Earlier this week, Latvia’s broadcaster LTV launched the Supernova People’s Jury. Fans have the opportunity to listen to all 63 Supernova entries and give a thumbs up or thumbs down for their favourite. But what do wiwibloggs readers think? Listen to the songs and vote in our poll!
In November, the 63 entries will be assessed by the Supernova jury. Their job is to select the songs that will make it to the Supernova heats next year. The exact number of songs that will be shortlisted hasn’t been confirmed, but last year’s Supernova had 22 songs competing.
To help out the expert jury, LTV has launched the People’s Jury. Fans can listen to all 63 songs and give a simple thumbs up or thumbs down. The overall rankings will be passed on to the expert jury and will inform their decision when they meet on November 5.
The 63 songs are presented anonymously, with the artist names removed. This hasn’t stopped fans from recognising some of their favourite Latvian stars in the line-up. Names like Markus Riva, Edgars Kreilis and Katrine Lukins have been suggested, and some are even sure they can hear electro diva MNTHA somewhere in there.
But what do y’all think? We want to know what songs are your favourites.
To listen to the songs, go to the People’s Jury page. There, you’ll need to connect with either your Facebook or Twitter account (or Draugiem.lv if you’re in Latvia). Once connected, you’ll be able to listen to each song and give a thumbs up or thumbs down.
Or you can refresh your memory with this recap medley:
Yes, there are a lot of songs to get through, but it’s the weekend and we know you can do this!
My favorite is SOLEDAD – JENNY MAY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6FregkdWN4
My favorite is Flashbacks!!!
My ranking:
1. If There is No Love (Magical!)
2. Younger Days
3. This Time
4. Soledad
5. I’m Ready To Get Along With You
6. Flashbacks
7. Ocean of Pain
8. Over The Clouds
Others I liked:
Don’t Be A Slave, Funny Girl, It’s Time, Baltic, Eyes, Just Fine, Haven’t Met You Yet, I’ll Never Let You Go, Intoxicating Caramel, I Wanna Celebrate, Save Me, To Let You Go Song, Take Me Home
The rest are plain garbage and should be disposed as such.
I won’t listen them, because it’s impossible to pick a favorite from over 60 songs. Different said, I have to trust the jury to pick the best songs.
Soledad = Jenny May <3 <3 <3
I actually hate classic kind of music but ”baltic“ is my number one here
“Younger Days” and “Baltic”….
The others…not my cup of tea. Nothing outstanding, no clear winner for Eurovision, so…
I gave a Patik to 16 songs. 6 of those I really liked and would love to see in the final.
Nothing really stands out.
great selection!!!! good stuff: Divi cilv?ki (STUNNING,) Eyes (love love love!!!!,) Flashbacks, Younger Days, Funny Girl (love it but needs a better title,) Loul (shoutout for singing in Livonian,) Esam?ba, Sapnu Dziesma, IKA decent: You Are My World, You, War of Flame (if better produced,) 1000 Roses, Who’s Counting, Circles, Be Here, Save Me, Sunset, Love Blush (needs better production) middling: Don’t Be A Slave, It’s Time, Bright Side, Baltic, Ocean of Pain (that title omg,) Just Fine, Laiva, Not Afraid, I Am Ready To Get Along With You, More Than Meets The Eye (reminds me of Joco from Germany’s… Read more »
Let’s be real… the overwhelming majority are plain awful
Markus Riva definitely did I’ll never let you go btw.
“Esam?ba” is outstanding
My top 10:
01. Laiva
02. Don’t Be A Slave
03. Just Fine
04. Stop The War
05. I Am Ready To Get Along With You
06. Say My Name
07. Baltic
08. What I Had With You
09. It’s Me
10. Walk The Talk
PS: If anyone is curious, the Livonian song is ‘Loul’.
Baltic, You Are My World, Loul, Staccato and Running Red Lights are my favorites.
Please tell me these are all demos and will be modified
These are all demos, but will only be modified if there is a budget and a will. Such is life. 🙂
My Favorites are:
Running Red Lights
Circles
You Are My World
Flashbacks
Walk the Talk
Just Fine
Staccato
Sap?u dziesma
Baltic
A strong selection in my opinion, I just really the great club bangers and beautiful Latvian language songs don’t lose to out some cheap Markus Riva song or that Aminata written one
I don’t remember them all tbh, but Staccato was one of those I liked.
My top 3:
1. Younger Days
2. Staccato
3. Baltic
There are some good other songs, but some others really forgettable…
How many songs will go to the semi-finals?
Only 22 of them
Younger Days sounds so Aminata. Vocalist I guess is Edgars Kreilis who was with her ina songwriting camp few months ago
Edgars Kreilis is indeed the singer. Younger Days kinda reminds me of Heartbeat by Justs mainly due to the vocals.
That moment when you don’t have facebook and neither a twitter account xD
You’re not alone. Don’t worry.
Create a fake profile, then delete it after.
And break the precious “terms and conditions”? Haha.
Be very careful with such cavalier advice.
Lol Twitter is full of trolls and bots, I probably have hundreds of “people” blocked. They should do something about that before worrying on short-lived fake profiles.
Yep, too right. 🙂
Let’s see what they do… if they do anything.
IKA ==> MNTHA
This time ==> Markus riva
You’re wrong.
IKA is performed by Elizabete Bal?us
I also like many of them! I have a feeling Supernova 2018 has so many better songs than 2017. Well done!
But I don’t think I can vote in the poll, I started listening to the songs yesterday and I forgot half of the titles. And I assume you cannot listen to the songs more than once, once you have voted?
Thanks!
Weird. When I connected today again, a song I had already voted on was played again.
I like quite a lot of them
