Latvia LATVIA 2015 - Aminata - Love Injected

[Terence]

Can't connect with this right now, it's a bit too experimental for my first listen, though it's not a bad thing.

Won't rate it now!

Annoying voice and singer.
Awful song.

I think i'm actually falling in love with this song. I can't stop listening to it. I mean, it really does hurt my delicate, tinnitus riddled ears, but i'm a glutton for punishment. I don't care, the song is just so awesome. It simply soars like no other song has managed to, so far this year. The final chorus is sensational, followed by those breathtaking "wooahs". The elephant/dinosaur backing singers enhance it even further live, with their ridiculously wonderful cries. The whole thing is just so cleverly crafted. It's haunting, mesmerizing and strangely poignant. I confidently say that "Love Injected" is the most creative composition of the year, with a fascinating pacing to it. It's not the easiest song to listen to but for me it's worth the ringing of my ears once it's finished. I love it and I love Aminata. She's hypnotic to watch. Go for the win Latvia!

What is this?! Crap.. Cake to Bake and Here We Go were 100 times better

Just joking, Finally a good song from Latvia. Well done, with good performence it might get through to the final

I agree with this.

Yep, Latvia's thread has always been very quiet so it's nice to see them get some hype.

Now we just need a few more Latvian members...

I decided, I will put her at my number 3 in the end, I watched her performance and Estonia's performance several times and I prefer Estonia so:

1. Switzerland
2. Estonia
3. Latvia

I gave it 12 points, but honestly, I have trouble clicking with the song. It's such a weird composition, pain inducing to the ears and the singing is also not the best. It's a borderliner, could also become another Georgia 2014. There will be shock exits in the semifinals and Latvia might just be one of those.

I'm pretty surprised with Latvia : it's good. They finally found a great song and a great singer. I hope they'll work a little in the song to polish it (it still sounds like a good demo).

This song has one of those vocal performances that splits those who think it's a tuneless mess, and those who think it's uncommonly emotionally powerful. You don't get a song that does this every year, but when you do, it's a combination of reactions that frequently appear in the same place

I'm in the latter category, obviously. I get chills every time I hear the part where her voice becomes raspy in the last chorus. It's like sandpaper licking my heart.

What a great song!

There is something about it that makes me listen to it again and again. Great voice (especially in semi's), looks and quality!

Sure qualifier and to all of the smarties here who underestmate Latvia, watch out when it comes to the finals. I have a good feeling about this song.

 

[Adrian]

This is the best song so far!!
So powerful and I adore her voice!!

 

[r3gg13]

Would it be too early to book a trip to Latvia?

Seriously, for me, it will be difficult to top this act. Her and her performance check off all the important boxes

- Modern (check)
- Fantastic vocals (check)
- Enchanting (check)

I gave it twelve points as well, mostly because it's certainly the most original song so far this year. I see this as a toned-down (in terms of octaves) version of "Suus." It's simple with tons of emotion. It's in my top 10 so far. I'm just more surprised that Latvia finally has a good song after so many years. It does need a little polishing but I think Latvia (and Estonia) have a good shot of being in the final. However, I do agree that this song is much more polarizing due to this song being very enigmatic. So, it can go either way. Although, I think she's great.

 

[Arv]

12 of course, my favorite by far!

 

[nofuxCZ]

What I find fascinating is that people of all music backgrounds like this song. I see it's liked by people who are usually into very alternative stuff but also by people who are only into mainstream pop I think Latvia could do really well in Vienna

 

[esteurovision]

All three baltic countries are looking really good this year! I would say that baltic gonna reach top 10 this year (at least).
