Love or leave
Lithuania: 4Fun to Helsinki
Tonight's final saw eleven acts in all, three of which proceeded to the Super final. Ruta Sciogalevaite with If I ever make you cy was first, followed by Aiste Pilvelyte with Emotional crisis and 4fun with Love or leave in third place. But the tables turned during the second voting period and the final winner was 4fun with Love or leave.
4Fun were the dark horse of this year's Eurovizija. A little-known band won first the Red quarter final, then the semi final and now the final as well. 4Fun formed in 2001 and consists of lead singer and guitar player Julija Ritčik, Justas Jasenko, electric guitar and vocals, And˛ej Zujevič lead guitar and back vocals, Rimantas Jasenka, bass guitar and Raimonas Staniulionis, drums. The band's repertoire is wide and varied from rock'n'roll to pop rock to rhythm & blues and country rock. Their first live CD, Gyvas, was released in 2004.

Greetings from Bosnia

to sweety tweety thnx 
Oh yeah, by the way, happy Independance day, Lithuanians!!!!
Nice choise!! 
Loads of good luck from UK!!
Hope they win this year...
I love this year's Lithuanian entry. The best song of all (32 already known).
I believe that it will do great in Helsinki. It will be a real oasis in an overwehlming thunderstorm of bad taste songs (the worse songs ever i dare to say).
Good Luck Lithuania! 12p from me
so...4fun. I think Lithuania in this year will be in top 5
good luck Lietuva!
nice song love it
This is rather nice and a huge relief after last year. Well done Lithuania. The only thing that is bad is the daft name 4Fun.
There are trully some kids who cannot stop boasting. Let it be. Who doesn't like their own country especially after lithuanian roulette in 1991? For those who don't understand, Lithuanian roulette is a game - an unarmed crowd which doesn't retreat against Soviet tanks.
(Translation: blem, nezjbalinkit, ir taip gadinat visa reikala kaip paskutiniai zyzlos. Bent nesirodytumet, kad is Lietuvos esat, moliai... Eikit, pagirkit kokia kita sali, kad pamalonintumet. Gal laimesit viena kita balsa uz musu dievukus.) 
4FUN 4EVER
some people on this site say that Lithuania will finish last this year remember many said they would finish last in last years contest and look where they finished. this years song is a great deal better than last years song it deserves to do as well as last year.
4FUN IS THE BEST
Lina, Mantas - I can understand children having fun in possibilities to express their opinion as superior (especially, when it is so original, that can cross painlessly opinions of both - local commission and their fellow local voters), but for this fun there is a pun, that tickets to Helsinki were given those, who play for fun much better.
Sorry, kids, your rage is laughable, and uncovers things, you should be regretting yourself along your paths of getting mature. And let you wish good ones ;-)
Don't be too hard at spoilng pleasure to other people to discover beauty of song, YOU are sending to ESC this year. It is good! You're so funny...
My prediction for semi as it is now:
1. Denmark
2. Bulgaria
3. Switzerland
4. Moldova
5. Belarus
6. Netherlands
7. Macedonia
8. Israel
9. Cyprus
10. Estonia
11. Slovenia
12. Andorra
13. Georgia
14. Croatia
15. Malta
16. Poland
17.Norway
18. Iceland
19. Albania
20. Belgium
21. Montenegro
I didn't rate my country's entry, it wouldn't be fair...
Greetings from Bosnia & Herzegovina

A lot of support from Greece this year too for Lietuva!
I was so embarrased last year in Greece on boo-ing you, and still I cannot find the reason...
Lots of love, support, kisses & votes from us down here in Greece!!!!!!
Wig Wam, anyone can say their opinion, am I right? I guess.
I said mine. Lithuanian's choice is a huge mistake, which will be in last place and that's it.
Yeah Mantas, I agree with you. I liked Augustes song too
Lina Never i agree with you.
In my opinion only Natas, Mini-me and Saules Kliosas were worse than 4fun
To Lina please shut up your mouth my dear
day by day i like it more and more "Love or Leave"
I meant Ruta Sciogolevaite
RÅ«ta ŠÄ¨iogolevaitÄ— should win, but not 4Fun
you know that your words mean nothing at all??? last year everyone said that we had bad song, that Finland had bad song, but look what happened. This years song (4Fun) are terribly bad, you could listen it at home, or restaurant but not in Eurovision. Congratulation Lithuania with last place
cst, you just got to spin this song on repeat, as I do now for second day - it grows on you so great! Tried to do something similar with other contender's thingie and got to abandon after second listen. There must be some difference in there, ha ha ;-)
Go on, 4Fun people!
Finally a **decent entry** from Lithuania......
