Six artists competed in the "Discovery of the Year" category of the awards and Magdi Rúzsa was selected as the winner based entirely on a public televote.

Performing during the show in position 22, "Unsubstantial Blues" was announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 12 May.

[6][7][8] The winner, Magdi Rúzsa, was selected via the public vote and announced during the awards show which took place on 24 February at the Jövő Háza Theater in Budapest and broadcast on m1 as well as online at mtv.hu.

[9] Guest performers of the show were Back II Black, Magna Cum Laude, Quimby, Adrien Szekeres and Laci Gáspár, Moby Dick, Sugarloaf, Erős and Spigiboy, Desperado, Ghymes, Tamás Mester, Cotton Club Singers, Tankcsapda and Charlie (who represented Hungary in 1998).

[10] Magdi Rúzsa's win caused controversy in Hungary, as the singer was born and raised in the Serbian province of Vojvodina, leading people to question why a "Serb" was representing the country rather than a Hungarian and speculation that the reason Rúzsa was crying upon receiving her award was due to the crowd heckling her beforehand.

[12] Controversy later arose that Rúzsa had sung a verse of "Aprócska blues" as part of her audition for the reality television singing competition Megasztár in February 2006, thus violating the Eurovision Song Contest rules stating that "the entries (lyrics and music) must not have been commercially released and/or publicly performed before 1 October 2006".

According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country, the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) and the ten highest placed finishers in the 2006 contest are required to qualify from the semi-final on 10 May 2007 in order to compete for the final on 12 May 2007.

The Hungarian performance featured Magdi Rúzsa dressed in a white tank top and blue jeans with the stage displaying a bus stop sign where she stood with a suitcase and the LED screens projecting orange designs.
