After a marathon selection process with a fair share of ins and outs Lithuania has decided to send the rock group 4Fun to Helsinki with the song Love or leave.
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.
