As it happened last week, in Lithuania the performances had already been judged by the jury. This is the line-up of the show with the points awarded by the jury:
Jurijus Veklenko - Tu Ne Viena 34 points
Sati - Light Is The One 32 points
Katažina - Euforija 34 points
Diana Jasilionytė - Dear Someone 36 points
Vytautas Matuzas - Take It Back 40 points
Martynas Beinaris - Bella Donna 26 points
Laura J and Stiga - Fading In The Mist 23 points
Sweetsalt - My Love 30 points
Alive Way - Amazed By You 41 points
Tonight when the show was aired on LRT, the televote had similar results, and combined with the jury, it produced the following three finalists (in bold):
Vytautas Matuzas 22 points
Alive Way 20 points
Katažina 17 points
Diana Jasilionyte 15 points
Jurijus Veklenka 12 points
Sati 10 points
Martynas Beinaris 10 points
Sweetsalt 8 points
Laura J & Stiga 5 points
The finalists are rap-styled physically challenged singer Vytautas Matuzas, the young rock band Alive Way and Katažina with her dramatic song Euforija. The jury picked Amazed By You for being "a well-composed rock ballad". The audience went for Vytautas Matuzas, the rap-singer moving in a wheelchair. His song Take It Back was written by Linas Adomaitis, who was Lithuania's representative in 2004 in Istambul and who came second last year in the national selection.
Next Saturday 18th of February the third semifinal takes place, and the six acts that didn't qualify tonight still have a chance to be saved for a place in the Final on the 3rd of March.
