The Wiwi Jury—our in-house panel of music unprofessionals—is busy reviewing the songs competing in this year’s national finals for Eurovision. As we planned this musical journey across Europe, we just couldn’t leave Latvia off our itinerary!

As such we are reviewing all 20 acts that have made it to the heats of the Latvian selection process Supernova. Each of our participating jurors — who hail from Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Finland, Greece, Morocco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Spain, the United Kindgom, and the United States — give their critiques of each song and award it a score out of 10. The scores are then averaged for the Wiwi Jury Verdict.
