More than 40% giving this song 12 points? What is it that I am not getting here? I have given it several tries... but ... xshrug
I can see this is good handwork the arrangement is quite interesting. It's not at all a bad song, I admit that... But still - I am not "feeling it"... (well; just as I didnt get the praise for Latvia last year - same story)...

The more I listen to this song, the more I think this has got to win. Such a great song from Latvia.

I think Latvia will go top 10 with the song, ending up at 5-6, just as in 2015. I didn't like Aminata at all and couldn't understand all the hype, but this year, Heartbeat is much better though it's a similar arrangement. I love it but I can't see it winning though I'd give it 12 points. But I'm sure it will do well.

I really really like this, but there's something that stops me loving it, I don't know what it is... I think it's hard to listen to. It has been growing on me so maybe I will learn to love eventually ;) I give it 10 points with the potential for 12 in the future :p

I predict this will be top 5 in the final, probably top 3.

I think this has too much of an alternative, edgy sound for it to be an outright winner although I love the song and would much rather see it win than Sweden or Australia, for example. It'll definitely be top 10, likely top 5. I think Justs' vocals could be a bit dividing and it doesn't have the same wow factor Aminata had so I don't think it'll do as well with the juries as she did. On the other hand, it's much more catchy than Love Injected so will probably do better in the televote. I expect a similar result for Latvia to last year.

This is definitely one of my favorite songs this year. Justs's voice just fits this song perfectly, and he definitely brings out the song's strong angsty energy.

They walked on a tight rope gracefully; it has Aminata written all over it without sounding like a rip-off of "Love Injected."

I barely trying but still don't get this song. I usually like such kind of music but this is so... artificial for me. I feel no emotions. Maybe because this song is not for guy performing it. He is just puppet in hands of Aminata (in sense of music)

with Lazarev - he is favourite to win.

Russian entry is great as well but I don't think they will win this year. Top 5 for sure tho

I can't see anyting interesting about it tbh. I have felt last year's Latvia however, I think it was a completely different story. This is so dull.
