Latvia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017

its ok, i was gutted when they stopped to

so hard to get a stream lately

To be fair, I have no idea myself, lol.

I only assumed the first 2 qualifiers were public winners, as Lauris & Linda were announced first last week, and wikipedia stated them as public qualifiers, so that's why I put them as those.
And now that I check the wiki again, they have the same colours as I put, but idk

I can understand you and the wiki author, because you both don't know the latvian language, so you probably thought that everything goes as it did the last 2 years - previous it was announced as 2 public qualifiers (but then they didn't announce the evening winner though) and 2 jury qualifiers, but this year except for the winner everyone else is announced randomly. This also makes sense, because last week when I saw you "paint" Linda Leen as a public qualifier I was like WTF, how is that possible? But now I know that she was just announced as the 2nd, not as the 2nd place, because knowing her song and her performance and what people said about it all on internet comments, it's clear that she was picked by the jury...
So this is how it works this year... Also, this year the rules of Supernova were changed - and all because of The Ludvig, because previously no one under 18 was allowed to participate there, but this year they just had to change the rules, because his voice and the song itself were too good to just not allow it... But it's only for Supernova like this, because before Supernova in Eirodziesma there was allowed to participate from 16 as well - one good example is Walters & Kazha, because Walters was 17, when they were representing the country in Kyiv
