It’s taken several weeks, but Lithuania has finally reached the end of its marathon national selection. The final was held between three singers—Mia, Vilija Mataciunaite and Vaidas Baumila. When the points from the international and Lithuanian juries were combined with televotes from the Lithuanian public, Vilija Mataciunaite emerged as the winner who will represent Lithuania in the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest. The song, “Attention”, was already chosen last weekend.
Lithuania will fight for the place in the grand final in the first semifinal on 8th May.

This is so bad… annoying song, bad performance, and she’s a bad singer… sorry :/
It’s easy to understand why people are so divided — it depends on what you notice and focus on.
I can imagine this becoming hugely popular with sharper production, or becoming a disorienting shambles. Lithuania is easily capable of making this work.
They should tone it down and make it a bit trip-hoppy.
Bad song, bad singer :/
Sorry, Lithuania.
This is what happens when you try to mingle a jazz singer with some piece of electronic piece of rubbish … a very disturbing average towards bad piece of something called song … And it’s a shame that in 20 years Lithuania never made part of my list of favourites … no different this year.
You know she had angina during this performance?
Very bad song!
But Vilija was the one who wrote this song!
I don’t even get this entire contest. First they choose a song and then the artist for it? That just really doesn’t sound right. Every artist should bring their own song that they worked on and formed themselves. I dislike it when a songs has like 5 writers and producers. It’s not even the artist’s intellectual property, yet the artist takes most of the fame and glory.
As for Attention and this woman, it’s kind of boring and it does get annoying after a while. Nothing for Lithuania this time.
I just can’t like this. The song has no structure and the “ATTENTION” really gets on my nerves after a while. I think this’ll need an overhaul to stand a chance of doing well.
To me only: Hungary and Poland. Maybe Romania.

She’s a good singer, but she looks a little bit discomfort when singing this. I feel like the song just didn’t quite match with her vocal style.. But, the song has a catchy part when she emphasized the word “attention” in it.
Now it’s Hungary, Estonia, and Lithuania with the same kind of songs…
She should do a music video!!
I love how some of the comments say it’s going to win while others sat worst song ever.
Found it interesting that the song Attention is written by the same person who won 😉 Hmmmm planned out? lol
For me it’s simply amazing! Go Lithuania. Very modern, catchy, better than most of the choices this year 😉
If you’re going to write and perform a song like that… at least be able to hit the notes in the most important part consistently! The “Attention!” part sounded out of her range. Apart from that, her vocals were alright. But this song has some strange lyrics, and she was really relying on her stage presence to generate excitement.
I haven’t said this about any other songs yet, but I have a hard time seeing this one in the Eurovision final. Maybe nearby countries will vote for it…
Vilnius 2015 my ass. Sorry Lithuania, but there was alot better songs than Attention, and even Mia was better than Vilija… better luck next time 😐
Hard to believe Vilija was involved in the writing when she has that much trouble singing it.
The composition has some good aspects so I’m not writing it off just yet, but the performance (at least) needs a complete overhaul.
I don’t think this selection process is going to work out.
She is a poor singer .. And that bit ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION at the start is awful …
Might qualify considering Lithuania has somehow qualified for the last 3 years …
It’s meh. Right-hand side of the final leaderboard.
Veeeeeery surprised Vaidas did so poorly. Thought he would have been up there.
F’ anyone who says Vilija sucks!
“Vilnius 2015” LOL
Lithuania gets many points from juries in semifinal in past years, thant to that point they go to final in 2011,12,13 and maybe in 2014.

YAAAAAAAAAAY!!! Vilija is amazing! Haters = not welcome in Vilnius 2015.
Compared to some other songs, this is going to be laughable. I’m sorry but Lithuania will not be doing good. They may qualify as they managed to last year but definitely not anywhere near top 10.
This is going to top 15 at the very least! 🙂
