At Eurovision
On the night of the final Charlie performed 11th in the running order, following Malta and preceding Slovenia. The song was in a blues style which had rarely been heard before at Eurovision, and had not been predicted to go down well with the televoting European public as it lacked any kind of memorable hook. At the close of voting "A holnap már nem lesz szomorú" had picked up only 4 points (2 from Norway and 1 each from France and Romania), placing Hungary 23rd of the 25 entries. The 1998 contest was the first to implement full televoting across Europe; however technical problems meant that the Hungarian televote failed, so the votes of the Hungarian back-up jury had to be used, with the jury awarding its 12 points to the Netherlands.[1]
