D. Užkuraitis names the brightest favorite of the national ‘Eurovision’ selection: ‘I have no complaints’
Musicologist D. Užkuraitis praises Lion Ceccah's song 'Sólo quiero más' as a top contender for Eurovision.
In the lead-up to the national ‘Eurovision’ selection, musicologist D. Užkuraitis has singled out Lion Ceccah's performance of 'Sólo quiero más' as a standout piece in the final program. He commended the song for its blend of voice, modern dramaturgy, and a clear visual concept, stating, 'Everything is good; I have no complaints.' This positive feedback underscores Ceccah's strong potential to perform well in the competition, enhancing Lithuania's prospects at Eurovision.
While expressing admiration for certain performances, Užkuraitis also offered constructive criticism on other favorites. He highlighted Atikin’s widely favored song from the semifinals, noting its structure and sound while suggesting that the visual element could be more cohesive. This enhancement, he believes, could significantly impact the emotional resonance of the performance. The juxtaposition of different styles, particularly with Ukraine's similar presentations in past competitions, was also a point of discussion, illustrating the challenges performers face in standing out.
The analysis did not stop there; further commentary on the group 'SHWR' praised its melodious line, which he found 'very pleasing to the listener.' Despite this positivity, he remarked that it takes time to refine performance visuals for maximum impact. Through his evaluations, Užkuraitis provides both encouragement and a call for continuous improvement in the realm of Lithuanian entries, as the country prepares for its representation at Eurovision, aiming to captivate both the local and international audiences.
