Show #3: Artists who took part
Tonight we have heard ten amazing Lithuanian artists, performing some of the greatest Eurovision songs of all in the following order.
Five finalists from tonight’s TV show were chosen like those from the previous one - through televoting and jury votes. However, LRT’s jury had a bit different cast tonight: Edmundas Seilius, Adrija Čepaitė, Vytenis Pauliukaitis and Ramūnas Zilnys, were in the studio. The International jury, whose members were introduced to Lithuanian audience, during the broadcast from last Saturday, Brandon Stone (Germany), Valerij Prosvirov (Russia) and Liselott Bjork (Sweden) took part again, sharing their votes too.
In this year’s concept for the national selection, LRT wanted to bring more Eurovision euphoria to the audience in Lithuania, that’s why three million viewers in this Baltic state, can enjoy ten TV shows and many great Eurovision songs being performed in a bit different versions.
All the shows have a webcast, so even if you are living outside of Lithuania, you can still follow LRT’s Eurovision marathon on the Internet.
