Szilvia Agárdi: “I experience love a little different.” [Interview]

In the run up to A Dal’s third semifinal, escXtra.com spoke to Szilvia Agárdi. It’s her second go in A Dal and this time, she’s singing It Is Love. She tells us about what being blind means for love and also about her previous A Dal experience. Check it out below!
escXtra.com: First of all, why is It Is Love the ideal Eurovision song for you?
Szilvia: In our lives, we all experience that moment when passion touches our heart. I also went through this experience. This love is not fulfilled yet and nobody knows how it’s going to be. I just wanted to write my feelings down in a song. When we found Viktor Rakonczai, the composer, and Tamara Olorga, the lyricist, I told them how I felt and they put it in the song.
X: Why did you decide to enter A Dal 2016?
S: Many things inspired to enter A Dal 2016. My song is very important to me. It’s about a period of my life. I experience love a little different. Different than a person who can see would. For example I am not able to see the other person’s face. I put my heart and soul into this song and hope I can bring this feeling across to the audience too.
X: A few choices for you to make. Feel free to tell us more about your choices! Duetting with Pál Dénes or going solo for A Dal?
S: In A Dal 2013, I sang a duet with Pál, but I was only 17 and everything was new and interesting for me.  Since then I have released some solo songs. That was reason for me to enter A Dal 2016. In A Dal 2013 I sang the song ‘Szíveddel Láss’ and we reached the final eight!
X: Favourite kind of holiday?
S: I like travelling, horse riding and swimming.
X: Favourite thing to drink?
S: I like drinking ginger ale and cocoa.
X: What was your favourite subject at school?
S: Without singing lessons I loved economy lessons and history.
X: If you won’t win A Dal, who do you hope will? Which song do you like?
S: I already have some favourite of course.  I will be happy for anybody who wins A Dal and I’ll cross my fingers for them!
X: Who is your biggest musical idol? And their best song?
S: My biggest idol is Céline Dion. I love many of her songs, like I’m Alive and The Power of Love.
