Mia "This Time"
Mia was one of three finalists at "Eurovizijos" dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka, the interminably long selection process Lithuania set up to choose both the singer and song to send to Vienna. She made it through six weeks of eliminations and had a good chance to win.
Then, after the winning song was chosen, somebody decided to pair up the other two contestants and make the winning song a duet.
Vaidas Baumila & Monika Linkytė "This Time"
Poor girl didn't have a chance at all.

As for the winning contestants, this is the best example of hopping on the coattails of Eurovision trends that we have at the contest. This is a countrified schlager duet--it's as if last year's Dutch and Swedish entries cross pollinated. It's a likely final qualifier and rather popular in the Eurovision fandom.
I personally hate it. The chorus is catchy enough on one listen, which is perfect for casual Eurovision fans, but it's really hard to listen to over and over again. It's skippable.
Vaidas and Monika were the right singers to send to the contest. I just wish they had a less annoying song.
