SUPERNOVA 2019 (LATVIA): MY TOP 16 | LilaESC

My Top 16 of Supernova 2019, the Latvian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2019. Opinions are all my own, and if you disagree I'm sorry. I own none of the songs in this video, and all rights are reserved to the original performers, songwriters, and record companies. 

The jury definitely did their job well because the original audition videos were a complete mess, but I think they were able to choose the actual best 16 songs to move on to the actual show. Originally Supernova 2019 sounded like a nightmare, but with all the weak entries weeded out it doesn't sound too bad, just mediocre. If any of my top ten-ish win then Latvia will probably have a mid-board placement in my top, and if any of my top four win then they can expect something even better. I don't hate any of these songs, but I don't see a winner and I think they may struggle for qualification. Also, Samanta Tīna and Markus Riva both need long breaks away from Eurovision national finals.
