Very interesting choice for Lithuania – their entry for the 2017 Second chance contest

What seems like forever – spanning over 9 weeks, 8 heats and 51 songs, we have reached the point tonight where Lithuania will choose their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Kyiv.
Gytis Ivanauskas, performing under the name Lolita Zero, after originally being eliminated from the heat was brought back through a wild card vote.
The winner will be selected through a combination of tele-voting, a Lithuanian jury and an International jury.
ESC Covers originally supported Sascha Son but he fell out and now we have to choose a new act to support.This is difficult as none of the 7 grabbed out attention but we like to title “Feel myself free” and so that is what we will go with.
Greta Zazza is currently having success at the 2017 Eurovizijos dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka national selection in Lithuania. Here she talks to ESC Covers –
1. Hello Greta. Many congratulations on your success so far in the 2017 Eurovizijos dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka. Could you tell us something about your song ‘Like I Love You’ and what it is about and who composed the song?
Thank you so much. There’s still one more step left until the final but now it’s closer than ever. ‘Like I Love You’ is written by a Swedish composer Jonas Thander, who also wrote the Donny Montell song ‘I’ve Been Waiting For This Night’ for the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest for Lithuania. It’s a great modern, catchy song. It’s about that feeling that we probably all have experienced when you really start to fall for someone but you’re very unsure and you’re afraid to say it. Although you find the strength to shout it out loud and that makes you a winner.
2. Is this your first attempt at competing at Eurovision?
Yes! Pretty good first try hah? 🙂
3. ‘Like I Love You’ is a song that I can imagine on the radio and the dancefloors of Europe. Is this the style of music you normally perform?
I’m in the process of finding my own style but it’s definitely the type of music that I listen to and enjoy performing.
4. Have you participated in any music festivals or competitions in Lithuania or abroad? If so, can you tell us about them.
I’m pretty new to the popular music scene so Eurovision preselection is the biggest thing so far. But hey, this is just a beginning 🙂
5. Have you released any other songs? If so can you tell us about your music?
A couple of years ago I started to release my music. A couple of my songs were successful on the radio. But as I mentioned earlier I’m in a process of finding my sound. Living in Stockholm really helps.
6. Will there be a music video for ‘Like I Love You’?
There might be. Time will show 🙂
7. Do you have any plans to release an album this year?
Right now I put all my energy on ‘Like I love You’ and Eurovision. After the contest it will be easier to make plans. I sure hope so.
8. What are your favourite Eurovision songs from the past?
Definitely Loreen with her incredible ‘Euphoria’.
9. Do you have a website or a page on social media where our readers can learn more about you?
I would like to gladly invite people to like my Greta Zazza’s FB page and my Instagram account @gretazazza where I try to update people with fun stuff that I do.
Thank you very much Greta. We wish you lots of luck in the finals of Eurovizijos dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka
