And who cares? Not that you have doubts, but that it will be or it won't be in some Greatest Eurovision Hits :?

It really is a masterpiece in terms of song and performance.
We would be so lucky to be blessed with something so wonderful again in our lifetime.

Re: LATVIA 2016
I was simply questioning the qualification "greatest eurovision hit". And one of the hints to see if that would be true is to look at greatest hits samplers. Of course, if the meaning of the posting was "one of the greatest ESC hits for me", than this is completely different and I would never question that. But to make a general statement would need SOMETHING to base it on except from a personal feeling or taste.
And I'm not even excluding, that it could be one of the greatest hits ever, as this is not depending on my personal taste. But I have my doubts about it. Period.
Or have you got any other idea how to justify such a general statement?

Re: LATVIA 2016
For me, it's not.
True, she is a great singer.
True, she delivered well.
But I didn't like the song. It lacked melody and I found the lyrics quite "wanna-be-poetic/mystic". I didn't hate the song either, to be clear. It just did nothing for me.
Of course, that is a matter of personal taste.

Indeed. There is no song that all people like. But Aminata was liked by a LOT of people.

Aminata is the reason why I put Latvia in my top 10 for the first time in my life. That says something.

Whether one likes "Love Injected" or not, one can objectively admit it's a quality song, something fresh and unusual in the Eurovision bubble that succeeded in seducing both viewers and juries. Latvia is not part of the overrated countries, they didn't qualify by magic. I would add that their act was the most well-staged one, they made the most of what technology had to offer in Vienna: the background, the floor, the gestures, the lights, the camera work, everything was on point.
The first time I watched the performance, I immediately felt like it was simply in a different league musically AND visually.
ORF screwed some performances with questionable angles in terms of camera work (San Marino, Czech Republic, Spain, Georgia) but this one was perfect imo.

One of their members (who was also a member of Pirates of the Sea in 2008) has already died tho.

Really sad news, our 2008 entry is one of my favourite entries from my country... On Saturday was the funeral. R.I.P. Jānis Vaišļa

Hope we'll see it in Supernova and then in Eurovision.
