How wrong can you be...

2pixies was very, very wrong this evening. We only got 3/6 right of the Latvian qualifiers in Dziesma. But after watching the show we can conclude that it was the strongest performers that went through. And oh my gotssschhhh, apparently they had run out of potatoes! Instead the qualifiers got drawn out of a mitten like a rabbit in a hat. Totally different experience. But that's Eurovision. You never know what you're gonna get. One day it's a potato, the next day it's something with mittens. We love it.

Something with mittens

Here's the qualifiers from tonight who'll compete in the final on February 22nd, along with the 6 qualifiers from yesterday.
Pēdējā Vēstule - Dons
If I Could (Get Away) - Eirošmits
Moment and Tomorrow - Katrīna Bindere
Lights On - Markus Riva
Revelation - Ralfs Eilands & Valters Pūce
You Are The Reason - Katrine Lukins
