xshockxshockxshock ???? They would have to stage this in such a way that the song itself strangely disappeared for that to happen... I cant see this doing well. Even though Lithuania have some strange ways of sneaking into the final.

Do you like fire eaters? It is what I advised Donny to become to stand out for good. :mrgreen: That way, he could literally set the stage on fire for sure.

When I read Donny Montell I expected another boring toilet break song like "Love is blind" but this song is surprsingly refreshing for Lithuania (who use to bore me to death in ESC). Nice chorus :)

Love them!!! Put is a couple of giraffes as well... love them too! I might forget about this "heard-it-a-million-times-before" song.

I am having trouble at the top of my ranking now... I THINK Lithuania has jumped to the top!

I love this song, I think Lithuania could actually be a contender for the first time ever!

I would be so happy if Donny won in May!

Much Love to Lithuania!

I loved "Love is Blind" though everyone hated it, don't like this at all though, sorry.

Months of shows and they end up with... this. Sigh. I probably shouldn't be complaining, since it's not like I preferred any other song from the NF, but... I don't know, I just feel like Lithuania could actually send something good if only they spent half as much time writing the songs as they did on broadcasting their 617 heats each year. I mean, it's a competent entry - well-crafted, catchy, builds well - but it's just so empty and soulless that I have a hard time getting excited for it. I'll give it 5 points for now, because I'm feeling nice and I'm still deflated after Sweden's choice.

I think I'll just go and place this next to Ireland now in my 'it succeeds at what it tries to do but that doesn't mean anything when you set your sights so low' pile of mediocrity.

Lithuania chose wisely! :) They had very great songs in their selection that got eliminated the past weeks. Catrinah and Egle especially! And Donny had the only good song left :) 12 points! Love it!

"Written by Jonas Thander and Beatrice Robertsson" :rolleyes: Just saying... and the song title tells a lot about what to expect already tbh.
Some other foreign composers brought more interesting (and inspiring) tunes in the overall lineup imo :?

It's not a disaster, but it's incredibly vanilla. And we were entitled to expect better from a 10-show national selection process.

The song is quite good, miles better than his unbearable 2012 entry, but his live performance is VERY weak. He better fixes that to avoid unpleasant surprises, because there are many countries that really want to qualify this year. 8 points.

Good, but by the numbers. If anything elevates this song, is that Donny is actually a very likeable guy that has a presence. 7 points, maybe 8 with a right staging.

My comment on this entry: this man is a real eye candy. Damn, years suits him. He's got even hotter... Btw, is he perhaps gay? I was watching his clip and the way he moves his hands occasionally... Well, let me say only, my gaydar went on :)

Before the final he said that if he'd win the show, his performance would be miles better in Sweden, cause in that LT studio is simply impossible to realize all the ideas. He has a point here, we'll see what he and his producers will prepare in May

He is married and has 2yo daughter ;)

OMG I was tricked by his face, he still looks like a teenager to me :eek: (and I don't talk about his looks, just his face)

Indeed. I remember few years back we played basketball game against his team, he looked so childish without all the make-up and etc. Till that I really thought that he is in his teen years, and it was kinda shocking to know later that he is in his mid 20s, is about to get married and etc

He has a pleasent voice and first minute or so was quite listenable, but then it got just noisy and messy. I forgot the melody just seconds after listening to it. 3 points for now.

Either I have to call someone to fix my gaydar - it is obviously malfunctioning again - or no one tried to get him drunk... You know, everything is possible when people are drunk - even if they have kids xslap

Oh come on, guys, it is evident he is in his late 20's. With or without make-up :) However, I still like him - visually-wise - as a matter of fact, if this were a mister world competition, he'd get my x12s
