Latvia’s Supernova 2017 is proving to be very unpredictable so far. Both of our heats poll winners, Katrina Cirule and Markus Riva, have not even got through to the semi-final. A number of Wiwi Jury favourites — like UP and Laura Lo & Chris Oak — also fell by the wayside.
Now there’s a much smaller field though and the results are less brutal. Eight acts remain, with four spots in the final open. As always, two acts will make it through on the public/Spotify vote, whilst two will be spared by the jury.
My Radiant You will certainly go in as one of the favourites this weekend. They received great comments from the jury, ranking top not only with them but also the public vote. Triana Park and Lauris Valters also seem to have got a good reception from their live performances. But the question is: who do y’all want to see win the semi-final and move on?
You can check out all eight acts live below, then vote in our poll afterwards. You can vote for as many of the acts as you like, but you can only vote once. Make sure you’re confident in who you’re picking, y’all!

[polldaddy poll=9665201]Be sure to let us know who your favourite is in the comments section as well. We’ll be closing the poll on Sunday morning with results to follow before the show!
Line is a trainwreck.
At least My Radiant You, Triana Park and Lauris Valters should make the final.
Lol…..soy…..same here….he has a pseudo- Cushing’s face and who keeps a single performer’s name ‘The’ Ludwig
The Ludvig and Santa Danelevica should win.
Soy, what a piece of s h * t you are? :))
Ugh I just think its so sad that we have another clearly corrupt NF. There is absolutely no way that some of these songs should be in instead of Toms and Katrina. This spotify thing is ridiculous
I really like “Spiritual priest”! But I start losing hope with Latvia. Not sure if they’ll make it to the final.
i don’t like “line” as a song but that performance is insane
triana has to win (saying this as someone whose favorites are my radiant you, franco franco, and the ludvig)
Listen up, people! The Ludvig currently has the highest place (6th) on Latvian Spotify chart (not the viral (where he is in the top 5 with 3 other Supernovas songs), but the official one – based on streams), so stop with that fake stream thing! Oh yes, someone bought/hacked streams for him (and many other participants, including Markus Riva), but most of them are real.
Am I the only one who thinks the singer of Triana Park sounds almost exactly like Perrie Edwards or what? I haven’t seen anyone comment on that.
Anyways I love Triana Park and The Ludwig so those two are my picks for winning
Line 🙂 Tirana park again has a great song in their NF…after many interesting songs, their turn!
I kinda disagree with most of these comments, I think Franco Franco, Triana Park, and The Ludvig are quite good. Though maybe I find The Ludvig’s lyrics is so generic. They are my top three and hope one of them wins 🙂
Cant believe they chose TheLudvig out of other greater songs. Whatever, with all his Spotify rigged stuff anymore, I dont care. And so do the judges. But what I can say now is that Latvia wont reach a better result than Justs did, which is 14th. Out of all these songs, I have no favorites.
PS why does looking at Ludvig’s face makes me really want to punch him? I swear he has the most irritating face in the world.
Latvia screwed up so bad, they selected all the bad songs and left good ones out, even Toms’ amazing entry. I only like Miks here.
Has to be Triana Park! I actually like the song, which is something I can’t say about the others in this selection. Still no near as good as Justs and Aminata though
All I know is that My Radiant You should win the whole thing in Latvia. (See what I did there?)
My Radiant You and only My Radiant You!
Markus is out, so i don’t care
Triana Park would be the best option.. My Radiant You would be ok as well while Franco Franco and Miks Dukurs wouldnt be that bad.. The others would be awful..
Triana Park or My Radiant You. The rest doesn’t stand a chance at the contest.
I think ‘Line’ is the best song for Latvia. It’s interesting and different. ‘All I Know’ is also nice, but doesn’t live-up to the full potential of it’s content and lyrically seams unfinished. ‘Who’s in Charge’ is, on contrary, lyrically very well structured (question – question – answer – solution), but I find this kind of instrumental somewhat messy. ‘Up’ is extremely repetitive and seams like trans-inducing instrument. It’s pleasant enough to keep listening and repetitive enough to numb the listener. ‘Spiritual Priest’ has a really nice music, but painful lyrics in the chorus. It just makes no sense –… Read more »
only Triana Park, “Line” , the rest are so terrible.
