The first of many, many, many shows finished last night in Lithuania, leaving us with six qualifiers out of twelve songs that will go into the semi-final stage, where an international jury will be added along with the original Lithuanian jury and televote!

The qualifiers in order of placement (which got the most points) were:

Edgaras Lubys - Could It Be? (12 from Jury, 10 from televote - 22 points)
Sasha Song - Never Felt Like This Before (10 from Jury, 8 from televote - 18 points)
Paula - Never Let You Go (5 from Jury, 12 from televote - 17 points)
Golden Monkeys - Septyni dievai (7 from Jury, 7 from televote - 14 points)
Otreya - Last Two Weeks (6 from Jury, 6 from televote - 12 points)
Benas Malauskas - Rolling (8 from Jury, 4 from televote - 12 points)

Some notes:
Paula SMASHED the televote with the massive number of 821 votes (to Edgaras and his piddly 505.)
Sasha has possibly the biggest hat I've seen in my life and a very awkward dance break.
Edgaras winning the first heat and jury score is a bit of a laugh.
I thought this was better than most of the qualifiers and it came 11th of 12.


Out of these songs, Paula is my favourite. What do you think of these songs?

The second heat has finished and six more acts have qualified, as shown below.

Mia - Sacrifice (12 from Jury, 10 from televote - 22 points)
Kotryna Juodzevičiūtė - Love Shadow (7 from Jury, 12 from televote - 19 points)
Gabrielius Vagelis - Feel Myself Free (8 from Jury, 7 from televote - 15 points)
Valdas Lacko - It's So Unfair (6 from Jury, 8 from televote - 14 points)
Ieva Zasimauskaitė -You Saved Me (10 from Jury, 3 from televote - 13 points)
E.G.O. - My Story (5 from Jury, 6 from televote - 11 points)

Note:
Kotryna only won the televote by 25 votes.

I think Mia was the correct winner of this heat but still, there's nothing here that I can say I'd like to listen to again.

The third of our heats is complete, with some - uh, interesting results? Six acts through, and you can listen below.

Greta Zazza - Like I Love You (12 from Jury, 10 from televote - 22 points)
Lolita Zero - Get Frighten (8 from Jury, 12 from televote - 20 points)
Vidas Bareikis & Ieva Zasimauskaitė - I Love My Phone (7 from Jury, 8 from televote - 15 points)
Fusedmarc - Rain of Revolution (10 from Jury, 5 from televote - 15 points)
Gražvydas - Paint the Sky Blue (6 from Jury, 7 from televote - 13 points)
Milda Martinkėnaitė & Saulenė Chlevickaitė - Paperheart (5 from Jury, 6 from televote - 11 points)

Notes:
Another close televote - Gytis garnered 699, with Greta getting 648 - not too far behind was Vidas and Ieva with 619.
Gytis is a drag queen, from what I can garner. The song is... well, it's experimental and very bizarre. I can't help but hum along even though I know it's bad. (Nothing's obvious x100 ')
This was quite a weak group of songs so it's no surprise Greta came out on top, albeit her vocals could use some work. (I Love My Phone, really?)

winner:
