What can one song be guilty of? Being too hot? Too Sexy? Too fun? Too perfect of a pop song?

It’s a song that can’t decide what genre it belongs to. It bounces from style to style, never settling and becomes an absolute mess on the Eurovision stage.

"Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah" she screams. No No No NO, I say! Why did you do this to us Lithuania? Why?
