He has fans from talent shows. Better song than last year. I thought it would be between him and Vilija for the second spot.WHAT THE FUCK WHO THE HELL VOTED FOR NOY LITHUANIA WHAT THE ACTUAL IMMA KILL SOMEONE
Nah, mate, I don't think we're giving up on it. I'd say NF participants is one of the key elements to judge and it's quite similar story like every year - no big names as usually as they are simply in no need to take risks and maybe screw up, which would damage their image, then among participants like always few better known artists, some tries to remind of themselves, someone who tries year by year and then bunch of unknown or little known artists, who are there to show off on big stage and in Lithuania NF is the best chance for newbies to do it as it has quite high TV rankings. If you won't snatch a record deal, then you might simply put "NF participant" in your CV and get invitations or raise your price tag in some festivities. And then it goes to songs, one year might be better, one worse, you can never know with that. So far this year is quite dull, maybe only Anyanya and Petunija standout from first two heats, but we still have 3 to go, maybe among remaining ones we'll have some surprise entry like Silvester was last year, who was pretty much unknown to most, or maybe not, we'll seeSurprised Vilija didnt get the 2nd place,very very poor so far from Lith this.A few years ago their selections were full of great entries and talented artists.It feels like some countries who were getting competitive are giving up again.Lets hope for some gems to come though.
I understand your point of view but You do have to remember that the format is different compared to 2017-23 (bar 2021) where it was only 3 or 4 heats followed by semifinals and finals. No 2nd round last or this year and 5 semis to get through. My guess is most of the really mediocre songs are placed in the first 3 shows and it gets stronger after that.Surprised Vilija didnt get the 2nd place,very very poor so far from Lith this.A few years ago their selections were full of great entries and talented artists.It feels like some countries who were getting competitive are giving up again.Lets hope for some gems to come though.
Yes that could be right.A few years ago the selection was getting so good it looked like they were heading towards maybe a win at some point and the selection itself becoming one of the premier selection shows.It seems to of dropped a lot ,but like you say it could be they are simply filling it out early to get more screen time for their investment.I thought Petunija was more like it.Look forward to the rest of the heats.I understand your point of view but You do have to remember that the format is different compared to 2017-23 (bar 2021) where it was only 3 or 4 heats followed by semifinals and finals.

I have three songs I liked very much so not a disastrous start. Only Petunija made it to the final out of those but that's not a surprise as much as Ruta B and Viktorija were quality for me in different ways. There are still over a dozen Lithuanian songs to perform.
If you go back to say 2020 i would say Lithuania had one of the strongest selection shows of the year,or the last several years anywhere.Monique and The Roop both potential ESC top 5,and quality fun entries from Ruta and KaYra.That year seemed to of built on previous years where they were getting better and better,but then that progress seemed to stop.The show itself is still great,but seems to be lacking that fun and quality.I think Lithuania could win ESC at some point,so i guess i put a bit more pressure on them because i know they have what it takes,lets hope for the rest of the heats.Nah, mate, I don't think we're giving up on it.

Unfortunately didn't work for Aistay or Ruta.Lithuanians just love mirrors who knew
You have a point, we had some good selection shows and even possible ESC winner with The Roop back in 2020. But overall it's inevitible to have a bad year for a country like Lithuania, I don't know if it will be this year, but it will come sooner or later, cause our artists pool is quite small and the best ones doesn't even show up, while you can hardly bet on newbies to bring quality everytime, so it's pretty much impossible to keep a bar high. Anyways, I'm not worried as long as TV rankings won't drop significally and at least this concept of participants will remain, so there will be some good ideas, maybe not each given year, but there'll be some, I'm quite optimistic about itIf you go back to say 2020 i would say Lithuania had one of the strongest selection shows of the year,or the last several years anywhere.Monique and The Roop both potential ESC top 5,and quality fun entries from Ruta and KaYra.That year seemed to of built on previous years where they were getting better and better,but then that progress seemed to stop.The show itself is still great,but seems to be lacking that fun and quality.I think Lithuania could win ESC at some point,so i guess i put a bit more pressure on them because i know they have what it takes,lets hope for the rest of the heats.
He performed last night at the taping of Semi 4. Also your dear beloved Monika Liu was in the jury for that semi.It's no Cepelininis Dangus but I'm glad my favourite little Lithuanian freak Joseph June has given us a banger in Lithuanian
