After one introduction show, five elimination shows resulting in eight acts crashing out and one illness shattering the hopes of one unlucky hopeful, we’re finally nearing the finishing line of Lithuania’s national selection marathon Eurovizijos atranka 2015, starting with tonight’s first of two national finals.
Just like the acts, 12 songs started their Eurovizijos journey way back when. Several weeks and nine eliminations later, only three songs remain in contention, “Dangerous (S.O.S.)”, “The Right Way” and “This Time”. All three artists performed their own versions of the three songs.
As usual, the Lithuanian jury panel assesed each song, but not the artists themselves. They were then combined with the points of the international jury and televotes. And we can now confirm that “This Time” will be performed in Vienna this year. “The Right Way” finished in second place and “Dangerous” came third.

Although the three finalists themselves weren’t assessed tonight, it seems that everyone agreed that Vaidas’ version of “This Time” was the best. Our readers also agree in our poll. And no, you’re not seeing things. LRT have accidentally put Edgaras Lubys in place of Mia at third. Oops.
Next week’s national final is the big one, as the three finalists will be compete against each other in a winner-takes-all showdown to see who will represent Lithuania with “This Time” in Vienna this year.
Who do you want to sing “This Time” in Vienna?

To the guy named D This Time, Right Way and finally Not Perfect. Stop crying and spilling your emotions about Dangerous. No one voted for it. If People support MIA, and as you say she proved that “Dangerous” was a good song, why didn’t anyone vote for it? You’re being really unprofessionally bias. an. I’m getting a weird sense you might be one of the producers of “Dangerous” – which is an OK song, it wasnt ranking in the voting poll, no one wanted to sing it, how did it get to the final three no one knows. It should’ve… Read more »
By the way, wiwibloggs – andrius pojavis has a new single, “Summertime Lights,” and it’s pretty cool.
@Paul: LOL. I would love to have seen Uzari and Maimuna sing Accent. That would’ve been funny.
Good song.
Can’t imagine the same system of selection in Belarus. For example, the song-winner is Rybak’s “Accent” and Uzari & Maimuna, Gunesh etc. must sing this song for Eurovision )))))) Incredibly !!! )))
Mia is so stunningly beautiful, yet the songs that she has been given to sing are not. A more typical format with the song married to the singer would have been more in her favor. I fear that this will be her last chance next week and that she will not be seen or heard from internationally again.
Really like This time. However, This time The right way and Not perfect should have been in final
I definitely think Mia’s performance was the best for “Dangerous,” but I’m not a fan of singing one verse, then the chorus, then going back to the one verse. It feels like only half a song. I fell in love with “This Time” right away, though it was the demo posted at eurovision.tv. I think a duet would be lovely; the final presentation was the best from the whole show.
YES!!!! Now they’ve just got to send Vaidas!
Vadais AND Monika, what else ?
We are really happy that “This Time” is the winner song! It has huge potential especially if Vaidas & Monika will sing together. We believe that this year we have great chances with this song and these artists.
This time with Vaidas very good!
Some wrote Vaidas and Monika sung Dangerous bad on purpose for This time. I think it´s not therfor. I think cause the song too bad. Should not been in final if they not poll for it at internet the whole nights! It is what I think!
I actually prefer Vaidas alone, but I can accept a duet. As long as Vaidas goes, I am happy. Maybe it will even my new first then.
If they only send one singer, then it should be Vaidas. But I prefer the duet with him and Monika, but I don’t see how they will be able to send that since the three singers are competing againdt each other.
Duet please. 🙂
OF COURSE VALDAS BUT A DUET WITH MONIKA WILL BE STUPENDO
OF VOURDE VALDAS BUT A DUET WITH MONIKA WILL BE STUPENDO
There it is! What a great selection for Lithuania.
@Dan they showed last weeks jury wotes not next week, Why do i say this? hmm because the third person vas not mia but Edgaras Lubys…
Now all we need is Vaidas and Monika to become dual winners and sing it as a duet
Vaidas and Monika sung the songs “Dangerous” really bad on purpose so their song “This Time” would qualify. The show is really corrupt and i don’t even know what to say when on one point of the show (the ending of the show) they accidentally showed the results of the next show – The finals of Eurovizijos. The results were: 1.Vaidas 2. Monika 3.Mia In my opinion “Dangerous” should’ve been the choice for Lithuania couse Mia was incredible!!! She showed with her band and totally swept the nation with the performance! They could’ve been in the top 10 with Mia… Read more »
YES! Thanks god The right way didn’t win. After Not perfect, This time was my favourite song. Happy with the result! 😀
SO HAPPY with this! it’s gotta be Vaidas seriously, if one of the two girls will go to Vienna with this they won’t get in the finals.
