"Unsubstantial Blues" (hun.: "Aprócska blues") is a song performed by the Hungarian singer Magdolna Rúzsa. This song represented Hungary at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Helsinki, Finland, and earned ninth place in the finals.
The song was written by Magdi Rúzsa herself. The song was born in a painful moment when Magdi was cheated by her ex-boyfriend. It made Magdi so sad that the words and the melody were just flowing out of her. She loved the song so much that in a pre-final of the Megasztár pop idol contest, she sang it without any accompanying music. Gábor Presser, member of the jury said afterwards: „You don't need instruments, you are the instrument!” It was no wonder that this song featured on her very first record and also was her first single released as a video.
As Hungary did not take part in the Contest in 2006, the song had go into the semi-final of the Contest. Here, it was performed twenty-second (following Andorra's Anonymus with Salvem El Món and preceding Estonia's Gerli Padar with Partners In Crime). Magdi Rúzsa reached the final of the competition, where she performed her song in the 8th position, following Slovenia's Alenka Gotar with Cvet z juga and preceding Lithuania' 4Fun with Love Or Leave.
