Lithuania’s marathon Eurovizijos atranka 2016 selection process continues to trundle along, with tonight’s show marking its sixth week. The episode saw the eight qualifiers from show four battle it out for five places in the next round. Once again, all eyes were on Donny Montell and Ruta Šciogolevaite.
Just as it was in the previous round, the Lithuanian jury couldn’t separate the pair. So as before, both of them received the maximum 12 points. After all the votes from the international juries and televoters were counted and verified, it was Ruta Šciogolevaite who came out on top of tonight’s show.

Donny very weak live prefomace no power .All song sounds like a background .
Aiste must win.Good song and strong vocal.
Ruta pro vocal but not sure about song.
EGLE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I’m telling y’all everybody loves a cliffhanger!!!
@Hector, answering your questions, every member of Lithuanian jury give their own points, then they just sum it up and tell the combined points. It just so happens that 2 people like Donny most and 2 like Ruta most,therefore there is a tie and the do not care enough to figure that out. About voting for “United”, the most believable reason seems to be Ruta’s popularity in Lithuania, that’s about it. She can sing,song is cheesy af but people just see that name and pick up their phones. Finally,talking about Valdas Lacko, I live in Lithuania all my life and… Read more »
My god! Could someone explain why the juries continue doing that “we can’t decide, they are both impressive”, come on, don’t be fake. Also, what Lithunians are thinking in while voting “United”? I just can’t hear that song nor Ruta, I don’t see what televoters or juries see in her, objectively it’s a crap… And finally , but not less important, How can Valdas Lacko stillcompeting with that song, is he famous or something in Lithuania? Valdas’ song is worse than all the others that have been eliminated previously. I’m so dissapointed now, hope it will change in the final… Read more »
There’s no need to worry. Most Lithuanians don’t see the point of voting in the early stages. Same happened last year and the year before – Mia seemed like a huge favorite but she lost by a lot of votes in the final.
I feel sorry for Egle and Petunija, their songs were decent. I can’t believe that Valdas’s song is still in the game. It makes me cringe, so does “United”. But the Lithuanian public seems to like these songs, so…
C’mon Lithunia, please choose Donny. It’s the only way you can get to the final.
Not enough people care to watch these endless shows. Everybody knows the best ones will make it to the finals, and there people will start voting. Last year Mia was crushing Vaidas and Monika in tellevote except for when it really matters. So, there is definitely a big chance that once the final comes Lithuanian people will get it together and vote for Donny.
Rutas song would be OK for the olympics in the ’80s ????. I guess televoters know jury will do the job in the semis so do not waste their money (voting is not free of charge as I understand). I’ like to see Donny or Erica wining, as I hate Aiste s style: too much of drama and screaming (I afraid she’s unable to sing). And the song itself is soooo yesterday… Petunia’s song was great, unfortunately performance too weak. The rest is just mediocre.
Catrinah should own this.
Egle </3
Donny came 4th with the televoters?
This is going to be a disaster. I don’t see any of the other acts making an impression in Stockholm, especially not Ruta.
People CALM down… Gosh the final is on 12th of march, and you think that Donny will show his Best on the elimination shows? Yeah right, i think that this is a Good descidion to Go simple, and then on the final to show his all 100% Best. So no worries
Disapointed about Petunija´s elimination and with Donny not being in 1st place instead of Ruta(She is AWFUL)
Lithuania is literally the worst national final ever.
If they don’t choose Donny I am going to scream.
I’m crossing my fingers that Lithuania change their minds as the weeks go by and vote for Donny as the ultimate winner, their only chance of making the Grand Final for sure in Stockholm. If only I could become the next Lithuanian “Christer Bjorkman”, the amount of changes that would be made would be endless…. 🙁
– Cutting down to just two/three quality semi-finals and a spectacular grand final!
– Better hosts and more internationally focused NF *cough Latvia & Sweden cough*
– More quality songs, both uptempo and ballad-like entries
Ben Rafter, show 9 is the semi-final.
Im lithuanian and am super pissed about the whole hype about ruta. Im hoping donny can wow us during the final and win. Im really worried about donny.
Aiste has become our only hope now.
Its settled: Ruta for Lithuania with ”A Million Voices” part.2
Nonononono.. donny or aiste pilvelyte must win!!!!!!!
It’s a shame that Petunija was eliminated :/
What?!?! He comes third in a semi or whatever it is (this show is plain stupid) and he’s the best?! I’m worried he might not win!!!!!
