Ireland and Lithuania got their first zeros in 2024 year.

All three "Baltic sisters" celebrated their anniversary on Eurovision in 2025 year. After Lithuania I wish to continue with Estonia. Based on Eurovision participation it's the oldest sister. This thread will have the same format with Lithuania. Firstly short ranking of all Eurovsion entries, after it the diving into all national pre-selections.

Eurovizijos atranka - 2004 Songs : 52 (!!!) It's the first year with many participants and semi-finals stage. So before the selection of pre-qualified entries I will create my version of national final. Rules : In each of the first five semi-finals top 3 advanced to the final, while top 2 from sixth semi-final advanced to the final. One song also proceeded to the final as the highest scoring non-qualifying act.

Eurovizijos atranka - 2002 Songs : 15 Pre-qualified : 1 Iris - Find Your Song Third pre-selection gave the earliest Lithuanian song for my retrospective chart "Gražios Dainos". Iris' song debuted at # 5 and reached # 3 for three non-consecutive weeks behind allSTARS* and Melodifestivalen entry "Big Time Party".

Elton John deserved a better result in this round.

Tactical vote against Jay Sean. #saveEmma

Eurovizijos atranka - 2001 Songs : 15 Pre-qualified : 0 There are nothing really interesting in this NF. I can understand how Skamp won with 5/10 song. Erica Jennings from Skamp will do a comeback with much stronger solo music material.

Eurovizijos atranka - 1999 Songs : 12 Pre-qualified : 3 Ruta Sciogolevaite - Vasaros Buvo Per Daug Aiste Pilvelyte - Tylos Verinys Aiste Pilvelyte - Nubudusi Sirdis Two famous Lithuanian singers Ruta Sciogolevaite and Aiste Pilvelyte, but losers in Eurovision pre-selections, debuted already in 1999 year. It was typical 90s Eurovsion with talented singers, but mostly forgettable songs.

"We Are The Winners" is iconic and the most memorable Lithuanian Eurovision song. Pop Ladies performed it on national pre-selection 2013 (maybe in the final). All four members of Pop Ladies are popular Lithuanian singers. If you watched Lithuanian NFs you can remember Liepa (NF-2025), Baiba (NF-2023) and Natalija (from YVA). I will continue with my favourites from all Lithuanian pre-selection from 1999 to 2025. Based on the number of songs (sometimes) Lithuanian Atranka is even more iconic than Melodifestivalen. Also I will do the threads for Latvia and Estonia in the same format. Firstly the ranking of all their Eurovision songs and after it all my favourites from NFs. More love for Baltic Sisters and their wonderful (but mostly missed) songs from pre-selections. For other countries - my favourites from 2000-2024 were mentioned in 2024 year thread. With 2025 entires Remember Monday will be the second place for UK (behind Scooch), Laika Party is the third place in Ireland and Luxembourg must be mentioned too.

Fantasy Island is a masterpiece. Missed Eurovision song from Netherlands.

I Should Be So Lucky, but.... in 1999 year, when I was 16 years old.
