The 12 acts are:
- Ralfs Eilands and Valters Pūce – Revelation
- Katrine Lukins – You Are The Reason
- Mad Show Boys – I Need A Soul Twin
- Markus Riva – Lights On
- Anete Volmane – Breathe Slow
- U.K. – What If It Was
- Katrīna Bindere – Moment and Tomorrow
- Andris Kivičs – Pa vidu tu
- Dons – Pēdējā vēstule
- Sabīne Vidriķe – Is It Possible
- Sabīne Berezina – Pressure
- Eirošmits – If I Could (Get Away)
The results will be determined by a 50% jury vote and a 50% public televote.
You can watch the show live from 20:30 CET here.
Just like last year the second semi-final is a much better and stronger semi-final. I like almost all the song.
This are my favorites for tonight:
– Andris Kivičs – Pa vidu tu
– Dons – Pēdējā vēstule (Such a beautiful song. It could be this year’s “Kuula” if selected for Eurovision.)
– Katrīna Bindere – Moment and tomorrow
– Katrine Lukins – You are the reason
– Mad Show Boys – I need a soul-twin (What a happy and fun song. It sounds a lot like “Banjo Laura” by Lauris Reiniks from 2011. But that could only be a compliment because it was such a great song.)
– Markus Riva – Lights on
– Rolands Ūdris – What i fit was
– Sabīne Berezina – Pressure (Very beautiful ballad.)
– Sabīne Vidriķe – Is it possible
“Revelation” by Ralfs Eilands, Valters Pūce & Nelli Bubujanca is such a bad song. I think it’s really afwul. Besides Ralfs Eilands already had his chance at Eurovision and he completely messed up. He must stay as far away from the Eurovisionstage as possible. Hopefully the Latvians won’t make the same mistake like last year.
Good luck Latvia!
