Meanwhiles, Awe is probably the only song I remotely liked out of the four qualifiers As much as I can see the potential in Cherry Absinthe, the way he performed it just felt really flat, and the way he sings the chorus ("There is a fire"), has a really annoying sound to it. Somebody's Got My Lover just doesn't work on stage at all. Him standing alone and casually walking around (dancing, w/e) does not elevate the song at all. As for Cutting the Wire, I have absolutely no idea whose idea it was with the clothing, or the way the backing vocalists were moving, but the song overall is just not working, and this is probably also the weirdest qualifier choice for me as well, but eh. On the topic of Awe, this at least sounded authentic live, with a very simple, yet fitting performance, and their vocals definitely elevate the song a lot more live. I always saw some sort of potential in Awe, going into Supernova, and it felt like my gut feeling was right, in the end ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Still bummed over Būšu tepat not qualifying, but eh, there are other choices out there as well. Eitherways, I'm still supporting Double Faced Eels to win it all, but Laime Pilnīga is definitely a grower imo

Somebody's Got My Lover just doesn't work on stage at all. Him standing alone and casually walking around (dancing, w/e) does not elevate the song at all. About being alone on the stage the jury also said that he should think of something else/adding someone else to it, because alone it doesn't work... As for Cutting the Wire, I have absolutely no idea whose idea it was with the clothing, or the way the backing vocalists were moving, but the song overall is just not working, and this is probably also the weirdest qualifier choice for me as well, but eh. The jury was also not very fond of their clothing, especially their pants... but we'll see if she'll change something there... Still bummed over Būšu tepat not qualifying, but eh, there are other choices out there as well. "Būšu tepat" lost their chances, when one of the jury members told that her song would just disappear between other ESC songs and the other jury member said that her biggest minus is that the song is in latvian, which I personally don't agree completely... that's just a cliche in Latvia that a song in native language won't work (probably the reason why we don't see more songs in latvian participating in the national selection)... we've seen plenty of artists performing in their native language and got even better results than we did with our song in english...

Even though we haven't seen the live performances yet, I think these 4 should go through (unless they are terrible live): Adriana Miglāne - "Scared of Love" Double Faced Eels - "Fire" Kristiāna - "Remedy" Markus Riva - "You Make Me So Crazy" But knowing latvian jury, there's no way all 4 of them will go through... I'm pretty sure Markus Riva (obviously) and DFE will go through... Also I have a pretty strong feeling about "Tautasdziesma" (as the jury favorite, like last time was "Awe") and the 4th could be Carousel... or Laika Upe... But all this is just more of a "could be, should be" thing We'll see how the live shows will go EDIT: By jury comments, Adriana and Markus won't be their choice, but Markus will probably still be in because of televoters...

As you all know, Saturday will be the final of Supernova 2019. The Supernova homepage has published 2 articles - one about most popular songs on Spotify and YT and the other one about changes artists are considering for their final act. Let's start with the first one: On Spotify most popular songs are: Double Faced Eels with “Fire” had 72,5 thousand plays at the time of publishing this article. Markus Riva with “You Make Me So Crazy” with almost 39 thousand. Aivo Oskis with “Somebody’s Got My Lover” had 23,6 thousand. About the YT they have made mistake or suddenly Carousel have gained massive amount of views (which sounds impossible): It says that the most views on YT go to Samanta Tīna (which is correct, because her semifinal performance is the most viewed video on YT, then it says follow Edgars Kreilis and Markus Riva. But Carousel actually has more views than these 2, so yeah... I guess they didn't notice Carousel or something else weird has gone on. Source: supernova.lsm.lv/lv/aktualitate/197/kuram-supernova-2019-dziesmam-vislabak-veicas-interneta/The other article covers a few lines of each artist telling about their final acts: Double Faced Eels said there might be need for fire extinguishers (but they said it already after the semifinal on live TV, so that's not new). They also say that there will be some changes in clothing as well as the lead singer won't be as active on stage as he was in semi, because the other band members are active enough. Plus there will be some choreographic changes so that it looks more appealing to the cameras. Markus Riva says that he won't change anything, except there will be some more lights, effects and a big stage screen. Laime Pilnīga say that they will change drastically, something has even been changed musically. Aivo Oskis reveals that he won't be alone on the stage and he will change clothes as well. Edgars Kreilis says that he will improve his emotions in the song, so that it's more appealing to the viewers. Dziļi Violets & Kozmens say there will be one more member on the stage. Plus they hope he won't take all the attention off of them. They also say that they are ready for Tel Aviv and that their goal is 2nd place in the final. (this last is obviously a joke) Samanta Tīna, despite jury objecting on her clothing choice, say she won't change the jeans (and probably the top as well), because that her vision of how it should be and she doesn't want to change that. She says that only some technical things have been improved. And last but not least - Carousel won't change anything. At least nothing has been revealed. Source: supernova.lsm.lv/lv/aktualitate/198/ar-ko-supernova-2019-daliibnieki-skatiitajus-parsteigs-konkursa-finala-shova/This is the running order for the final: It's gonna start with Markus Riva, then Edgars Kreilis, Aivo Oskis, “Double Faced Eels”, “Dziļi violets feat. Kozmens”, “Laime Pilnīga”, Samanta Tīna and “Carousel” as the final act.
