Latvia LATVIA 2020 - Samanta Tīna - Still Breathing

[escYOUnited]

 

[Brandt]

Haven't heard of other songs, but that's some talent and Latvia is a great candidate this year for me.

 

[Himan]

Well, she's not going to win, but I can understand why people like it in eurofan land. 7 points, juries will kill it of

 

[HayashiM]

Can i ask about the genuine opinion where this entry will land at the end?

I think she's a borderline qualifier, my bet would be she makes it and than kinda pulls a Replay placing in the middle of the scoreboard (perhaps a bit lower than 13th though)-

 

[NikolaiMoller]

OMG! I'm soooooooo happy for her!

Was pretty nervous she wouldn't win, but she did!

Currently my favorite after the first 5 (6) songs.

LOVE HER. SHE SLAYED!!!

 

[Mrm]

I simply can't resist, but thinking of Destiny Chukunyere in her hands, when she sings this part:

"Strong I am to take it
I am gonna make it
Destiny is in my hands"

 

[Citelis]

Latvia you are the one who saved the day!

 

[Mrm]

Latvia you are the one who saved the day!

 

[JonnyWest]

A mess going straight to the bottom of my list.
The only redeeming quality is probably Samanta...

 

[Mrm]

You see how Liza Vassilieva provokes all different reactions in people..based on reactions on my previous comment..BLESS her..

 

[Mrm]

A mess going straight to the bottom of my list.
The only redeeming quality is probably Samanta...

The only thing that goes, is YOU, and straight out of this thread!

Respect other people's opinions, this is a forum...

 

[Luki]

Latvia made history last night with most perfect top 3 in recorded NF history!

I can't I'm, partying and shaking my head way too much...

 

[RevNet]

THE GOOD:
-A pretty good entry overall.
-The vocals and instrumentals have their moments.

THE BAD:
-The transitions from pop to dubstep are jarring.

THE VERDICT:
This entry has a chance to make it into the Final. After that, who knows? In the meantime, it is a nice entry by Latvia, jarring transitions and all. 8 points

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

a 4 from me. I've tried, but it's too messy for me musically.

 

[Biscuit02]

And here I just have to give 12, Samanta finally won and with an absolute BANGER that would no doubt score big with the televoters in May.

 

[Sammy]

This song will stand out, I am just not sure if for better or for worse. After Conan Osiris has been slayed last year, I don't see this song can go much further, because Telemoveis was also experimental and much better. Let's see.

Funny you mention Conan in this context. When I heard the song the first time I instantly thought of him too.

 

[LastDreamer]

again
Now I'm 100 % sure that this year will be the worst in all ESC history for me.

 

[LastDreamer]

This ballad from Anete Volmane will heal ruined hearts and souls.

 

[Miloutchi]

it is really not a good sign when you wish the main artist would fall off the stage so that the other three singers can keep singing instead...

I really love LOVE the parts when the three are singing, but Samanta’s voice is so different, not a voice I generally like and it is not fitting this song at all. She ruins it for me. It is too bad, because the song on its own is the most appealing to me so far.
