The best part of this is that we'll now get to enjoy Monika Marija next year with another two songs that can only be stopped by a handsome man with an ok-ish one said about three people here.

No negative vibes please!

Next year will be the year of iconic trio Juna x Paula x Kotryna with their song "Justice"

Awww, I'm actually pretty sad Monika lost because I realized too late she looks exactly like Fievel Mousekowitz. So much meme potential down the drain. :(

Nothing special this song, the chorus is very unmemorable.
Monika Marija would've been great and then went with this bore, k.

Kotryna will definitely be back next year and hopefully Aiste too.

Now when I've cooled down down little bit ... I think it's not a bad entry at all, will not reach my top 10 of the year but I am not pissed off anymore that Monika lost with Jurijus. It's more like a decent radio-song than the ESC entry in my book though. I like the chorus, and the fact that he starts off the highest notes (falsettos) which is kind of unusual (I think it's a pretty underutilised concept in general in music, not only pop songs) and draws me in making me forced to pay attention to it. Jurijus is cute too. I give 7/12 for now.

I actually think that this is one of the better Songs in the ESC-year. He still might work on his vocals … Probably not making it to the Grand final, but it grows on me. Might upgrade soon. :D

It's :lt: so he can be in the SF top 5 with that song :lol: :?

To me it sounds very cheap and amateurish, sorry. I don't like it at all. 2 points from me.

I don't get the hype to be honest. It is very forgettable and it didn't make me listen to it once more after the first shot.

Well the people who were hyping this song over Monika Marija, I hope you're happy. What a cheap and amateur song :lol:
Lithuania got it wrong again. No doubt about it, Monika would've done a lot better at Eurovision than this.

6. Might change it up or down as I feel I need a few listens to know exactly how I feel about it. It's solid. Better than Monika's weaker song (Light On).

I like the song but it's so forgettable. Nothing really new or outstanding.

It is around the middle of my so-far studio-NF live ranking. I think this is the type of song that for many will be somewhat in the middle, so it does not bode well but everything is possible at the ESC. Lithuania last year is a good example, the way the song was presented and sung was magnetic and worked magic even for me eventually. Especially for something that seemed so bland as I listened for the firs time to Ieva's studio version.

I can only consent to everything you said. Let me put it like this: I can't even compare last year's entry from Lithuania to this one. leva's performance outshined, even though the song wasn't that brilliant. Still, I loved it. But "Run with the lions" is really mediocre, I gave it 4 points, but this year I gave so many entries 0-3 Points that 4 points seem almost like a leading to a good ranking . :lol:
