Twenty-four acts will qualify from the heats of Eurovizijos dainu konkurso nacionaline atranka, the Lithuanian national selection for Eurovision 2017. But at the end of the marathon national selection process, only one can grab the golden ticket to Kyiv. To help you make an informed decision on who to pay attention to, the Wiwi Jury – our in-house panel of music unprofessionals – will review and rank each of this year’s qualifying acts. We’re ready to pick our favourite for Lithuania!
Our jury for this edition consists of 12 jurors who come from Australia, Bulgaria, Malta, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Russia, Spain and the United Kingdom. Each juror assesses each song independently, and awards each song a score from 0 to 10. Before calculating the Wiwi Jury verdict, we drop the highest and lowest scores to reduce potential bias and outliers.
We’ll be unrolling these one by one over the coming week. You can read the completed reviews by clicking on the song title.

* Ties are broken by preferential vote.
Still upset that Vilija didn’t get through because ‘I see Lights’ is a great modern entry that deserved to qualify from its weak heat. :/
The average rating of Edgaras Lubys should be 3.1, there’s a mistake in counting.
Otryea’s song title is “Last two weeks”, not “Two weeks” and the word “Last” doesn’t belong to her surname !
