The full results were as follows: Monika Liu becomes the first act of the selection to win both the jury and the televote, doing so by a wide margin. In general, the juries and the public were in agreement, with the main outlier being Vilija Matačiūnaitė coming 2nd to last with the public but scoring second place with the jury, barely making it into the qualifiers in this heat. Other qualifiers were Eurovizijos Atranka/PiN veterans Rūta Loop, Gebrasy, Lolita Zero, and Gintarė Korsakaitė.
