Song 9: Gabrielius Vagelis – "Šauksmas"
Another ballad, this one sung by Gabrielius Vagelis. He has a good voice, and sang well. I haven't seen an English translation of the lyrics, but based on my first time viewing / listening of this performance, it sounds like a rather sad song. It's generally quite slow, but for some mysterious reason, gets a little livelier near the end. The white squares and diamonds (blue near the end) on the background screens enhance this song.

Michael rice wants his bad staging back

 

[simori95]

Monika and her song just do something with my feelings that make me love them a lot!

 

[Looren]

I looove Stay

10. Monika Linkytė – “Stay”
solid ballad but not more 4,5/10

 

[Mainshow]

Ruta, Petunija or Gabrielius , pls and will be part of my current Top 10

"Stay" is alright - there are beautiful parts but also some exhausting sequences. It´s difficult to rank this song Oo

 

[PlasticToad]

This feels very top 5 in Eurovision 2014, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's kind of nicely nostalgic. Not sure it would be strong enough in this year though.

 

[Iker]

That song no 10 is very boring.

 

[mauve]

Well, would love to have Gabrielus, but that won't happen. So probably team none. Means I agree and disagree with everyone else.

 

[MopManMoss]

There have been lots of minor staging changes tonight compared to previous performances and I think none of them have made any difference

 

[Mainshow]

The juries are not composed the same way like in the semi finals, right? so maybe there´s still a chance to see some different rankings today!

 

[Etanna]

If it were up to me, I'd like to see "Need More Fun" or Ruta at Eurovision

 

[Looren]

Praying for Gabrielius surprise win

 

[heke1988]

English subtitles would be nice.

Song 10: Monika Linkytė – "Stay"
The final song already, and it's another ballad. I'd say this is one of the better ballads tonight. Monika has a beautiful voice, and sang well. Whether or not this would succeed at Eurovion is another matter though.

 

[MopManMoss]

English subtitles would be nice.

This isn’t for us though is it it’s for a domestic audience we should be happy that it’s easily accessible, UMK is very extreme in how internationally accommodating it is

Gabrielius Vagelis Gabrielius Vagelis Gabrielius Vagelis

But I will also accept Ruta Mur or Paulina

 

[RainyWoods]

Gabrielius Vagelis - Šauksmas = 10/10
Petunija - Love Of My Life = 10/10
Monika Linkytė - Stay = 8/10
Mario Junes - Do What You Do = 8/10
Il Senso - Sparnai = 8/10
Rūta Mur - So Low = 7/10
Paulina Paukštaitytė - Let Me Think About Me = 7/10
Justė Kraujelytė - Need More Fun = 5/10
MooBee - Rumour = 5/10
Beatrich - Like A Movie = 3/10


I wasn't expecting to enjoy this final as much as I did. Great variety and a lot of solid songs performed very well. The one song I actively dislike is going to win though, isn't it? I'm prepared in advance.

Haven’t followed this NF as closely this go-round. Is it finally Gabrielius’ year??
