Deban: Anmary’s “Beautiful Song” has improved a lot since February. The official music video played a part in this. Also, Anmary has been on the road non-stop, and the familiarity of her tune has helped in shaping my listening preferences. With regards to the staging here, the simple choreography helps. However, why couldn’t she choose a more [...]
Wiwi’s Jury—a panel of music unprofessionals—had the misfortune of listening to Latvia’s Eurovision 2012 entry “Beautiful Song” this morning. Brace yourself, Anmary! This isn’t gonna be pretty.

This just in: Latvia will be eliminated during the semi-finals of Eurovision 2012. That’s because this tiny nation made the BIG mistake of choosing Anmary with “Beautiful Song.” Anmary is real cute. Her song is not. Recommend on Facebook Share with Stumblers Tweet about it Subscribe to the comments on this post Tell a friend
If Wiwi’s readers have their way, then the Mad Show Boys will win Eirodziesma 2012—Latvia’s national selection for Eurovision. Their song “Music Thief” has become a fan favorite for its witty lyrics that skewer pop music in general. If you read it, you’ll find references to more than a dozen other songs. It cracks us [...]

Latvia’s two semi-finals for Eirodzesma, its national selection contest, are now complete. You can watch all of the finalists below and also vote in our poll. Wiwi gives 12 points to the Mad Show Boys for their witty song “Music Theif.” But what do you think? Is Anmary’s “Beautiful Song” actually beautiful? Can Andris Abelite really change [...]
ROTFLMAO!! Latvia has not yet revealed the artists competing at Eirodziesma 2012, but it has revealed the songs. The entry called “Music Thief” had Wiwi, Vebooboo and Ms Kitty in stitches. The artist is clearly taking the piss. Either the Latvian judges have an awesome sense of humor or they don’t understand English. (That’s possible: [...]

Watch the official preview video of Amanda Bashmakova’s “Moondog.” Lyrics (in English) follow the video. “Moondog” lyrics: When the road leads home I know someone is waiting My good old friend You always keep me smiling Night won’t scare you Your fear’ll be blown away by wind You are my good old friend The moon [...]
Latvia’s Aisha was a lyrical trainwreck at Eurovision 2010 (“”Why does the wind still blow and blood still leak? So many questions now and no reply. What for do people live and die?”). So Wiwi watched the first semi-final of Lativa’s Eirodziesma contest with more than a bit of skepticism. In the end, five acts [...]
Last year Latvia’s Aisha had the worst lyrics at Eurovision. Her turn at existentialism made absolutely no sense. “What for are we dreaming?/ What for are we losing? Only Mr God knows why/ But his phone today is out of range.” WTF!?! She finished last in the semi-finals. She didn’t deserve that placement. She should have [...]
