Re: LITHUANIA 2016

Have the other songs in next week's show been released?

Found a few

Catrinah - Be Free https://youtu.be/PqGcfj4yJ3g

Eglė Jakštytė – Leisk dar būti https://youtu.be/JncVZAOgdKs

Lawreigna - Falling https://youtu.be/y5webbZio3E

Ugne Smile - You Don't Know https://youtu.be/3mkDGUamLTk

Valdas Lacko - Stay tonight https://youtu.be/ODSQpS1nvWk

Couldn't find a songs of Ruta Sciogolevaite - United (it's known that she won jury voting, Catrinah was 2nd), Istvan Kvik and Elada - Please Don't Cry, Jurgis Bruzga "GoOne"


Regarding yesterday, it's quite strange to say, but I kinda liked Donny Montell entry

Re: LITHUANIA 2016

Just saw Donny...wtf a normal modern song from Lithuania!

That's a stretch, it's written by Swedes.

Petunija was my favorite from the first show. I can actually imagine her song being turned into an interesting, professional package on the Eurovision stage, and it sounds more representative of independent Lithuanian music than anything else I've ever heard in their selections. I'm not optimistic that it's going to happen, because she's not a jury-friendly vocalist... that's probably just how she sings and it suits what she's doing, but it's not accurate and polished enough for Eurovision.

Donny is pretty good actually, much better than in Love is blind. I think Lithuania has a winner this year.

I'm very happy that "Behind The Moon" made it to the next stage of the Lithuanian selection :D Such a cool guitar solo and I love the guy with the epic beard ! :D

Donny Montell has by far the best song though ;)

Re: LITHUANIA 2016

Donny now looks like a mixture of Danny Saucedo and Alexey Vorobyov :? And that's not a compliment from me because it reminds me of countless Melodifestivalen male participants.

He was way cuter in 2012. (Sorry not sorry :mrgreen:)

The funny thing for me is that people say he has matured and so on but I think he now looks like a 16-year-old Bieberish schoolboy and not like a decent contestant for Eurovision!

He looks just more gay than he did in '12 ;)
Back then I could've said he was really cute but this time, it's definitely not my cup of tea, doh.

Re: LITHUANIA 2016

Yeaah... no. I don't think Donny Montell's song is a winning song. Top 15, perhaps.. Top 10 if lucky. Granted, it's good. It hits you immediately, which is perfect for this contest. Better than most pop songs I've heard in the national finals so far (besides Hungary's). His confidence as a performer will work well for him, but we know that already. It lacks a certain authenticity and originality to make him really stand out, though, and the quality is pretty darn good, but not the best of the best, it definetly couuuld be better. I haven't heard any of the other songs in the Lithuanian selection yet, but if they end up picking this, I'd give it a strong 8+. And I like the video, even if it's full of hipster aesthetics and cliches, lmao. :D

I found that 'Waiting for this night' written with a sharpie on her shoulder in the end of this video to be quite funny... Seemed like some sort of an after-thought that someone came up with while filming it. I was thinking they could have at least made it look like some sort of a tattoo with the writing being in a script font, lol. That would have made more sense.

Re: LITHUANIA 2016

The way Donny dresses and the atmosphere portrayed in his video are really cringey when you consider that he's 28 years old with a wife and a child. :lol:

Re: LITHUANIA 2016

I think this is my favorite so far, entry by Catrinah. Donny Montell is too cringe-worthy and Erica Jennings is a bit too gospelish.

First participant Jurgis Brūzga - seems like a pretty ordinary, not very memorable song...

Ugne Smile (Avril Lavigne impersonator) - pretty weak vocals yet again, song might have some potential.
