"Sastregums" - Intars Busulis

"You might think it is superb to be stuck in a traffic jam"

The Latvian Final was held on February 28th at the Olympic Center in Ventspils hosted by Ugis Joksts & Kristine Virsnite. Before the final there was a semi-final - click here for details: LATVIAN SEMI-FINAL 2009 The winner was chosen in two rounds of voting. In the first round the top 3 songs were chosen by 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 winner was chosen by televoting.
