Lithuania's The Roop are bringing the party to Rotterdam! They're singing "Discoteque" in the first semi-final of Eurovision 2021. Will they make it through to the grand final? The Wiwi Jury dicuss. Wiwiblogger Renske in The Netherlands writes:
"It’s not a clone of its predecessor 'On Fire', and even after all these months 'Discoteque' is not getting boring. The Roop have managed to stay true to themselves without getting predictable or tacky. The lyrics are immediately understandable and fit in our current world. The fact that The Roop manages to tell you to be confident, even when you feel insecure, and still bring a funny and danceable track is amazing. While a lot of songs fall apart due to extensive symbolism, 'Discoteque' scores with strong simplicity."
