Today, it is the turn of the Lithuanian entry, ‘Rain of Revolution’ by Fusedmarc, to be reviewed by Katarina, Luke, Nathan, Rodrigo, Sagheer, and Simon. Let’s get started!

The Reviews

Katarina

After two years of sending catchy pop songs, Lithuania is back to its weird and confusing self. I like the lyrics of this song, but that’s it. The music isn’t memorable at all, the vocalist is shouting instead of singing and her dance moves creep me out.

Luke

OH MY GOD IT’S LITTLE MY! We have our first moomin at Eurovision, guys! Oh, no, wait, it’s just Cilia from Fusedmarc. This isn’t good, Lithuania. I wish that a rain of revolution had filled the arena during the national final, drowned Fusedmarc, and saved us all from this horror. The vocals are great, but they definitely don’t make for the appalling song. The overall effect is: cheap.

Nathan

An absolute disaster of a national final was rounded off by this winning. How on earth so many others were overlooked in favour of this is beyond me.

Rodrigo

Three minutes of intolerable noise.

Sagheer

After last year’s top 10 finish, I had high hopes for Lithuania and to say I’m disappointed is a huge understatement.

Simon

Huh?

Scores
