NOX meets...
NOX meets Ruslana, meets Urban Trad, meets Riverdance... was a many heard comment on several forums and message boards around the internet. The song Forogj vilg (The world turns), with pop, rock and folk elements, has been written and composed by Szabolcs Harmath and Attila Valla.
About NOX
Lead singers of the group NOX are the 22-year old Szilvia Pter Szab (left) and the 29-year old Tams Nagy (right). In fact, NOX is much bigger than the maximum six people allowed on stage. For their Eurovision Song Contest adventure, the amount of dancers has been brought down. Urban Trad (Belgium 2003) faced the same problem as they had to leave two people at home.
Semifinal
As 'new' country, Hungary takes part in the semifinal of the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest, which takes place on 19th May in Kiev, Ukraine. To reach the final, NOX has to end up among the first ten.
