Again, another one of those good attempts that just didn't work out. It's an annoying song to listen to after a while, but I do find myself singing along to it or humming it at random times! So, that's a pretty good thing, right?

OMG, Not good at all.

No final for Lithuania this year.I know that this country had surprising results and every year they had odds against them and still qualified.Still I really think not this time.The song is just bad and it will go down

2

Douwe

Vilija certainly has the voice and is very cute but 'Attention' is a very disjointed song. The lyric deals with how women in some countries have a bad reputation and that they need care and cannot be bought. A club sound that I fear will struggle to reach the final.

Elias

Vilija have a strong voice and a nice stage presence. Her song is screaming for Attention but I think will not gather much although it can just make it to the final.

7

José

For me Lithuania had a much appealing version on Mia. Vilija sounds sometimes like a rap singer. I really wish this poor show get little attention on Eurovision.

4

Mark

As this song went on I liked it more and more, its no winner but I think it will make the final

6.5

Melissa

This is just one hot mess. The only good thing about this are Vilija's vocals, that is, when the choreography isn't so demanding of her that you can actually hear them. Better luck next year.

3.5

Octavio

It sounds a bit repetitive, not bad but strange, rather original. I think the wrong singer was chosen, Vilija has a personal and strong voice, but definitely has to work on making her performance memorable. I'd say it needs an improved version and a good staging this could go to the final.

Paul C

Not a bad song, Vilija looks nice on stage and vocals are OK but again, I do not see this winning at all.

Do they get points by singing the words so fast that you don´t have time to breathe? What´s wrong this year ? Again just crap....

Roberto

This song has something interesting. It's an original attempt to do something different in this edition. The rhythm is very good, but some parts of it must be enhanced, as well as the performance. The song gives a catchy atmosphere and that's a great goal.

6.5

Roy

I have never been to this country and do not see me going there in 2015. This song won't get my "attention". I looked at all 3 versions and they were fairly different, I guess the winning one was chosen because she composed the song.

5.5

Samantha

Songs without defined rhyme schemes are a bit of a bugbear for me, and even though Vilija wrote "Attention", there still seems to be something forced and unnatural about this. Try as I might, I just can't get into this.

Unwarranted attention! OK, might just grow on me but I can't see it having what it takes to get enough attention to get it out of the semi.

5

Brian

OK so the English does leave a little to be desired but once she gets going I quite like the song and I like the rawness in her voice. The chorus is fairly catchy and the music track comes across well.

7.5

Danny

After a rather strange and complicated selection process, we finally have the Lithuanian entry! They’ve gone for something VERY different this time. Vilija is a great performer, but I do feel this needs a little bit more work before it gets to Copenhagen . If they managed to qualify last year with a complete dirge of a song, they should have no problems this year!

8

David A

This is a rather good song but they chose the weakest of the finalists to sing it. Requires a major makeover in presentation but hopefully with some work this may do well for Lithuania .

6

David B

OK so this song is not a thing of beauty and Vilja's vocals seem a bit snarled in places. I know I should loathe this entry yet somehow I can't. 'Attention' is a brash mess and probably doomed to the lower reaches of the semi-final, however . . . for some reason I'm enjoying it!

6

David E

Well, at least this is a bit different and I applaud it for that.  They have qualified with far weaker songs so I think this may do quite well.

7

Dean

A lengthy selection process and we get this?  Cripes. Ok, it’s well sung, but the song is just forgettable.  It doesn’t get my attention….

2

Eddie

A well produced song - great modern feel. She's got a great pop voice. The flow of the song doesn't work between the verse  and chorus. And stop copying Loreen and get more than one backing dancer - he just looks weird.

5.5

Gary

This is growing on me fast. Unusual, brave perhaps. I like it, but I can’t yet place it. A modern sound that will grab some votes from the youth of Europe I imagine. Eurovision with attitude.

7.5

Matt

Bits of this are good but overall Im not that keen.  I expect it'll be a grower but will that be enough for the votes to come in? Maybe if she wears that 'frock' she'll get extra points?

4

Nico

It's not awful. I admire the attempt to do something in a different style, but it really does nothing for me.

4.5

Paul J

Bizarre staging, song reminds me of Slovenia from last year and look how that turned out. Jury's out on this one!

6

Sally-Ann

A song I would be happy to never listen to again, with strained vocals and a barely discernible tune.

Tristán

A wonderful song, a contemporary interpretation, and my favourite Lithuanian song since Laura and the Lovers in 2005. This was also the best version of "Attention" by a mile. This could easily be a top-selling record around the world. A virtuoso performance. Can this be topped this year?
