The first participants travel to the next stage of Eurovision: among them Milita and Voldemars Petersons | Names

Summarizing the votes of the committee and the audience, it was clear that after the first selection of “Eurovision”, Voldemars Petersons, Milita Daikerytė, Titas and Benas, the group “Be U”, Martyna Jezepčikaitė will continue their journey in the competition.

Like last year, this year there is no lack of changes in the Eurovision selection; this time 21 groups and artists will compete in only 4 shows. Initially, they will test their strength in two qualifying shows, of which 5 participants will advance to the semi-finals.

Finally, in the third stage, the participants will compete for the final, and when they reach the final, for the ticket to Rotterdam. Unfortunately, the half of the participants who will get the lowest score from the audience and the commission will have to say goodbye.

In the first show, 10 bands and artists proved their strength: Black Spikes with Indre Launikonyte, Thomukas 1, Be U, Titas and Ben, Martyna Jezepčikaitė, Donata Virbilaitė, Twosome, Milita Daikerytė, Aldegunda, Voldemaras Petersonas. .

15 minutes invited his favorite artists to support not only on television screens, but also to express their opinions in the survey:

However, it must be admitted that after the broken hope of “The Roop”, this year’s “Eurovision” is a little different: the contestants will not receive shouts of support, each performance will take place without an audience. Audience support seems to be particularly important now.

This year, all selective “Let’s Try Again!” They are featured by longtime television faces: Ieva Stasiulevičiūtė, Vytautas Rumšas Jr. and Vaidas Baumila.

The first moments of the filming of the Eurovision national team are in the gallery:

The performances of the participants will be evaluated by 5 changing members of the commission for each show. At the first show, participants received feedback from LRT’s popular music editor-in-chief Ramūnas Zilnis, composer, arranger, trombonist, co-author of many musical projects Jievaras Jasinskis, composer, composer Vytautas Bikaus, performer, composer Ieva Narkutė, and singer Ailevi.

The groups were the first to enter the fight and opened the selection for Eurovision “Black peaks” member with artist Indre Launikonyte. The girls who demonstrated a rocky image performed “Do not tell me” a song that was not without the sounds of rock music. It can be noted that the work of the girls is somewhat reminiscent of the performance of the Finnish group “Lordi”.

The second took the stage “Wish” performer Thomukas 1. Only this time the interpreter appeared not in an impressive costume, but in simplicity. However, we wouldn’t really call the performance itself that way – the artist was standing up and eventually laying down.

The third Eurovision performance started with eyes closed, so did the groups. “BE U” the interpreter started the piece “Love yourself”. The show could have captivated everyone, as the girl and the instruments created a sensual atmosphere.

After the performances, the members of the commission discussed the first three works. A wide variety of opinions were heard, and the girls’ first rock band surprised more than one.

“It just came to our knowledge then. I didn’t expect the selection to start with such a number,” said A. Smilgevičiūtė of the first performance.

“It just came to our attention then. I waited for zinc, a surprise. But there will probably always be fans of this genre. That aggression, black nails. I would be afraid to meet these girls in the corridors of LRT. And after them, Thomuk 1 looks like Thomuk 1.

And the third show seemed like the young people were enjoying what they were doing on stage. It sounded cool, refreshing. It sounded like a bridge. It was fun listening to it. What freedom. It masks inaccuracies “, – I.Narkutė spoke about” BE U “.

The fourth seemed to have participated in Factor X. Titus and Benwho presented the work to the audience “No”. From the first seconds, the performers were able to impress the audience with the sounds of lyrical music, and the playing of the piano in the background created an exclusive atmosphere on stage.

More magic on the scene has created Martyna Jozepčikaitėwho entered in a costume decorated with butterflies from Agnė Kuzmickaitė. Not only that, the girl’s piece “Thanks a lot” Created by authors from Denmark and Sweden. So this time it was not possible to listen to lyrical songs, but rather funny sounds of pop music.

The sixth piece of red lipstick and classic suit appeared on the “Eurovision” stage “My way of being” accomplished Donata Virbilaitė. The classic was not only the image of a woman, but also a piece: the slow rhythm and the supportive artists showed the strong side of the song.

Getting on stage “Couple” the artists said they didn’t want a gloomy mood so with the song “I love my bear” a real party started. They were joined by a bear with a unicorn, showing the audience special dance steps.

After several more performances, Martyna and Donata Virbilaitė received the greatest sympathy from the commission. However, the guys from Twosome got a few different comments – part of the commission just didn’t get their humor.

“Not wanting to offend his fans or his own. Twosome reminds me of a guy who lives abroad, has family dances and tells the same jokes when he arrives. If the first year laughs, the third and fourth are usually polite.

I’m for humor, but I wish things were tastier. That appendix is ​​basically good, but they can be fixed. Humor is subjective, but I think they not only do it for themselves, but there are people who love their creations. Beautiful young faces, but maybe they can squeeze the smile of others, “commented V. Bikus.

Finally, Martyn herself was compared to a famous foreign performer by a member of the commission, and the play really impressed: “That silhouette is like Ariana Grande. Okay. This is already a good start. It’s hard to say how many years Martynai was, but apparently the excitement in the appendix changed her leg a bit. She sings well everywhere. “

J. Jasinskis spoke the same about the girl’s performance, but slightly different comments flew to Twosome.

“It was applied clearly enough to the Eurovision Song Contest. Other than the adjective, it was all good for me. The appendix reminded me a bit of that style. Donata refreshed that three-part beat really well for me. As far as I can. remember, all the voices were good in this song. Sometimes I want to praise. And it is difficult to comment on the comedy “Twosome”, – J.Jasinskis.

Following the commission’s evaluations, she recently began her performance when she returned to the stage. Milita Daikerytė with the work “Darkness”. And the girl did not beg, she demonstrated impressive vocal skills.

The ninth turned out to be sincere Aldegunda, telling not only about his childhood, but also about work. So the girl who soon appeared on stage sang a song “Sit down”. It’s true, although the name is English, the song itself is Lithuanian.

The latter appeared in several selections before Voldemars Petersons, who did the work “Never fall in love again”. An easy-sounding song and a memorable snap impressed many committee members.

“It just came to our attention then. Maybe just like that. I liked it a lot, but we all know that suffix and that’s enough. What a small impression”, – J.Jasinskis expressed his opinion

Aistė Smilgevičiūtė also gave good words to Voldemar’s work. The woman was fascinated not only by him, but also by the interpretation of Milita’s song.

“It just came to our knowledge then. I thought it would be a ballad, but I had fun listening and singing. And I called Milita a true” Eurovision diva. “She was so vibrant, alone on stage she stood up to it all. It was fun to watch. He sang perfectly, “commented A. Smilgevičiūtė.
