Before you read my top for Latvia, I just figured out that in there is an Azeri guy, Elvin Məmmədov/Mammadov is 1/4 of Laime Pilinga. I only got to know of this just yesterday (I think) 48 hours before the contest. And I saw that Elvin wrote the song and Latvia refers to him as “Elvins Memedovs” congratulations Latvia. For putting a low key important piece of info in disguise lmao. Ok Supernova time

For putting a low key important piece of info in disguise lmao. Ok Supernova time I don't want to disappoint you, but as a latvian I have no idea who you are talking about. Maybe you can provide me with the source you found out this information on? As much as I know, his name is Elvi js, not Elvi ns. There's a difference between the 2 names. Secondly, none of the latvian sources (including their band page) provide any information about the band members being related to Azerbaijan. If there would be - it would be published, because latvians tend to mention such things. So unless you know a trustworthy source to confirm your information, I think you've misread/misunderstood something.

Yesterday Supernova has published the semifinal results. Obviously these reveal only the results of the songs that made it into the final, but I still don't know why they decided to do it 1 day before the final, because usually they publish all full results after the final, which they will probably do this year as well. But anyway, here are the result First semifinal:1st place - “Laime Pilnīga” (jury gave 1st place, viewers gave it – 3rd place) 2nd place – Edgars Kreilis (jury gave 2nd place, viewers – also 2nd place) 3rd place – Samanta Tīna (viewers voted it 1st place, jury – 4th place) 4th place – Aivo Oskis (viewers - 4th place, jury – 3rd place). Second semifinal:1st place – “Carousel” (viewers voted 3rd place, jury gave – 1st place) 2nd place – “Double Faced Eels” (viewers - 2nd place, jury – 3rd place) 3rd place – Markus Riva (viewers obviously gave 1st place, jury – only 5th place). 4th place – “Dziļi violets feat. Kozmens” (got voted 4th place both ways) How I see this: 1 - you can see some similarities in both semifinal winners results - that doesn't surprise me, because it was obvious that both were jury favorites and that televoters won't vote them first. 2 - Markus Riva and Samanta Tīna winning their semifinals by televotes doesn't surprise as well - they both have the biggest fanbases. 3 - I'm surprised that DFE got only 3rd by the jury - I wonder, who did they gave 2nd to, if Carousel was their first, but their 2nd didn't even make the cut. It probably was Kristīne Pastare, because she surely wasn't popular by televoters. EDIT: 4 - if the support from jury to Markus Riva will be as low as in the semifinal, then no matter how many viewers will vote for him - Markus Riva won't be our representative. But that's a theory- we'll see what happens in reality.

Judging by jury comments, "Laime Pilnīga" will be their No.1. EDIT: seeing comments on twitter and televotes midway the voting, it's between Carousel and Laime Pilnīga. So yeah - this year we'll be quite boring...

It's Carousel for Latvia in 2019! My opinion: But at least we don't need to stress about whether we will qualify for the final or not Results: 8th - Aivo Oskis 7th - Samanta Tīna 6th - Edgars Kreilis 5th - Dziļi Violets ft. Kozmens 4th - Double Faced Eels 3rd - Laime Pilnīga 2nd - Markus Riva Winner - Carousel

I don't like it, it's too repetitive imo

This song confuses me a lot. When I listen to it, I kind of enjoy it. But when it's over, I completely forget about it and feel like I don't want to listen to it again. 🤔 I'll give it for now.

It's not the goodbye that hurts but the flashbacks that follow.

I'm really sorry for giving but in my opinion, all the rest songs were better.
