Only Mr. God Knows

Latvia has decided - Aisha to Oslo!

Tonight, Latvia has selected whose name is going to stand on the boardning cards travelling to Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo.

Out of 10 final songs the televote decided three compositions to enter the Grand final:

Dons - My religion is freedom
Ivo Grisnins - Grislis - Because I love you
Aisha - What for? (Only Mr. God knows)

When the results of the second round of the televote were equally added up with the opinion of the jury, the winner song was selected:

1. Aisha - What for? (Only Mr. God knows)
2. Dons - My religion is freedom
3. Ivo Grisnins - Grislis - Because I love you


esctoday.com poll results

The esctoday.com poll voters did not completely share the same opinion as the Latvian audience. The only entry both the poll voters and Latvians strongly agreed on was What for? performed by Aisha (27.8%). The other two grand final songs, My religion is freedom (4.0%) and Because I love you (2.3%) shared respectively 8th and 9th places out of ten in the poll chart.

esctoday.com national final awards 2010

The 2010 esctoday.com National Final Awards will be held between April and May, which means between the national final season and the Eurovision Song Contest. We will repeat the same format with two rounds for nominations which was used this year - you can read how it works here. However, this time the individual polls for each country will always be held right after the national final, when the entries are still fresh. You can vote for your favourite performance not to qualify in the Latvian national final here and for your favourite song not to qualify here.  

The Latvian entry for Eurovision Song Contest 2010 will be performed in the first semi final held on May 25th.

Aisha- What for

@paul cl

I totally agree with u, this song would sound better in Latvian instead of English! (L) :(

OMG, how depressing! "what for, are we living?!" (and it's bad English too...bad singer too!), makes you want to head for the medicine cabinet/razors...etc, and not only for the lyrics either...BAAAD!!

Can they not take 4 washing machines on stage that makes so much noise, you can't hear her horrible voice anymore ?

Boring song and a crap singer.... what a combination ! She will need a lot more than a few washing ladies to take away the attention of her horrible voice.....

Aisha and her laundry ladies.........interesting but melancholy performance. She should improve her singing, quite shaky vocals. Good luck in Oslo, Latvia !

Not a fan of Latvian entries but this one is GOOD without a doubt :D Best of luck in Oslo

@ Karen W:
For me music is more important than lyrics in most cases, but the whole package is important too. And I have a very diverse taste. Romania last year was very boring for me as a whole though the performance was not without charm. But it didn't fit. Or do Balkan Girls party in nature dressed as elves?

some people don't understand that she's got a little stress...and this is why she sang badly...


@Little Imp

You are so right :P Eurovision is about having fun not inspiring people to fall into depression. There is enough contributing factors in world as it is.

Little lmp
I understand you, but on the other hand I can bet you don't like ESC songs with lyrics like Romania last year and those stuffs, so Aisha's lyrics are AMAZING comparing to them! :D
I like her theatrical performance coz she did it good! :)
