Η Marie N έφερε τη Λετονία στην πρώτη τους νίκη στη Eurovision στο Tallinn με το τραγούδι “I Wanna”. Η συναρπαστική της εμφάνιση περιλάμβανε μια δραματική αλλαγή στιλ από ένα λευκό κοστούμι και καπέλο trilby σε ένα εντυπωσιακό κόκκινο φόρεμα. Η Λετονία έλαβε “δώδεκα πόντους” από εννέα χώρες, βοηθώντας τους να κατακτήσουν 176 πόντους και να κερδίσουν τον Διαγωνισμό για πρώτη φορά από την είσοδό τους το 2000. Συναντηθείτε στη Βασιλεία για τη Eurovision 2025!

Good memories, thanks for sharing❤❤❤
какое у нее обворожительное платье!! лучшее за всю историю евровидения
The Talinn Miracle..
Latvia not should participate because her bad result in 2002. But the quit of Portugal (not relegated by results) eventually could say present.
But until this day it wasn't among the favourites for winning. For example, Spain (was ended 7th) was a great candidate for the trophy.
And well, Marie N came, surprised everybody and like a fever the voters finally made the ESC fly to Riga.
2:20 Moment that made her win.When Eurovision became a circus show.
Så ska en slipsten dras. Tusen tack Lettland. 🇱🇻. 😂👍
Our hero. 😍🇱🇻
Possibly the worst and most undeserved winning song in Eurovision history
My mother was so upset Sweden didn´t send Mendez with Adrenaline to ESC 2002 , it would have been battle with Latvia
As a Latvian, I don't really like this song, but it was the show that worked. I remember when we won, we called up our friends and went out to celebrate in the streets of a suburb of Riga.
Say whatever you want, this is a deserving winner. It completely revolutionized the way performances were made. Also she's a hell of a perfomer!
Era un niño y fue de las primeras veces que vi Eurovisión…. ahí su actuación fue mi favorita
❤❤❤
I hope Latvia qualifies 3 years in a row
🎉🎉🎉welcome again 😮
I was 4y. when Latvia won. And i knowed this fact when i started watching Eurovision in 2015 😅
Proud to be Latvian ❤🇱🇻
Це неймовірне шоу! ❤
My favourite Eurovision song everrrr
Merry Christmas, Eurovision! Let God bless you in 2025 in Basel ❤🇨🇭
Omg…sounds a bit like Livin la vida by Ricky Martin 😮
One of the weakest ever winners, but kudos to Marie N for realising before anyone else that it wasn’t enough anymore to just stand static on stage and sing. To get votes from the public, you had to grab people’s attention. And she certainly did.
Talking Flower: Oh Hi Marie N!
Talking Flower Two: WHOA! Marie N Look Gorgeous and Latvian Lady She is!
Talking Flower Three: What Impressive Latvian Dance Moves Marie N…I Like It.

Talking Flower Six: Hey! Marie N How About to Say Just Between You and Me.
Talking Flower Seven: I Love Latvia So Much!
Talking Flower Eight: Yeah! So Am I!
All Talking Flower: Amazing!🏵️💕🌟📺🇪🇺🇱🇻
I know I am a bit weird but this is one of the best winners ever in my opinion. 😂🙈
Eurovision’un en kötü kazanan şarkısı. Hatta öyle ki, bu şarkı diğer senelerde yarışsaydı finale bile kalamazdı çoğunda.
Latvia was lucky at Eurovision 2002 three times before Marie N even took to the stage.
It was the EBU’s intention that only 22 countries would participate in Tallinn, the top 15 countries from the 2001 contest plus the seven countries that had been relegated from the 2001 contest. As Latvia had finished 18th in Copenhagen, it was out of Eurovision 2002. Latvia’s first stroke of luck was the EBU’s later decision to allow 24 countries to go to Tallinn, even if this decision didn’t help Latvia initially.
The decision did help the countries that had finished 16th and 17th in Copenhagen, Israel and Portugal, as it gave them a place for 2002. But…Portugal declined and voluntarily took a year out. This was Latvia’s second piece of luck.
With Portugal out, the final place for 2002 was then offered to the country that finished 18th in Copenhagen. However, two countries had finished 18th in 2001, the Netherlands and Latvia.
To decide which country would receive the place, the rules stated that the tie-break rule should be applied and the country that was awarded the most 12 points, and then 10 points, eight points and so on if necessary to break the tie, at the previous contest would qualify for Tallinn. Neither the Netherlands nor Latvia received any 12 or 10 points in 2001, but Latvia had received eight points twice and the Netherlands hadn’t received any, and so Latvia was on its way to Eurovision 2002.
There would be a different tie-break rule in place in 2003, and had that tie-break rule been in place in 2002, then the Netherlands would have been awarded the place in Tallinn.
My second favourite song after Cyprus entry
one of my fave winners! bring it home Latvia!
The winner of the year I was born 🥰
Much better winner than Estonia and Azerbaijan imo. Even if the song itself is dull, as some people say (personally I love the song), the performance made this winner memorable.
The fact that something like this nowadays wouldn't be able to qualify for the grand final let alone win the whole thing
Way ahead of it's time, which might explain why it won. Shame she simply disappeared after ESC, wonder if she still performs?
goat
Love this song ❤️ love from Portugal
While I am not a big fan of this winner, I am happy it transcended choreography in the Eurovision Song Contest. 🙂
Not my favorite winner in ESC history, but Latvia gave us one of the best editions that I still rewatch from time to time.
Who is from Latvia? 🇱🇻
Aye Yai yai yai yai!
It was a great achievement in the middle of Latvian Golden Decade 1994-2004.
Hello from Ukraine! Thanks for support to Great Latvia!
Today you think you think you are the weiner, today you think you are the king.
My favorite winner from all time 👌🏼
It was the only country participating to Eurovision?
NQ
With all due respect… Together with Azerbaijan one of the worst winners ever. Like the song is not bad bad, it's just mid
I remember watching this performance. I was 13
Malta should’ve won instead
only music, no woke… good times.
Seriously this in 2025? Wasn’t supposed to be. Something more modern😂? Vibes of 1970s years 😅😅
this song is so cool
One of the worst winning songs, along with 2001's 'Everybody" and 2011's "Running Scared"
A masterful performance and a deserved winner. Greetings from Spain.
