"What for?" - Aisha
The Latvian Final was held on February 27th at the Juras Varti Theatre House in Ventspils, hosted by Ugis Joksts & Kristine Virsnite. The winner was chosen in two rounds of voting - firstly to select the top 3 and then to select the winner. The voting in both rounds was a mixture of televoting (50%) and an "expert" jury (50%) - points were awarded in terms of placings (1st place = 1 point etc), therefore the 3 lowest scoring songs progressed to the second round where the lowest scoring song was chosen as the winner. As there was a tie at the end of the second round, the televoting (which Aisha won) took precedence.
