Juries votes for quality, what Latvia did is quality. It's not always "ballads" that juries saved because from 2016 they've saved 3 rock songs already, Georgia 2016, Albania 2018, and The Netherlands 2018. While there's non to televotes.

This is lovely. Sad, but lovely. At one point, Luke says 'I know there will be angry fans out there'. Damn right.

I feel at ease now, after I saw what the commentator from Latvia said.
What was that?

It didn't stand out at all, unfortunately. As much as I loved them as performers, nothing managed to hold my attention here.
I would love to see Aminata coming back, I think she would quick set
on the right track.

It was a great performance and Sudden Lights definitely did not embarrass Latvia unlike Samanta Tina or PeR. As band that has matured so much in recent years they are going to have a great career in Latvia no matter the result gotten here. Citi Zēni, Musiqq and Triana Park are great examples.
Latvia simply does not need this competition at all, especially when voting system in semi-finals is not made by a wise mind. LTV would do nothing wrong by leaving the contest that has 0 value in Latvia anyway. Latvians would definitely not miss being part of something that has been reveived very negatively here for years.

@Alevender I know that it's nothing compared to the amount people watching the grand finale but sudden lights gained fans across Europe thanks to esc: it is still a way to showcase the local music scene and make artists gain fans / listeners. It would be sad to see Latvia not taking part.

Yesterday I bought their three albums because I needed comfort and my comfort zone is to buy cds and vinyls, lol.

I think every artist gains some new fans despite their placement. That’s why they shouldn’t be too sad. I know, easier said than done, I am still devastated myself because they didn’t made it…
But I wish them lots of new fans! I hope they gain their momentum now.

Regarding Latvian voting tonight, I am curious if Czechia, Norway and Switzerland will get points, since there are more tourists than usually from these countries here now.

ROTW 8 points, my votes is totally worth it.
Literally the case scenario I didn't want to see :') and were my top 3 of the semi (with ) so even if sudden lights qualified I would have lost Luke Black
Why can't I ever win.................................
