An astonishing reaction from the 'Great Choir Battle' jury to Martynas Kavaliauskas

The choir from Kaunas performed Stromae's song 'Papaoutai' in French, receiving a standing ovation from the jury and audience alike.

In a bold challenge, the Kaunas choir took on the complex task of performing 'Papaoutai' by Belgian artist Stromae in its original French language. In preparation for this performance, the entire choir learned French to achieve an authentic sound, and their efforts did not go unnoticed. Both the project directors and the audience were impressed by the meticulous preparations, as evidenced by the emotional outburst that followed their performance.

Following the Kaunas 'Rubininis' choir's performance in the studio, there was a palpable surge of emotion from all teams participating in the event. The reactions from the other city teams were electric; prolonged applause erupted, marking a historic moment as all three jury members stood up for the first time to applaud. Show host Rolandas Mackevičius noted that the Kaunas 'Rubininis' choir delivered a performance that left everyone astounded, truly setting a standard for the competition.

Actress and project director Inga Jankauskaitė openly shared her feelings about the performance, expressing a blend of awe and trepidation at the choir’s raw talent, especially given that this was only the third episode of the series. She stated that the event transcended a mere performance, labeling it an absolute work of art, exhibiting a separate consciousness and soul of its own. Each wave of the performance captured the audience's emotions, creating a powerful, cascading effect that left listeners deeply moved and connected to the experience.
