They eliminated the two best songs in the selection imo Both Brīnumzeme and My Voice are pretty decent.

My top 17:Also I was actually on my way in public transport during these listenings so the rankings and couldn't pay attention at all times. Therefore some expressions may be wrong. 1. Aminata - I'm letting you go A beautiful song - both musically and lyrically - and modern ballad. However it's endangered to be boring. 2. Raum - Plans This is a fun song that I like a lot. However I don't really get those lyrics ... Oh, and btw. in the verses it reminds me of a particular song from the early 2000s that's still played on the radio, but I never know the title nor artist, lol.3. Bermudu Divstūris - Bad Good dance track, but imo not powerful enough - especially the chorus. What I dislike the most here, is that they're basically robbing us of a drop ... I mean in the chorus it's building up to it, but then nothing happens ... 4. Miks Galvanovskis - I'm just a sinner First of all, I really like his voice that appears to be really strong. I also like the song and particularly for its old-school vibes and the backing vocalists at the right places. What bothers me the most that the head line gets repeated a bit too often ... 5. Bujans - He, she, you & me First off, what a stupid song title ... Besides that the song is good, but I fear that the instrumental may be a bit too fast. 6. Markus Riva - If you're gonna love me A modern song that happens to unfortunately have a somewhat annoying beat. 7. Citi Zēni - Eat your salad In this entry I like the retro disco sounds. It's also a very original song and he can sing. The idea of the lyrics may not be the most original, but it's probably the most straightforward in that topic we've heard in Eurovision. I may be wrong here, but I've come to that conclusion because of the curse words included. Overall, this is a fun song, with a still serious message. But I believe to fully judge we need to actually see this live. 8. Beatrise Heislere - On the way home An okay song, but although I do like epic sounding songs, I believe these voice effects in use don't work here. In fact they're only making the song a bit boring and monotonous. 9. KATŌ - Promises This song may be okay, but Idk whether it actually fits her voice. And also were all these "oohs" actually needed? 10. Linda Rušeniece - Pay my own bills Another one of those okayish entries sang by a good vocalist. What I don't like is the chorus being really repetitive ... 11. Miks Dukurs - First love It's beautiful, but personally I'm not very big on these musically reduced songs. 12. Elīna Gluzunova - Es pabiju tur Elina has a beautiful voice, but omg the song is so boring. I actually couldn't even listen to the end. 13. Patriks Peterson - Can't Get You Outta My Head This was the entry that I payed the least attention to (because I changed from tramway to train, lol) and had it therefore playing only in the back. However that's actually okay to me since I'm not sure whether I'd ever want more than that. From what I caught Patrik might have a beautiful voice, but the song is monotonous af. 14. Mēs Jūs Mīlam - Ritch Itch A funny, original and creative entry, I have to say. However that's basically about it because I personally dislike both vocals (for being annoying) and just the singing style (somewhere between singing and talking) in general. But overall, I believe this is another song that we actually need to see first before judging completely. 15. The Coco'nuts - In and out of the dark Imo, this is a very original entry performed by a good vocalist. I'm personally not too big on it however and that's just because these genres are generally not for me ... And also the song stays somewhat monotonous, but luckily it gets somewhat better to listen to after approximately 2 minutes. 16. Inspo - Happy place This is probably an unpopular opinion here, but I really don't like this entry. Because 1. it's boring af and 2. I've heard these kind of vocals before and they're absolutely not for me. 17. Zelma - How Starting off beautifully, but evolving badly aka turns boring quickly. What kills it completely for me then, is the change of the instrumental at half point.

I normally loved Latvia for it's weird entries from 2008 - 2014, but here I'm not quite there yet. Therefore I can't give it more than a for now. It's also a catchy song with fitting retro sounds and it looks like they're having fun on stage so there's lots of potential for this to grow on me. One thing they particularly need to work on a lot until May are their live singing skills. I've watched their performance in last week's semi final (apparently) and understood literally nothing.

I admire their energy and confidence live, something all of us can't ever aspire to be. It's a fun song in the moment, but only in the moment. I don't know if it's gonna linger in my mind for a while since this isn't the style of song I vibe with the best. Lyrically, really cringy but also a little catchy and disposable. It's just fun. Knowing Latvia, this could fail to qualify and we wouldn't be surprised, but they're selling it in the performance department, so they could be this year what Denmark was last year. If they're a bit more polished live, they could qualify.

You really do not want to be in the final anymore, right?
