Raul: Okay, Lithuania, I get that you want to experiment with every genre out there — but seriously, what is this? Let’s take a moment to remember what you’ve sent before: Luktelk, Sentimentai, Discoteque… and now this? You’re probably going to hate me for this, but please — stay in the semifinal. What even is this? Is it actually a song? What’s it about? Sorry, I can’t give you more than a 5.
Grade: 4/10

Reza: This is my least favorite entry of the year. I honestly can’t sit through the full three minutes, it’s just too repetitive for me. The depressing, apocalyptic vibe and melody are definitely not my cup of tea. I know a lot of eurofans seem to enjoy it and consider it a likely qualifier, but I really have my doubts.
Grade: 2/10

Laurentiu: Lithuania delivers something darker and more introspective with “Tavo Akys” (“Your Eyes”). Katarsis channels a deep emotional current through brooding rock instrumentation and expressive vocals. It’s moody without being overly theatrical, but for me it s a sure nonqualifier. See you next year, Lithuania!
Grade: 4/10

Stefania: This performance feels like someone broke up with their shadow and wrote a song about it in a haunted IKEA. The lead singer kept whispering “Tavo” like it was a spell to summon their ex or maybe just a lost contact lens. It’s not a song, it’s a whole mood… specifically the one you get at 3AM when you realize your houseplants are doing better emotionally than you.
Grade: 5/10

Florin: I know many people love this song, buuuut I can’t really see the reason. When I listen to it, feels like the whole three minutes ther3 is just the singer saying Tavo for three minutes straight on stage.
Grade: 5/10

Antonio: I enjoy alternative music myself but I cannot say something that catched my ears during Katarsis’ performance. It could either be the dark horse of this year or just end up not qualifying 🙁
