The semifinal of Lithuania’s Pabandom Iš Naujo concluded just a few moments ago and we now know the full line up for next week’s Final which will ultimately choose the Lithuanian entry for Rotterdam 2021.

The jury comprised Ramūnas Zilnys; Aistė Smilgevičiūtė; Jievaras Jasinskis; Gerūta Griniūtė and Stanislavas Stavickis-Stano, and their combined votes gave the following scores:

- Martyna (20) – 5
- Titas Ir Benas (16) – 4
- Aiste Brokenleg (16) -3
