Here’s some that have been posted online:
Some more of the songs can be found here. The acts will not introduce the song that they would sing at Eurovision 2013 until the heat stage.
Do the early popular act, Dar, look like they could represent Lithuania in Malmö?
I like Multiks’ 80s sound so I voted for them.
I kinda wish “Audra” would be their entry. I also liked Eden’s choice of song – a rock song with an accordion solo, lol.
DAR and Ugne Smile , from what i’ve seen .
I dont get this, this is like to get known in the country and start a buzz right? without the actual songs, we cant really say anything; a lot of the names look familiar to me and remember liking some of them in the past (mostly Eden’s “Nirvana”)
I am not going to vote for anyone. I just declared my support for Monika’s classy live vocals. I can only wish that she finds the right song this time. Good luck to all hopefuls.
The fact that DAR leads this televote proves why people shouldn’t have any power. Oh god… my ears. You’ll rarely hear me say this, but the men of the group are so much better than the women. The girls can’t sing.
PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!! :*******
Marko! HI! :D
From what I have heard Multiks sound like the most interesting act so far… DAR are just horrible.
