Magdolna Rúzsa (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈmɒɡdolnɒ ˈruːʒɒ]; Serbian: Ружа Магдолна, Ruža Magdolna) or simply Magdi Rúzsa (born 28 November 1985 in Titov Vrbas, SR Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Serbian-Hungarian pop singer who won the 2006 title of Megasztár ("Megastar"), Hungary's nationwide talent search, that resembles, but is not based on, Pop Idol. As the winner of the category "Newcomer of the Year" at the Fonogram Hungarian Music Awards in 2007, she represented Hungary at the Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki, Finland with the song "Unsubstantial Blues". She finished ninth and won a Marcel Bezençon Award in the Best Composer category. She often performs songs by her favorite singer, Janis Joplin.
Rúzsa studied in Subotica as an obstetric nurse. She was discovered in 2005, after winning the third season of Megasztár (Megastar) in Hungary.
After winning the competition, Rúzsa's album, featuring the songs she performed during the show's finals, went triple platinum and to date has sold around 80,000 copies. Her first artist album Ördögi Angyal (Devilish Angel) was released on her birthday (November 28, 2006), and has sold 36,000 copies so far. These two records were the biggest-selling releases in 2006 in Hungary.
