Tram, train... what is next?
[UPD] Latvia: Intars Busulis leaves to Moscow
A couple of weeks ago esctoday.com wrote about the press conference Intars Busulis and the Latvian Broadcaster (LTV) held on a tram claiming that it was one of the means of transportation that does not belong to Probka or traffic jams. To reach Moscow, the Latvians have decided to take a train, another vehicle which is not affected by a rush hour.
After paying a visit to Latvijas Krajbanka, one of the supporters of the Latvian delegation on their way to Eurovision Song Contest, Intars Busulis, his team and the journalists headed to have a coffee break at Narvesen which is another generous friend of the musicians. At the Narvesen store Intars received a suitcase with a sign – I sing the way I want! Riga – Moscow – Victory! – which he had to fill with the goods he considered to be of importance during the coming two weeks.
The members of the Latvian delegation wear unique badges designed especially for Eurovision 2009. The badge symbolises the idea of the song – "down with inhibitions, prejudices, bans and stereotypes and set the mind, creativity and heart free to enjoy the life without Probka! Sometimes Probka or traffic jams are not only on the streets, but in our heads as well. The song suggests letting the strict rules and regulations in our minds go and allow ourselves to seize the day".
On the platform, the media people as well as the arriving and departing passengers had an opportunity to listen to Probka performed live before the voice in the railway station speakers announced that the delegation and musicians had to head to their train.

Intars Busulis sends his greetings:
Probka will be perfomed by Intars Busulis representing Latvia at the second semifinal of the Eurovision Song Contests 2009.

The song is really interesting! Great lyrics! 
My support to Latvia!
But it seems the song will not pass to the final. 
Real originallity isn't well appreciated in Eurovision...
It is his PR to travel by train.
It is cheaper to go from Riga to Moscow by plane.
i dont like Latvia's song but that countrey have 90% to pass to the final 
Layla/Tom Kay - I'm agreeing wholeheartadly. Intars is adorable, in a cheeky monkey kind of way. The song is growing on me but its not a winner. I'll happily cheer Intars on at the show though.
Things are so bad in Latvia they can't afford to fly?
Has he got ADHD?
@Tom Kay
OMG! I agree. He is sort of cute in a monkeyish way! He is a bit interesting to watch and seems to have fun on stage. The song grew on me, but I expect them do do poorly
This really is the biggest yuck of the year. I miss 2000, and Brainstorm. Latvia had something to be proud of that year...!
Believe me - I have a feeling he is going to do MUCH better than in Esctoday predictions. There is some kind of mixture magic in his voice when he is using absolute alt.
You know, he's quite cute in a monkeyish way...
The song has grown on me, but I still expect it to do very badly...
