The singular national final concluding this weekend so before you all get attracted by Marcus & Martinus' erm, charms...

 

It seems to be between two contenders according to the odds. 'So Low', an 80s synthy song with quite a captivating voice.

 

 

or uptempo pop-rock:

 

 

I'd prefer Beatrich between these two but I think both would easily qualify. Beyond this Petunija/Paulina/Monika Linkyte would be k but these are probably the strongest hopes.

#TeamPetunija #TeamPaulina

I would count myself amongst the moody Alison Moyet vocals of #TeamRuta

TWIST! Monika Linkyte takes the win.

 

*gasps*

 

Great winner though! Much preferred this song over Beatrich or Ruta Mur any day x

Yeah this one was nice. Making use of the choral elements towards the end really helps.

 

A downgrade on Monika Ls though, even if that was a given.

I'm obsessed :cheeseblock:

Incredible. It was such a small and simple thing to add but it just really elevates this song for me. I keep finding myself randomly singing it just going about my day
