    I have a feeling they weren't really allowed to qualify becuase of the audience screaming 🐱, and the uncensored "being green is sexy as f*ck".

The absolutely killed it on stage, where some of the qualifiers felt like they weren't particulatly stand-outs. Clearly there's a heavy preference for slow emotional type songs at Eurovision (case in point the Jury vs Public votes for Keiino in 2019), which is honestly really bogus in my opinion.

    Очень жаль, что Латвия не прошла в финал. Это был один из самых запоминающихся, ярких, энергичных, веселых номеров. Парни такие живые, обаятельные, артистичные. Песенка такая свежая, светлая. А солист в зелёном костюме невероятно подвижный, красивый, элегантный. Это - сама молодость и таких артистов надо поддерживать, пока они не обросли жирком и "заслугами". Но европейский зритель почему выбрал в финал несколько совершенно бесцветных, нудных песенок и не пропустил латвийский номер. Жаль. Не понимаю я этих вкусов публики.
