xpray I hope that guy won't be with her on stage, he just makes the whole performance so awkward, he ruins it.

I hope the bald guy stays. I actually really like the performance. Plus he looks nice (even if he is wearing my mothers Frank Usher sequinned cardigan):rolleyes:

By the new info there will be two male dancers with her (Vilija said)

Oh good, I hope those two guys are going to have individual dances and not try to touch Vilija as much as they can.

I have to disappoint you, because that bold guy will defenetly be with Vilija on the stage, but dance will be different and there will be some sort of surprise that she doesn't tell :)

"Attention" is one of my personal favourites this year. I hope it will make it to the final. Good luck from Germany!!

This song could have been a true smash hit, but somehow I get a sense of what should I call it - "untight". The song starts terrific with that slow exciting powerful beat, but when we reach the chorus, it seems someone increased the speed several times and the song just accellerate away. We never catches up on the beat. I guess it's the drummer that misses out on some milliseconds, I don't know. For me this aspect is really important so I find the song tiresome in the end. Pity, some extra days in the studio and they could have nailed it.

I really like the song, but don't think that it will reach the final, to difficult for simple listener and old school juries

Rehearsals are running far more efficiently today, so we are already straight into Lithuania’s performance ‘Attention’.
Lead singer, Vilija Matačiūnaitė begins singing with her arms interlocked with a male dancer. They look at each other and then dramatically break away from each-other onto opposite sides of the stage.
Vilija is wearing a black ballerina tutu and black and white patterned top. He is wearing an all black **** and trousers.
Throughout the performers interact with one another through abstract dance.
The stage is lit in electric whites and blues. Near the end of the performance a dozen plumes of smoke bellow out from beneath the stage.
Madeleine: I don’t really see the point of this performance, it’s just messy to me and I don’t know where to look. I’m just really not sure, I don’t see this performance working but I can’t put my finger on what exactly is wrong. I do like the smoke explosion that comes out in the front of the stage.
Olivia: Oh dear. Vilija does the best out of what is a somewhat of a musical travesty. Visually it is quite interesting, but frankly the dancing, the tutu – everything just feels forced. But certainly a confident execution.

There are some songs this year I just don't fancy, but they are "okay, let it just be, an average one, may appeal to other but not to me". But this... sorry, if I decribed it in one word it would be: annoying. Literally, my ears hurt. Both the chorus and pre-chorus parts are just horrible.
