Twenty two acts will compete at Supernova 2017 — Latvia’s search for its Eurovision 2017 act — but only one can go to Kyiv. To help you make an informed decision on who to pay attention to, the Wiwi Jury – our in-house panel of music unprofessionals – will preview and review each of this year’s acts. So get your beavers ready, because we’re going to pick our favourite for Latvia!
Our jury this time consists of 15 jurors. They hail from Australia, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Morocco, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Russia, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. We’re bringing you that international flavour!
Each juror assesses each song independently, and awards each song a score from 0 to 10. Before calculating the Wiwi Jury verdict, we drop the highest and lowest scores to reduce potential bias and outliers.
We’ll be unrolling these one by one over the coming weeks. You can read the completed reviews by clicking on the song title.

From the looks of the first quarter-final, Supernova 2017 has not surprised me at all. I don’t think, that Latvia will qualify for the Eurovision final.
