- VB Gang – “Kaboom!!!” – 10 + 12 = 22
- Luka Kuraitė – “Move On” – 7 + 8 = 15
- Clockwork Creep – “Empty” – 8 + 6 = 14
- Marius Petraukas – “Kol laiko yra” – 6 + 7 = 13
- Antoine Wend – “Say No More” – 5 + 5 = 10
- Aistay – “You” – 4 + 4 = 8
- Živilė Gedvilaitė – “Save Me” – 3 + 3 = 6
The show was hosted by Gabrielė Martirosian and Nombeko Augustė Khotseng, whilst TikTok star Nerijus Trilikauskas was the green room host.
The jury panel was made up of Lithuanian Eurovision commentator, Ramūnas Zilnys, LRT Opus Director Darius Užkuraitis, songwriter and composer Vytautas Bikus, performer Ieva Narkutė and Eurovision 2022 representive Monika Liu.
