Lithuania: 11th time lucky for Aistė Pilvelytė?

The songs and artists for the 2020 Lithuanian national final are revealed. And to our surprise (or not?) one of the contestants will be Aistė Pilvelytė. She is not quite new to the Lithuanian national final. The first time Lithuania had a national selection anyway, in 1999, she was one of the contestants. Another nine attempts to represent her country were about to follow. In 2008, 2010 and 2017, she came closest to Eurovision with a second place. Can it be 11th time lucky for her?

Eurovision 2026 reactions: joy, relief and disappointment after semifinal

📷 EBU/Corinne Cumming The Eurovision 2026 reactions started immediately after Tuesday night’s first semi-final in Vienna. Greece, Finland, Belgium, Sweden, Moldova, Israel, Serbia, Croatia, Lithuania and Poland qualified for Saturday’s Grand Final. Portugal, Georgia, Montenegro, Estonia and San Marino did not make it through. Since Eurovision does not reveal the full semi-final ranking until later, the “winners” of the night are the ten qualifiers. Qualifiers celebrate their Grand Final place Greece’s Akylas reacted emotionally in comments reported by Greek newspaper LiFO. “Greece, we did it,” he said, adding that he was “so, so happy” and proud after reaching the final. Sweden’s Felicia also sounded relieved. In a message to Aftonbladet, she said the performance felt “incredible” and that she was now “very excited to win.” Belgium’s ESSYLA called her qualification “so insane” and “so incredible” in a filmed Instagram reaction. Moldova’s Satoshi also reacted on Instagram, saying that “Moldova is on duty” and that he felt full of happiness.   Lithuania’s Lion Ceccah gave one of the most personal reactions. Speaking to LRT, he said the moment brought his feelings back after a long period of pressure: “You want to qualify so badly.” Poland’s Alicja Szemplińska also thanked fans after qualifying, saying: “We did it! We really did it!” and promising that the final would bring even more effort. Finland’s UMK account kept it short and clear: “Suomi etenee lauantain viisufinaaliin,” meaning Finland is moving on to Saturday’s final. Serbia’s Eurovision account posted: “See you in the finals! Vidimo se u finalu!” In Croatia, tportal described LELEK’s reaction as pure disbelief and celebration, with hugs and jumping after their name was announced. Non-qualifiers thank fans and look back Portugal’s Bandidos do Cante responded with gratitude. On Instagram, they thanked everyone who followed their Eurovision adventure and said they left with the certainty that Alentejo could not have been better represented. Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manhã confirmed that Portugal stayed in the semi-final with “Rosa”. Georgia’s Bzikebi kept their message brief, posting “Thank you all!” on Instagram. Montenegro’s Tamara Živković had earlier thanked everyone listening to and supporting her song, while Vijesti reported after the show that she missed the final. Estonia’s Vanilla Ninja were also eliminated; national broadcaster ERR reported that Estonia did not qualify. San Marino’s SENHIT, who performed “Superstar” with Boy George, also focused on gratitude. Her social media message thanked fans for their love and support. The Eurovision 2026 reactions therefore showed two sides of the same night: qualifiers quickly switched to Grand Final mode, while the non-qualifiers framed Vienna as an intense but valuable experience.
