So that tiny lass with the sparse and drifty song may have won in Latvia last night, but the true star of Supernova was just a little bit furrier. The Riga Beaver has been wowing we semi-final regulars with the sound turned down for a number of weeks now, but finally they turned up his mic to the streaming world of Europe and he instantly became the biggest cult star of Eurovision 2015.
He may have been just the warm up man (erm, beast), but he kept us amused in the long gaps in between all the songs and chat, and treated us to this spectacular session of random freestyling in the raw.
I was lucky enough to be in the Supernova crowd last night, and can report that he's every bit as much fun in real life as he is on a distant camera from the back of the hall. Riga Beaver, we salute you. Please come back next year!
I would be so happy if the Beaver was Latvia's points reader this year.
