After Gytis Ivanauskas smashed his way to the top of last week’s show with watermelons and drag, Lithuania’s Eurovizijos atranka 2017 continued with the remaining 12 qualifiers from the first four heats. Tonight’s lineup included 2009 Eurovision representative Sasha Song and the three heat winners of Mia, Greta Zazza and Aiste Pilvelyte.
Aiste Pilvelyte went on to win tonight’s show and another seven acts reached the next stage of the competition: Greta Zazza, Kotryna Juodzeviciute, Queens of Roses, Sasha Song, Mia, Valerija Iljinaite and Alanas Chošnau.
Sadly, we had to say goodbye to Vidas Bareikis & Ieva Zasimauskaite, Neringa Šiaudikyte, Evaldas Vaikasas and Golden Monkeys. Eurovision is a cruel sport, but now they can rest up for next year’s outing.
Ahead of tonight’s show, the Wiwi Jury — our in-house panel of music unprofessionals — had plenty to say about Aiste. With Aminata Savadogo behind her song, “I’m Like A Wolf”, it’s looking like a winning combination. Wiwiblogger Antranig said:
While I don’t think this would win Eurovision, it should have little difficulty keeping Lithuania in the Top 10. The Aminata influence is obvious but Aiste is allowed to show off her powerful vocals and she’s a cut above the competition. This wolf has got teeth and she’s coming for blood.
Aiste took top votes from both the jury and televote this week. Is she well on her way to overall victory in the selection?

only AISTE!!!
Gretaaaa
@BifEuroFan I agree with you. I just hope more people will vote for Greta in the final.
I would be disappointed if Aiste or Lolita represented us. There are better participants than them, but it seems that the jury won’t let them win.
Smells like Lithuania will stay in the semi ifnal this year. For me only one choice is Greta. Lithuanians schould wake up ASAP.
They can’t seriously be having this song with that annoying sound in the chorus as their top favourite, can they?! Greta’s song is by far the best out of them all.
I’ll never understand the appeal of “I’m like a Wolf”
kotryna killed it
she’s not my first place but that performance was amazing
Glad Aiste won but where are Golden Monkeys and Neringa? 🙁
Also, why did Mia do so poorly compared to the previous time?
Still not liking this song. Aminata should’ve given it to another singer, Aiste is a waste.
Yesss, Aiste is my fav of all in the Lithuanian selectionnn
Talent WON! Aiste truly deserves to represent Lithuania, she has the perfect song for it. Surprised that Mia flopped so hard, and that Greta was 3rd and not 2nd! But either way, there’s only one winner.
