Leave a comment

In the run-up to the Norwegian selection and the duet between Tor and Elisabeth a song contender as both have been at Eurovision for Norway, it is time to listen to some of their previous songs. The covers of the two CD’s are sort of greatest hits that came out around the years they represented Norway and I got both personally from the artists at Eurovision. Their duet gets my vote for Norway 2015.

After several weeks of selection shows Lithuania have finally decided on the winning combination to send to Vienna. They have chosen a duet between Monika Linkytė and Vaidas Baumila. Together they will sing the chosen song This Time.

The international and national jury and televoting decided tonight’s result. The three finalists performed songs that they chose themselves –

  • Mia – Dangerous
  • Monika Linkytė & Vaidas Baumila – Saulės Pėdomis
  • Mia – Take A Look At Me Now
  • Monika Linkytė & Vaidas Baumil – Tiktai Tu

The writer of This Time, as well as many fans, liked the idea of Monika and Vaidas performing as a duet.

Then Mia and Monika & Vaidas (as a duet) performed This Time.

The interval act included the Swiss Eurovision representative, Mélanie René, performing her song Time To Shine.

So it will be Monika Linkytė and Vaidas Baumila who will fly the Lithuanian flag in Austria with This Time.
