She was definately the best today!
Btw - I don't know if you know it, but Lithuania's singer will performed under name Ewelina Saszenko - she told the Polish press that Evelina Sasenko is a Lithuanian transcription of her name, but she is Polish, so she chooses the one she was born under.
Well done Ewelina for being brave in such choice. Lithuania is very negative about Polish transcriptions.

I´m very impressed about the first rehearsal of Lithuania.
+ I expect some comments from our TV about her obviously Ukrainian surname. I just hope that people won't be turned off by such "advertisement".

I don't like the song, but Evelina's performance was good. She surely can sing 
Too bad her song is so boring.

Singing performance, piano, backdrop... everything was perfect & combined well except her dress. It makes her look older and fatter (especially the belly). Wish the song was less boring...

Actually this dress suits the classic song. Lithuanian media are very positive about it
I said before that I began liking the song, and I think it is one of the better ballads this year. Evelina also has one of the best vocals, and she proved it on this rehearsal. Though, unfortunately, I don't see it in the final.
Her grandfather from paternal side was Ukrainian.
And as for bad advertisement:
-Ewelina, you live in Lithuania but your roots are in Poland. What is your attachment to Poland?
-I'm Polish but I live in Lithuania. Most of my ancestors were declared Polish but my grandfather from paternal side was Ukrainian, hence my surname. We speak Polish at home. Me and my elder sister graduated a Polish junior high. I took my first musical steps in Poland. I think, speak and dream in Polish - this is what certifies my nationality. Some call us Lithuanians, others Polish Lithuanians, others just 'locals'. But I'm just true-born Polish.
Surely this won't help her get votes from Lithuanians in the UK

Top part is fantastic but look at the medium part. If she'll wear it, she should wear a corset imo.

Wow. Time goes really fast and it's only a week left until Eurovision starts. I'm pretty excited about it. I've been thinking quite often about Evelina and Lithuania's chances this year in the contest. Well, I'm trying do not guess any results we'll reach. I've read much interviews from Evelina. She's very honest person, she was working hard all the time after the selection and so I think she definitely deserves to be in the final (all the participants deserve it, though, but I still want the best for my country of course). I still hope for the best and I'm wishing Evelina good luck. First rehersal was fine. She will have more rehersalrs before performance and I'm sure everything will be even better next time.

I think it has a chance with this performance. Everything works here.

Very very pity that such an amazing girl won't qualify. But that's the truth. Her semi-final is strong enough and we will have to say bye-bye to Evelina

She is obviously one of the better singers this year. I like the whole performance; it really suits the song. It would be a pity if she stays in the semi!

Good luck sweet Evelina tonight! I will cross my fingers for your passing to the final!

Uf, the big day is here and the big night is coming. I'm worried already. :/ And I hope for the best tonight of course.
