It’s the national selection that just keeps giving, whether we like it or not, and now, we can finally say that Lithuania is ready for the semi-final stage of their competition Eurovizijos. Last week’s heat saw six acts qualify to the semi-final, and this week’s heat decided on the last six qualifiers for next week’s semi-final.
A total of 12 acts performed this week, and the heat featured a number of the hot favourites to take out the entire competition. Here’s the line-up:
-
Živilė Gedvilaitė – Melody
-
Audrius Petrauskas – In My Bones
-
Agnė Michalenkovaitė – Going On
-
Saulės kliošas – Įkvėpk ir nepaleisk (Man gaila)
-
Greta Zazza – Broken Shadows
-
Ruta Loop – Positive Thoughts
-
Marija – This Love
-
The Roop – Yes I Do
-
Elizabeth Olshey – Bejausmis
-
Monika Marija – The Truth
-
Gabrielius Vagelis – The Distant
-
Ieva Zasimauskaitė – When We’re Old
As we know from previous weeks, the qualifiers are decided through both jury votes and televoting, so let’s go through the voting for this week!
We’ll start with the jury voting, and unsurprisingly Ieva Zasimauskaitė took out the 12 points once again. She topped her heat all the way back in week 1 of the shows, and clearly the love for her performance hasn’t faded. Coming in 2nd with the jury was Saulės kliošas but also Monika Marija who tied on 10 points. Next was Audrius Petrauskas with the song In My Bones.
Now to the televote, where the results differed quite a bit this week. With the 12 points was Marija with the song This Love, which actually received zero points from the jury. With 10 points was The Roop, and with 8 points was Ieva Zasimauskaitė.
With some discrepancies between the two, the combined scores would be more important than ever. Coming in first place was Ieva Zasimauskaitė with her song When We’re Old, and then Monika Marija with the song The Truth. In third was Saulės kliošas.
Here’s the full list of qualifiers:
