voice and can easily sing in tune. She is able to put a lot of power into her voice and it sounds almost effortless! Points for that!
I think this is a good song and should do well, if it will or not is the big question with every song! The only way we'll find out is to watch the semi-finals and final.

This is the only song which has been changed this year that I don't like. Switch it back now! Szívverés was so much better than Candlelight and it worked better. I'm not going to comment on Candlelight as although she has a good, strong voice, it doesn't work as well as Szívverés.
