Fan favourite and perennial contender Erica Jennings withdrew from Lithuania’s Eurovizijos atranka 2018 earlier this month, citing the “cringeworthy” judging panel, which includes people with less Eurovision experience than her.
But producers at LRT know that the show must go on and have now revealed all of the acts participating in the national selection. There are a total of 47 entries this year, but seven have already been eliminated.

Who is your favourite so far? Who are you most excited to see?
Greta Zazza, she was the best last year! Hope she will got to Lisbon.
I, as the actual Nancy Aura they speak of, can confirm that this entrance is fake. Someone was messing with the Wikipedia at the time and no one noticed to remove it. I suspect it was someone from Berlin, CT (yes, an American troll!) as the Wiki editor’s ‘username’ by IP said so.
Whoever got excited over this act, I’m sorry to say that it’s 100% a Wiki hoax. And I’m sad to see the article writer got to put it through without questioning its inclusion’s realness.
“My Memories”.
Needs a big revamp tho.
Many ballads so far in the Lithuanian selection.
I have to say I’ve listened to “Broken Shadows” when the audio came out but now that I’ve heard it again, I like it more. It’s a pretty good song with potential.
I also like “Turn it up”, becuase it’s up-beat and it would fit well on the Eurovision stage. “When we’re old” seems simple to me, but the performance was really beautiful. I can’t say I like the song but I like the presentation.
For the Lithuanian selection, I don’t have any doubt, my vote is for Benas and “My memories”, impressive performance! *-*
I’m really looking forward Gabrielus Vagelis’s entry. “Feel Myself Free” was my winner last year. The lyrics were a bit touching and his voice is so special… Hope he brings something even better.
Twosome – “Hello” was very interesting! In their song they are saying “Hello” in 35 different languages. Have someone heard ‘Hello” in his language? 🙂
One more:
Rasa Kausiute – “The Silence” = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdm6NHSxl7U
I like Valdas’ one. Reminds me of Sonata Artica a bit
Benas, Greta, Juozas Martin, Godo, Ieva, Germante and Elizabeth Olshey are the ones i like at the moment.
Rasa Kausiute’s song is stunning. Not necessarily a winner but beautiful nonetheless
According to Wikipedia, “So long My Love, My Lover” is written by Aminata Savadogo.
Godo is something very cool
Godo is my favorite <3
I’m so happy to see that Rugile is returning! She is such a kind, loving and generous person. I can’t wait to hear her song, it has a beautiful title. Also super curious if it’ll be similar to her song last year, which I think was absolutely amazing.
Greta Zazza to Lisbon! ?
> Kotryna Juodzevici?te
Wiwibloggs encoding problems strike even articles!
Kinda embarassing that website dedicated ostensibly to the international music cannot display any character outside of ISO 8859-1 correctly…
