Meet Johnny Rogers

Latvia: Pirates of the Sea talk to esctoday.com

The latvian representatives of this years Eurovision Song contest have made their first rehearsal today and they have exclusively spoke to esctoday.com right after their press conference.

The "Latvian pirates" have talked today to esctoday.com and they confessed that the first rehearsal was one of a big success. The six members have also introduced us the seventh member of the band, Johnny Rogers, their teddy bear that will appear on stage with them. It seems that Ireland is not the only country that has a puppet on stage, although the latvian one is not singing as Dustin is.


Latvia has won the contest on 2002 and as they declared they are willing and hoping to win again this year.


Latvia is participating in the second semifinal which will take place on the 22nd of May.

Watch the whole interview below.

This song is ridiculous and deserves to come last. Shame on all the countries that send novelty songs.
