Lithuania | Eurovizijos Semi Final Two- Final Four Artists Confirmed
Over the past month we have seen all of the heats for the Lithuanian national selection 'Eurovizijos Atranka'. The numbers have been chopped in half and between the two semi finals the cuts are going to be even more severe - with only 8 of the 24 songs still in contention advancing to the final (4 from each semi final) to be held on Saturday 23rd February.
The twelve performers in tonight's semi final were:
Šarūnas Mačiulis – Traukinys
Aldegunda – I Want Your Love
JurgisDID & Erica Jennings – Sing!
Original Copy – Power of Sounds
Paola Hart – I’ll Be Alright
Antikvariniai Kašpirovskio Dantys – Mažulė
MaNNazz – Blind Bird
Jurijus – Run With The Lions
Soliaris & Foreign Souls – Song of My Life
Živilė Gedvilaitė – Learn From Your Love
Allen Chicco – Your Cure
Monika Marija – Criminal
The results were decided by a jury vote (which awarded points from 12 to 1 to their favourite ten performances) and then a live televote with the top 4 in the combined results then successfully making it through to the final! Give a listen to the first four finalists here:
Jurijus – Run With The Lions
Antikvariniai Kašpirovskio Dantys – Mažulė
Monika Marija – Criminal
JurgisDID & Erica Jennings – Sing!
We now have all eight songs in the final. They will be:
Monika Marija - "Light On"
Jurgis Brūzga - "CTRL ALT DELETE"
Justina Budaitė-Junà - "Strength of a Woman"
Henry & Tommy Modric - "Neverpart"
Jurijus – Run With The Lions
Antikvariniai Kašpirovskio Dantys – Mažulė
Monika Marija – Criminal
JurgisDID & Erica Jennings – Sing!
In a bizarre twist of fate Monika Marija had pleaded with fans two days ago not to vote for "Criminal". However, they have rejected that call, and the singer now has two songs in the final. The talented singer will also sing, "Light On" in next weeks final.
