Tell that to Turkey, India, Israel and Romania that have to wait years to land points from Lithuania and they all did it in the same contest...

Now it's time for the twelve points, I would be surprised if anybody guessed wrong

LITHUANIA "LIETUVA" "LITVA" *Sveiki visi, malonu jus matyti vėl šitame konkurse* *Hello everyone, nice to see you in the contest once again, this one is going to be a wild ride. Here's the votes from the Lithuanian jury* 3rd INDONESIA 10 4th SLOVENIA 9 5th CZECH REPUBLIC 8 6th TURKEY 7 7th BRAZIL 6 8th UNITED STATES 5 9th INDIA 4 10th ISRAEL 3 11th GREAT BRITAIN 2 12th ROMANIA 1

Get ready for the most random ass Lithuanian votes that you'll probably ever be a witness of

I might be in the minority, but I would love for them to try and steamroll at least once, especially since some others were never holding back at all The UK are really holding back as well, when they have some iconic acts under their belt. Yes, they tried with Ed Sheeran, but probably in the worst Ed Sheeran music era The first three albums were the way to go

Of course it would be Ireland to break the boy band curse

Thank you @dophuquy for the four points!

Yes, we're coming back into this contest when you least expect it

Nah, I really want to manifest the four straight top 10s Lithuanian era So far what I've learned is that commercially successful music from Lithuania never works Music in Lithuanian never works, but also sometimes rarely works Music from Jazzu can win you a contest, but can also land you outside of top 20 Music from me can be the worst performance in Lithuanian history or close to a top 10 Alternative music from Lithuania only works to appease @Wanderer Jazz/soul/r&b music from Lithuania works to appease no one. How do you even go back to the drawing board and choose something

You already said it could happen last contest and it didn't happen. Won't trust it till I see it

Gained points, but still fell down in the rankings. Love that for us

Ah, 3 points for Lithuania, finally we're not starved in session 2 Thanks @Bohemia or @Benolympique , I'd assume this was not one of the two songs you had in common

Called it Denmark was such an obvious choice for @Wanderer Would've been shell shocked if they didn't score.

Felt like I had to scroll through my Instagram archive for years to find this This is the bell pepper stir fry, with chicken, pineapple, bonduelle corn in sweet & sour sauce, the only interchangeable ingredient in the dish is that I use either green beans, red beans or in this case I used edamame

I'm almost certain Denmark (8) is coming up. Lithuania too mainstream to hope for anything from you this time

I really wonder who you thought that was

Best brand of corn there is, without a doubt. They don't beat fresh corn on the grill or freshly boiled, but they are my first and only choice for fried rice or my signature bell pepper stir fry

I believe I already shared it when this meme first originated, but we literally have a song by a local band called "Tangerines". And the lyrics would roughly translate to Tangerines are cool Tangerines are cool Tangerines are cool My head does not hurt from them It's an absolutely awful song, but with how today is panning out, it would probably do better than anything that I've sent in the last 5 years...

Feels that Lithuania is heading straight for another "meh" performance

Yeah, there's not enough of "mass appeal" type of entries to really cause confusion. For the life of me, I could never tell you who's gonna be second or third, or fourth, but for the win, I have a good feeling it's Caro

I think that Caro Emerald will probably win for The Netherlands again. The song is very similar to the song that she won with and there's not really any other "super" contender that would get enough points from many juries to contend as we get later into the day. Would be somewhat surprised if anybody else took it. Unless people didn't vote for Caro on the sheer notion that this artist won before

Thank you for points to the Lithuanian entry @ManuCHIL @Fly_like_a_don and someone from the Brazilian jury @vinipereira @brunamoura @titicow

Hauser and Davidova should look good too, I bet

I thought that it was Algeria, but didn't want to go in on them since I wasn't sure One of the weirdest submissions. It's very unlikely that I score 6 minute songs well, because those that go 6, 7 minutes and more are usually bad in the very first 30 seconds and you can't expect me to listen through the whole thing and do it 5-7 more times until I decide what points it could get. It makes me think that those artists were surrounded by 'yes men' that wouldn't warn them that the song isn't very good, yet they made a 7 minute version from it, when it could've been less painful as three, or not released at all The only way I see 6 minute songs doing really well, it's what's somewhat prominent in the music industry as the album closing track, which usually have a lot of different motives to not get boring, long intros-outros, build-up and very keen on instrumental parts, it's always interchanging to introduce the listener with something new every 15-20 seconds. Some of the best examples that come to mind right now would be Harry Styles "Fine Line", All The Luck In The World "Abhainn", Adele's "Love Is A Game", "Goodnight, Travel Well" by The Killers. It's mostly used as a treat for fans and for artistic expression, but it's at the end of the album, to not disrupt the flow of the album and to weed out the people that don't like you enough to get through a 6-7 minute song from you. If it's your very first time listening/being introduced to an artist, the last thing you want to hear is a 7 minute rendition and it's not the type of song that helps you discover an artist, because no radio, nor playlist will ever pick it up. It's not an album ending track surprisingly, but I'll also use this opportunity to shout-out "Spanish Sahara" by The Foals. Brilliant way to use 6+ minutes, not only the lyrics, but the music tells a story as well. Not surprised it blew up after getting picked up as soundtrack for "Life Is Strange".
