Due to missing the 2006 contest, Hungary had to compete in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2007. Magdi Rúzsa represented Hungary at Eurovision, singing "Unsubstantial Blues" performed 22nd, following Andorra and preceding Estonia In the semi-final she came 2nd with 224 points and qualified to the final.She performed 8th in final following Slovenia and preceding Lithuania finished the contest in ninth place with 128 points.With changes to the format of the competition coming into effect for 2008, Hungary would have to compete in one of two semi-finals for qualification into the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2008. As Hungary was not the winner of the 2007 Contest and was not a member of the Big Four, other results in the previous contest no longer pre-qualified nations to the final of the forthcoming contest.
