Lithuania: Ieva returns to “Pabandom iš Naujo!” with many hopes!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ieva Zasimauskaite hopes to return to the Eurovision stage after four years. She participates again in the Lithuanian national final for the contest.

As we revealed through our social media, we are one of the lucky ones to hear I’ll Be There in advance. Of course the song is in Ieva’s familiar style. It is a ballad, with not as slow tempo as her entry in 2018. The song is built throughout its duration. It starts with a simpler orchestration while in the second part it fills up and we hear some percussion. Its melody is easy to remember, while Ieva’s interpretation fills the listener with emotions and images. On the bridge the song becomes audible, to be completed with a quiet melodic erasure.

Ieva’s appearance in the second qualifying round of Pabandom iš Naujo! expected simple but impressive. The rehearsals started today and what we can reveal to you is that we will see a quite different Ieva compared to her previous participation. We will see more of her feminine side, without of course always losing her elegance.

The video clip of I’ll Be There will be released on Saturday 15/1, the same day that Ieva will present it live for the first time, during the second qualifying round of Pabandom iš Naujo !.

Until then, let ‘s remember once again When We’re Old, with which Ieva won the twelfth place at Eurovision 2018.

Lithuania’s public broadcaster has decided to make several changes, notably shortening the duration of Eurovizijos Atranka 2020, the country’s national final for Eurovision. Every Saturday from 11 January until 15 February, we will be watching the efforts of artists who will attempt to bring Lithuania its first Eurovision contest victory.

36 songs will compete at Eurovizijos Atranka 2020

60 songs have been submitted to Lithuanian public television for Eurovision 2020. Of these, a panel has selected the 36 best which will participate in Eurovizijos Atranka 2020. The structure of the national selection has not been announced so far. How many qualifiers and semifinals will we have?

What we do know, however, is that Eurovizijos Atranka 2020 will consist of six shows, with the last of course final, on 15 February. So it is possible to have four qualifiers, one semifinal and one final.

But we also know the presenters. For the second consecutive year, Eurovizijos Atranka 2020 will be presented by Gabrielė Martirosian and Giedrius Masalskis. But Ieva Zasimauskaitė, who in 2018 represented Lithuania with When We Great Old, taking the twelfth position,will join them . Ieva will be the presenter of the Green Room.

With changes to Eurovizijos Atranka 2020

In addition to the shorter duration of Eurovizijos Atranka 2020, Lithuanian public television has made other changes to its national selection show. The jury will not be in another studio nor judge the songs, just comment in general. Also, the results of the televoting during the show will only be seen at the end.

Also, each artist could submit a single song. Lithuanian public television has pledged to raise funds to finance its participation in Rotterdam.

This year, in Tel Aviv, Lithuania, Jurijus represented the country with “Run With The Lions”, winning 11th place in the second semifinals, failing to qualify.
