Morten Thomassen looks today at whether LITHUANIA will STAY in the semi final or advance to the final. ESC Covers google translated it from Norwegian to English.

Last year, our Lithuanian friends presented someone called Monika and it went so well, obviously, that they might as well send a “new” Monika this year.

Her name is Monika Linkyte and she will, among other things, try to improve on the 18th place she got in 2015, then together with Vaidas Baumila.

Now she is performing alone and she sings the song “Stay” and that immediately raises the question of whether she remains in semi-final 2 or whether she also gets to be on the final bus which departs two days later.

She tries her hand with a toned-down ballad which fortunately picks up vocally and turns into a kind of power ballad with a bit of a gospel feel to it.

Madam Linkyte will probably have for the attempt, but I’m probably a little afraid that this has a little too much potential to be perceived as a little too bland by many.

If that happens, it could probably mean that she will be one of those left in the green room when the artists who have qualified for the final cheer on stage after the last semi-final of the year is over.
