In a dazzling showcase, the final of Eurovizija.LT pre-selection event unfolded with all the drama and excitement expected from Lithuania’s National final.
First up was Aiste, whose infectious energy and catchy tune drew comparisons to Olivia Newton-John’s iconic hit “Physical,” channeling a hint of the legendary Dazzler from the X-Men.
Next was Zalvarinus, whose lively folk rock anthem electrified the audience despite the challenging #2 slot. Pluie de Comètes took the stage next, offering a mesmerizing performance that fell just short of usual Eurovision standards.
Sylvester Belt and Luktelk commanded attention with their pulsating electronic pop, leaving the audience in awe. However, a brief livestream failure momentarily halted the proceedings, adding an unexpected twist to the evening.
VB Gang burst onto the scene with a visually striking appearance, but their song “KABOOM” failed to ignite the excitement as the name suggests, earning it the dubious title of an “absolute disaster bop.” Meanwhile, Il Senso delivered a pleasant melody and strong vocals, albeit lacking the Eurovision wow factor.
Shower’s performance of “Impossible” left viewers questioning its potential to secure victory, while Monika Marija captivated hearts with her poignant country pop ballad, showcasing both simplicity and emotional depth.
The crowd erupted into applause as Queen of Roses channeled Serbia’s 2022 entry, “Loco Loco,” setting the stage for a heated superfinal showdown. Finally, The Roop closed the first round with a deceptively simple performance that left some questioning its Eurovision potential.
As the dust settled, acts 4, 7, and 10 advanced to the superfinal, with Monika Linkyte taking the stage to perform ‘Stay’ while the second round of voting commenced.
With tensions running high, only time would tell which act would emerge victorious and earn the coveted ticket to Eurovision. In the end, the winner was Silvester Belt with Luktelk.
