Norbert of ESC Dublin to Amsterdam also reports on Latvia, one of 7 countries to select their 2023 Eurovision entry tonight.
After 2016, the Latvians have not been able to qualify for the final. Tonight the winner of Supernova will be chosen and it must be clear who should end that series. After a preliminary round last week with fourteen candidates, four dropped out and we will therefore see ten candidates in the final tonight. A jury and televoting determine the result. Last week only an intermediate score was given of the televoting in which the band Sudden Lights received by far the most votes.
The candidates are
01 Alise Haijima – Tricky
02 Luize – You to Hold Me
03 Raum – Fake Love
04 Toms Kalderauskis – When It All Falls
05 Artūrs Hatti – Love Vibes
06 Patrisha–Hush
07 Sudden Lights – Aijā
08 24. Avēnija – You Said
09 Avei – Let Me Go
10 Markus Riva – Forever
