LITHUANIA – Pabandom iš naujo! Heat 3 (20:00 CET)
Lithuania’s search is well underway now, and we are getting to the heat of the battle with the third and final heat of Pabandom iš naujo! 2022 this evening. Which of tonight’s 12 performers will make it through to the semi-final stage of the competition?
Tonight’s competing acts are as follows;
- Basas Pegasas – Ponai
- Rūta Loop – Call Me from the Cold
- Vasha – Nepaleidi
- Geleibra – Aš jaučiu tave
- Vilija Matačiūnaitė – Šimtas ir vienas
- Emilija Valiukevičiūtė – Overload
- Gintarė Korsakaitė – Fantasy Eyes
- Živilė Gedvilaitė – Lioness
- Monika Liu – Sentimentai
- Gebrasy – Into Your Arms
- Mėnulio Fazė – Give Me a Sign
- Lolita Zero – Not Your Mother
There are a number of notable names in this final heat to consider; former Lithuanian selection participants Rūta Loop, Gebrasy and Lolita Zero all feature, alongside Lithuania’s 2014 representative Vilija Matačiūnaitė with “Šimtas ir vienas” – Vilija’s 2014 exploits with “Attention” earned many fans in Copenhagen but saw Lithuania narrowly miss out on the final in 11th place in the semi-final.
Basas Pegasas are also finally able to perform, having previously been slated to perform in the first heat on 8th January, before their performance was postponed by COVID.
Tonight’s show will once again be hosted by the trio of Ieva Stasiulevičiūtė, Giedrius Masalskis and Richardas Jonaitis. A combination of televoting and jury voting will select the six acts proceeding from this heat into next week’s semi-final stage.
