Lithuania has decided

EDC: Karina and Saulius to Glasgow

The national Lithuanian final was held earlier tonight and Karina Krysko with Saulius Skambinas are the public's favourites to represent the country in the Eurovision Dance Contest to be held in Glasgow.

Out of the five competing couples the jury voted  ballet dancers Jekaterina Romankova and Nerijus Jasaitis in first place with 12 points. Karina and Saulius were voted 2-4 place with 10 points. But the winner was decided by the televoters that gave 12 points to the winning couple. Here is the full scoreboard (Jury/Televote):

  1. Karina Krysko and Saulius Skambinas (10/12)

  2. Jekaterina Romankova and Nerijus Jasaitis (12/10)

  3. Rūta Ščiogolevaitė (NF 1999, 2004, 2007) and Deividas Meškauskas (10/8)

  4. Donatas Montvydas and Katerina Voropaj (10/6)

  5. Ignas Krupavičius and Beata Skaisgirytė (8/7)

Karina is the member of a popular girls' band "69 Danguje" and she is also teaching kids as non professional dancer. Karina and Saulius met during a TV show "Dance with a star" where they were ranked in the 3rd place. After the show they became a couple and one of most wanted show buisiness' representatives to get the interviews from.

I do hope this will not be the last Eurovision contest organized by The UK.
This year the EDC is going to be amazing :) Glasgow is a nice city, I've been there. I used to dance Scottish country dances but I know nothing about Ballroom dancing.

Shame on you, Greece and Azerbaijan :(

I didn't get to watch EDC last year 'cos I went away. I'm not quite sure wether or not I'll enjoy it , it's not quite the same as Eurovision. To me dancing is dancing I can't really tell which is the best! I'll watch it anyway, hopefully it'll be good.

On a negative note this could be the last Eurovision Contest we ever hold.

but everybody is welcome to come here and enjoy the United Kingdom and also a wonderful city like Glasgow.

Hopefully we will put on a stunning show this year puting Eurovision at its best.
