Latvia: I hear your heart

Latvia debutted in the Eurovision in Stokholm back in 2000 with an impressive, but fair, 3rd place. The following year they endend up in 18th place, but in 2002 they were back to the good results. In fact they won the Eurovision Song Contest that year, with Marie N. and that “song” called I wanna. It was only their 3rd participation.
After two years with dissapointing results, the duo Walters & Kaza managed to get a place in the 2005 final and ended the contest in 5th place.
In my opinion Latvia’s best song so far was My Star, but the most original has got to be this year entrant I hear you heart by the group Cosmos.
This song was written by Molly-Ann Leikin and Guntar Racs and composed by Reinis Sejans and Andris Sejans and will be performed without any instruments. It will be all done by the vocal habilities of the 6 cosmos boys. I wonder if their oral skills are just as good?!
Definitely original. Maybe even original enough to secure them another good result.
Its brings something new to the contest so its nice that they are in the final already. Can this be Latvia’s second victory aproching???
Points for the song: 7 (in 1 to 8, 10 and 12)
And for the video: 3 (in 1 to 5)

Belgium calling… Just sounds, not even a song.
Don't know if this will work on the big ESC stage!
Very difficult to enjoy.
I give it 6 points in 20 possible.

Welcoming this song are Secret Garden with Nocturne, a song that initially didn’t have any singing at all.
