True, it's going to be very hard for anyone to top Aminata in my list, but hopefully Latvia can pull it off again!

Re: LATVIA 2016
That's what I'd like too. Actually, I hope they understood that risky quality entries can give them good results and that they'll bear that in mind next year.
But I fear they'll do an Albania: send Suus and then a complete no-hoper the year after
I always respect Latvia for not falling for standard boring songs: whether they're objectively good or bad, their songs can't be labelled as "safe" imo. But with their first qualification after seven years of abysmal failures, I expect them to learn to keep their funny trash home and pursue what they began when they chose Aminata.
Second chance for MNTHA.

Re: LATVIA 2016
MNTHA wouldn't do that well with juries, since her songs aren't vocal showdowns and she actually makes an effort to have songs that can stand up on ther own, so she doesn't have enough x-factor/"starquality" if she goes with her tpical style. I think she would qualify and finish somewhere around 15-19th.

Re: LATVIA 2016
Her song this year was mesmerizing imo. I guess she could have done a "Taken By A Stranger" type of result, and she would have qualified, which is already an achievement for Latvia these days. She's got the x-factor for me, but you may be right about juries during the final.

LTV received 120 songs for 88 performers.
57 soloists
10 duos
17 bands
3 others
(beaver, horse and... pig (again)?)
+1 that doesn't fit anywhere I assume
20 semi-finalists will be selected in the beginning of December but their names will be revealed in January.

RIGA BEAVER FOR STOCKHOLM 2016
Or something as good as Aminata again. That would also be fine.

WTH? Did that happen before? :? Well, he loved "Love Injected" but I doubt a mere ESC reporter can be trusted to find great entries of a country he's not related to in any way (even if he's not alone to do this).
I mean I can help them too, it would be the same.
