"Unsubstantial Blues" (Hungarian: "Aprócska Blues") is a song written and performed by Magdi Rúzsa. It was also the Hungarian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007.

The song is written in the style of blues and is about a woman who is cheated on by a boyfriend. The lyrics to the Hungarian version were written by Rúzsa herself, who was inspired by "personal experience." The Hungarian version was released as a single from her debut album Ördögi angyal (Devilish Angel) before the selection of Rúzsa as the country's Eurovision representative. The song was then translated into English by Imre Mózsik and announced as the Hungarian entry.

Controversy arose after it was selected because Rúzsa sang a verse as part of her audition for the television program Megasztár which aired in February 2006. The EBU required that no portion of an entry be "commercially released and/or publicly performed" before October 1, 2006 to be eligible for the contest. In the end the song was allowed to remain in the competition.

Hungary did not participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, so the song was performed in the semi-final held in Helsinki, Finland on May 10, 2007. It was the twenty-second song of the night and qualified for the final after receiving 224 points, second only to Serbia. Hungary was the eighth country to perform in the final, held on May 12, 2007, performing between Slovenia and Lithuania. At the close of voting it had received 128 points to finish in 9th place overall. This was Hungary's best placing since their debut in 1994.

Dalszöveg (Lyrics):

How many times have - you fooled me and denied that
It's her whom you love and it sure isn't me?
So now that it's over - I'll try and take it sober
Leave questions unasked, remember us laughing' at the broken past
God, if I could make it on without you

You're such a casual man, oh wavin' an empty hand
I'm helpless and I'm lonely without you

Yes you're a casual man, lendin' an empty hand
Left me breathless with nothing more to lose

I used to dream we'd - take it nice and easy
Get jobs settle down in Jameson Town
If now you could see me - you'd think twice about leavin'
Y' said forever is the time you're gonna spend around

So why did you leave me? And why should I believe it?
Y' said goodbye! Oh why did you leave me? And Why?

You're such a casual man, oh wavin' an empty hand
I'm helpless and I'm lonely without you

Yes you're a casual man, oh lendin' an empty hand
Left me breathless with nothing more to lose

Casual man, lendin' an empty hand
Left me breathless with nothing more to lose

Except an evanescent unsubstantial blues...
