Little by little
One of the biggest travesties of the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 was Lithuania’s entry Laura and the Lovers with ‘Little By Little’ finishing dead last in the semi-final. The former Soviet state had one of the best songs in the competition and definitely did not deserve such a bad result. The song did have an abismal placing, they were second on, but Laura and her lovers had so much going for them. Boots, dress, song, and strut. Interestingly the only countries that gave Lithuania any points at all were their northern neighbours Estonia (7 pts.), and then 5 from Ireland and 4 for the United Kingdom. It has been suggested that the UK’s generosity was actually thanks to the country’s sizeable Lithuanian community. Unfortunately I can’t find a video of the live performance, but below is the music video of the song, rapidshare link for the mp3.

I really liked the song posted. Thank you for sharing :)
I really like that song too. But it seems a bit old fashioned.
I fear that Estonia could face a similar fate as Lithuania in this years semifinal. They also have a nice song which would be popular on many a local radiostation (also here in Denmark) but seems too much yesterdays sound.
Well it happened! Poor Estonia.
Oh My God!
Laura and the Lovers were robbed, that was one of the best songs of the year, as was Estonia's entry this year. I was looking forward to hearing much more from L&theL, but I guess it's not going to happen...
