Lithuania kicked off its national selection for Eurovision with the First Semi-Final of Eurovizija.LT, held yesterday at the LRT studios in Vilnius. Nine entries competed for just two spots in the final, with the decision made through a combination of votes from a professional jury of five members and the public televote.

The clear winner of the evening was Anyanya, who topped both the jury and televote rankings, securing first place with a total of 24 points.

Joining him in the final is Justė Baradulinaitė, who finished in second place. She received 10 points each from the jury and the televote, accumulating a total of 20 points.

Both acts will return to compete in the grand final on February 15, where a total of 10 finalists will battle for the honor of representing Lithuania in Basel

However, the night wasn’t without drama. Fan-favorite Rūta Budreckaitė fell short of expectations, finishing in fifth place with just 4 points from the jury and 8 points from the televote—far from enough to secure a spot in the final. Her elimination left many fans disappointed.

The competition continues on January 18 with the Second Semi-Final, where another nine acts will compete for the remaining two spots in the final. Among them is Vilija Matačiūnaitė, who represented Lithuania at Eurovision in 2014. Excitement is building as the nation’s search for its Eurovision representative heats up!
