Who will win the lucky potato heads tonight?

In just a few hours it's time for the second semi final in Latvia. Who will win tonight's potato heads?

We have once again listened and can conclude this is the stronger semi. Here's what we think:

1. Ralfs Eilands and Valters Pūce – Revelation
Ralfs Eilands was a part of PeR, who represented Latvia last year. Will he do it again? It's a different song from last year, and good different. High quality music and a different approach to a Eurovision tune. We like. Will qualify.

2. Katrine Lukins – You are the reason
Modern pop/rock tune, easy to the ear and catchy with some standout hooklines. Katrine has a great voice, hope she can pull it off on stage. Will qualify.

3. Mad Show Boys – I need a soul-twin
Will Tom have Jerry and Bonnie have

Clyde after tonight? A folkish on the Latvian road feeling. Will qualify.

4. Markus Riva – Lights on
Uptempo but slow.

5. Anete Volmane – Breathe slow
Nice ballad. The Latvian Miley Cyrus after she dumped Hannah Montana?

6. Rolands Ūdris – What if it was
Singer/songwriter meets pop meets country meets hard rock. Confused.

7. Katrīna Bindere – Moment and tomorrow
Nice to the ear. This moment, and maybe tomorrow. Star potential.

8. Andris Kivičs – Pa vidu tu
Hoppelihop, pixies hats are off. Latvian is a great language. Swinging from side to side. Can't stop. Wanna jump. We're already singing along. Will qualify.

9. Dons - Pēdējā vēstule
Eurovision drama with Dons. But will there be a big choir on stage?

10. Sabīne Vidriķe – Is it possible
Latvian disco. Yes, that is possible.

11. Sabīne Berezina – Pressure
Diva warning. Is she the new ballad queen? Will qualify.

12. Eirošmits – If I could (get away)
Aerosmith or Europe? Very rock, indeed. Will qualify.

Waiting for Emmelie in Tivoli

Eurovision Song Contest 2013 found its winner last night. Emmelie De Forest from Denmark won with her song "Only Teardrops" written by Lise Cabble, Julia Fabrin Jakobsen & Thomas Stengaard.

Today we went to Tivoli to greet Emmelie and her team with over 30.000 other people.
The Prime minister also sent a special greeting to Emmelie, who performed her winning song on Tivoli's big stage.

Tivoli was crowded and everyone wanted to see a glimpse of the Danish winner.

We are really exited to see which city will be hosting the event in 2014. We cross our fingers for Copenhagen. We know DR is deciding as we speak.

We had hoped our PeR guys had gone to the final but otherwise it has been some great Eurovision weeks. Thank you to our new friends from Latvia and we can't wait to see you again.

This marks our end of this Eurovision 2013 journey and also, this is the last post in this blog for a while. We will leave it open, because you never know - 2pixies can't keep away for too long.
