The announcement of The Roop’s victory on social media was accompanied not only by congratulations, happy wishes to the representatives of “Eurovision”, but also by witty comments about the zipper of V. Valiukevičius’s pants, which was uncovered during first performance. “The song” Zipper “won, – joked Internet users.
Meanwhile, the interpreter himself later went to the LRT conference and laughed at her. Speaking about what the band promises to change in preparation for the performance on the big stage, V. Valiukevičius said: “We will remain the yellow team. Well, maybe we can fix the zippers or something. “

Before the show, even the leader of the band was asked to share the coolest emotions. At first, Valiukevičius didn’t find it easy to collect words, jokingly, “Is it really necessary? I wasn’t ready, I didn’t see the script. ”But then, without hiding his triumphant emotion, he thanked his native for his support.
“It just came to our notice then. I just want to thank everyone who voted a lot, both the commission and the audience. Viewers, wow, they’re amazing. At first I thought when I saw the results that they voted 7400. But I heard someone say : “No, no, 74 thousand”. This is something incredible, I have very few words, I am not ready to speak. But our group is extremely grateful. We will definitely continue to carry the Lithuanian flag, “said V. Valiukevičius.
Last year, the Roop, who lost the opportunity to appear on the world’s most popular show due to the coronavirus pandemic, managed to become famous not only in his homeland, but also throughout Europe. Well, since this group got a lot of attention and significantly surpassed second place in last year’s online voting according to the rules of the Eurovision Song Contest, the discussion started, maybe stop thinking and send them to the show? postponed until 2021? This would measure the group’s performance, financial costs, and other efforts. However, after all the discussions, The Roop received only one benefit: they made it to the final of the selection immediately, so they did not have to appear in the selections with other “Try Again” contestants.
Although The Roop did not appear on either the first or the second release, the band’s Eurovision song and video, Discoteque, were featured on the second broadcast. This piece caused a real storm on the Internet as early as the morning of the day, when it had been illegally distributed ahead of time. Even before reaching the semi-finals, The Roop is boldly called out as the strongest candidates to win a Eurovision ticket. Music commentators across Europe are also predicting success for them.
The Roop, who appeared on the selection for the first time this year, also performed dance on Saturday, so they still had a hard time breathing off stage. Group leader Vaidotas Valiukevičius invited people to vote not only on their thoughts for the performances they liked.
“This has happened more than once in the history of Lithuania, both in politics and everywhere. I invite you to support your favorite participants with calls,” Vaidotas said.
When asked what comments he received from the public in preparation for the final, V. Valiukevičius was satisfied with the interest.
“A lot of people got involved in our program, they advised to do it in one way or another. But the most important thing is to understand what we want ourselves. That is what we lead, ”said the group leader.
The Commission unanimously rated The Roop as the strongest in this year’s selection.
“It is very pleasing to both the eye and the ear. It is good to see such an elegant and conceptually accomplished performance,” commented I. Narkutė.
“This song seems to me the most valuable trip to Rotterdam,” Zilnys said.
“This show has it all: great idea, song, dance and energy, so even the TV screen doesn’t interfere,” commented G. Griniūtė.
The members of The Roop say they wrote a song full of nostalgic sound, thinking about dance and inner liberation. These two elements perfectly describe all the group’s works: their unique sound and style. The song was released by Warner Music Group, one of the largest record companies in the world, with a division in the Baltic countries.
