Latvia LATVIA 2024 - Dons - Hollow

[ESC United Mod Team]

Gotta share the sentiment in this tread. Musically I have nothing bad to say, on the contrary, but he seems so cold and reserved that it's hard to find an approach to this whole entry.

 

[mup]

I like his voice and I hope that Latvia breaks their NQ streak in 2024. I remember I liked some Latvian entries back in 2018-19 that were not chosen. If this qualifies perhaps at least the juries can award him points. Good luck !

The basic straight masses could love this, but it's not even good enough for them. He has a good solid voice, though.

I'm surprised this song is not much more popular than what it's actually. It's similar to Dotan "Numb" who was very popular in fan contests few years ago. The melody and production is really great so what is lacking to make people connect more with him ? Serious question.

 

[mauve]

Had to downgraded it to . The song is too basic and I don't like his emotionless face.

My first 12 points this year

Wow, I did not expect something this good from Latvia! I did like Sudden Lights quite a lot but this might possibly be their best entry since Justs, if there were juries in the SF I would be 90%+ sure that Latvia would qualify for the GF again, that's the kind of entry that I do like and the juries should appreciate too in theory.

The melody and his voice are both very good. I only wish the song was like 20 seconds longer with maybe some long big note added in but that would already exceed the limit.

 

[Paco Roca]

I don't mind this song and the singer's voice and stage presence are excellent. We are in front of a grower. I'm not kidding when I say that over time we will come to appreciate it as "Aijā". As a musical entry, despite her differences, it gives me the vibes of Alika and her "Bridges"

 

[Sammy]

Rather boring song, not memorable, but solid while you’re listening to it. for the moment.

 

[cassio]

I love the cordprogressions and harmonies looking forward to hear it live in Malmø 7 pts

 

[MAD20]

Such a masterpiece from Latvia. It will surely stand out in a field of 'crazy' songs we'll hear this year in Malmö. It's a from me and a song I'll be listening to a lot for a long time.

 

[AliceEsc]

The song itself I really like. What makes me love this is Dons. I find him captivating, I must listen more of his music.

 

[allenakaalan]

I'm actually surprised at how much I ended up liking this. Hopefully it is enough to finally end Latvia's NQ streak.

 

[TiagoFS]

Another good song this year. Not very original but the guy can really sing.

 

[njdevils94]

The basic straight masses could love this, but it's not even good enough for them. He has a good solid voice, though.

Over 90% of people that vote on the night.

 

[lavieenrose]

There's something about this I'm really drawn to. I wish it kept inside itself a little more--the very big chorus at the end is something I kind of wince through vs the rest of the entry. But honestly? I don't think it detracts that much.

8 points!

 

[Gwendal]

I'm sorry Latvia, I didn't really cared about you so, well, I'm so late...

... but "Kur?" is such a missed victory opportunity.

("Hollow" may qualify (with another staging) but, for once, you had something better in Supernova.)

 

[rasmuslights]

I like this. It's my 6th place so far.

It needs a better staging, it needs to be thoughtful. But the music video is gorgeous.

 

[MopManMoss]

Hollow sounds so much like a Hozier song that I am going to claim Dons as the Irish entrant if Bambie NQs

 

[aef]

Downgrading from to points. The song already became a big fader for me, it feels too boring and basic right now.
