This is a prime example of an entry that attempts to be edgy but just ends up sounding weird. I like the look of it on stage, but I just don't remember a single element of the song itself after listening to it.

This song is a mess. I dont like it all. It is standing out but not in a good way. I think the whole package is not working and it will remain in the semi final.

The time has come for a revolutionary proposal from this Baltic country but….from next year. I wonder why the Lithuanians are organizing so many qualifying and pre- semi finals for having this result. For sure thy will get some Irish and Polish (Catholic in general) points but this fact will not bring back the Grand Prix to the Baltic sea again. One of my worst entries this year… Please Lithuania make me change my mind…

I’ve listened to this song quite a number of times but I still can’t nor remember it, nor make any opinion. Should we call such songs a Eurovision plankton?

Last year Donny took LT to the top 10 but I very much doubt this feat will be repeated in 2017 as there are a lot of flaws here. Viktorija, the lead singer doesn't have the big R&B voice the song was intended for and her technique needs a lot of work as indeed does her pronunciation. The cheap trumpets, the vocals that feel out of place and the electronic beats all clash so it becomes overwhelming. This song grew in popularity during Lithuania 's selection process and credit to the Lithuanian's for being experimental and having the courage to send something different but it will struggle..

What is this supposed to be, really? It's like they've tried to cram in as many genres as possible in one song.  The result is a non melodic, failed avant garde, jazz hybrid, performed by Little My from Mumin.

After a brilliant 2016, Lithuania comes with a scream fest of 3 minutes. I think it's too bad to make such a long pre-selection and end by choosing a song that disappoints so much.

I think this song wins the prize if worst song at this years Eurovision. It is simply awful and really badly sung. Just horrible

Melissa

Okay I like the verses, but the chorus is pretty bad. It starts off to promising and then plunges into the depths of mediocre! And I really hope they get someone without vertigo on the delegation because the camera angles and LED in the national final performance are headache inducing.

Octavio

Great funky sound, Viktorija's voice is similiar to Lisa Stansfield. I think the song itself is actually quite good and unique, Its just that the vocals need work. Actually good song.

5

Paul C

Well, that is not good at all, quite weird, I don't like anything about it.

1.5

Pia

Some hard rock, yes thank you. So many ballads so this sticks out , GOOD ! ( not my favourite, but cuts off all the ballads ....)

Roberto

When a nice starting rhythm turns into something flimsy and negligible. Too many "yeahs" for an entry that pretends to be modern. Crummy.

4

Roy

I expected a horror as there was not a single song I even remotely liked. It was not as horrible as expected but this song is not my cup-a-tea at all and don't cause a revolution in my music liking. I cannot see them qualify

Samantha

I've listened to this song about five times already, and can barely remember how it goes...that can't be a good sign.

I do not think this song is up to standard to the rest of them, she has a good voice but song not good enough, will not make the final

Danny

What a disappointment. The Lithuanians had a massive long drawn-out process lasting what felt like months and they had some amazing songs in their line up, but somehow ended with a distinctly average track which is completely unmemorable. This is a real shame. Probably the worst national final result of the year.

5

David B

What kind of fresh hell is this? The beat isn't too bad but the singer kills the whole thing spectacularly with great aplomb. As we all take a moment to guess which language she's singing in, this staggering vision in scarlet proceeds to jump up and down on the mangled carcass of the song. Bravo madam!

2

David E

Oh my - what a frenetic and funky hot mess this is!  Does anyone have a scooby what she's singing about, or even what language this is meant to be in?  A contender for last place in its Semi, I'm afraid. 

4.5

Dean

Oh crikey, what’s this? Where’s the tune? Too many ‘heh’ hehs’.  This could come across well live, but I need a melody. Not my thing.

4

Eddie

A unique mix of pop, rock and electro. Each section of the song is good but they don't build to anything. Is she in pain at the end? Hard to call how this will do.

5

Edward

A refreshing albeit strangely retro entry, imaginatively staged and well performed.  It’s exciting to watch and the music is funky even danceable.  The chords get exciting as the song builds to a climax.  I wonder if everyone will get it, but I applaud an entry that is different and serious.

8

Gary

Well this will challenge a few viewers. I like what I take to be the verse with its incessant rolling beat and drawing-you-in vocals, but what seems to be the chorus, appears to belong to a different song style. I think this will struggle to qualify as its just a bit too much - in fact a master class in how to get it wrong.

Joe  

They turned down Paula and Greta for this. I have no idea why. It's ok I guess, but the rest of Europe is thinking 'look what you could have won' (a la Bullseye from the '80s)

Kevin

Not a patch on the entry last year, Lithuania return with Fusedmarc, Described as an electronic band, they deliver a song called rain of revolution, nothing special, but history tells me it will make the final

5

Lloyd

I find pretty much everything about this song annoying, firstly the vocals are not clear, the expressions on the performers face, even her hairstyle was upsetting by the end of the performance. Best bits for me was the backing singers and the elements of brass.

3

Mark M

Apparently she's singing in English.  Who knew!?  I just don't like it and don't think the diaspora vote can get this through.  It's disjointed and doesn't really go anywhere.

Martin

If Lithuania wants to be in Saturday's Final, Fusedmarc have a lot of work to do.  At the moment the song is dated, the lead vocals aren't very clear or that dynamic and the staging is minimal.  The one plus is that the chorus is catchy and stays hanging around - this entry's only saving grace...

5

Matt

I have tried to think of something constructive to say about this.  But I can't. Such a long process to end up with this.  Awful. Sorry

1

Nico

There's a cool vibe to the verse that really builds and I love the styling and the presentation. Alas, it doesn't really build to anything, the chorus doesn't really hook me in.

Sally-Ann

I'm saying this might be the worst song in it, but I'm also saying it may well spring a surprise in its semi purely for being so different. One man's shriek-fest is another's douze pwar.
