Lithuania LITHUANIA 2018 - Ieva Zasimauskaitė - When We're Old

[GRE]

English but with the final verses of the song in Lithuanian. So we'll hear Lithuanian on the Eurovision stage for the first time in a while!

It's not the first time.

So a little bit Lithuanian, well better than nothing I guess but for sake of authenticity and originality I'd say they should go all in but I'm sure it won't be the case...

It's not the first time.

"in a while"

Our debut entry was entirely in Lithuanian so 22 years without it is indeed "a while".

Now after listening to it a few times I have to say, it's rather boring. I usually love piano ballads and this genre is rather undermanned this year. But this song doesn't get me even when I like the lyrics. It's not carrying you away. I miss something. So with good will I'll give 4 points.

The Eurovision YouTube channel just uploaded the English-only one as the "official video" :?

Ieva is great singer ans song is very romantic, but this is a little bit boring and very flat. I have a feeling that it lasts for half an hour, and nothing is happening

Let's say 4 points for now

Best Lithuanian entry in...forever? Sweet, but also with a quiet intensity. Quality piece and interesting vocal style. I don't think it can qualify from the bloodbath of semi 1, but It might have a small shot with the juries.

8 points from me. Well done on making the right choice.

Poor ...but it's not your selection wrong..Any of the contestants of the Lithuanian NF would be so difficult to qualify in this semi...
So boring and forgetable....

Terrible song :?

shitty attempt to obtain When We Were Young v2.0

Because they haven't got a video for the bilingual version yet where the two lines from the Lithuanian version are extracted and pasted on the two lines of the English version... so leave it be... although yes she's intending to sing the Lithuanian lines in Lisbon, and even change her stage name.

THE GOOD:
-The song has good vocals for what it is.
-It's also got a lovely message.

THE BAD:
-It's very boring to listen to.

THE VERDICT:
This'll be the bathroom break song for me, folks. I doubt that it'll qualify for the Final, even with any changes made. I'll give it its one chance come May, but I have my doubts. 7 points

Already forgot this Masterpiece?

Yes. That's exactly what I've done. Completely forgotten it.

A Paula and Kotryna collaboration next year needs to happen. It would probably be too hot for people to handle, but seeing them perform together is now my dream.

Like a cake with a thick layer of decency and you are full and sick before you reach the delicious core of chocolate.
