Lithuania LITHUANIA 2022 - Monika Liu - Sentimentai

[escYOUnited]

Tuk tuk tuk
naktį į širdį pasibeldžia
ilgesio pilna
atminimų lydima
dvasia

Tu, tai tu, tai tu
seniai matytas veide
Ko juokies lyg klounas
iš mano spindinčių akių?

Sukasi ratu galvoje momentai
bėga bėga ten, kur ir tu
Milijonas rožių lyg sentimentai
skęsta jūroje debesų

Ah…

Ošia jūra nerami
man ašaros akyse
Viskas - jis nebesugrįš niekada
jis atplaukė juoda puta

Pamenu, kaip stoviu Nidos kopų vidury
Ir žuvėdrai moju
toli, toli…

Sukasi ratu galvoje momentai
bėga bėga ten, kur ir Tu
Milijonas rožių lyg sentimentai
skęsta jūroje debesų

Sukasi ratu galvoje momentai
bėga bėga ten, kur ir Tu
Milijonas rožių lyg sentimentai
skęsta jūroje debesų

With the semifinalist list complete and the performances out, I think Lithuania could have a lot of difficulty with qualifying this year.
I don't see any strong performances or strong songs that can bring Lithuania to the top. We will see how the singers will modify the staging during the semifinals.

I think Gebrasy can bring them another top 10 if he levels up his staging, the performance was amazing but yeah the stage felt a bit empty and he probably lost votes 'cause of it

Ngl Lithuania is one of my least favourite ESC countries, I almost neve like their entries, so it's no surprise that I don't really like any of these songs. From the songs that seem to have chances, I hope they go for "Sentimentai", only because we rarely get to hear Lithuanian in Eurovision and it was the most enjoyable from all the songs.

AY AY GEBRASY SO ROBBED.

what was robbed here?
he has missed the opportunity trying it in UK.
they love stuff like this a lot.

Thought I owed it to myself and glorious Lithuania to properly catch up with their NF, and I'm very glad that I did. As usual there are lots of interesting tracks and styles that would be hard to find in any other selection, and some incredibly captivating performances.

Lolita Zero was astonishing. What a dark, moody piece of electronic music with visuals to match. Would be a dream to have such a delicious synthwave entry at the contest. I was captivated by her performance.

Monika Liu was really good. Lithuania sending an Italo disco inspired track to Eurovision in Italy would be a moment. Actually I think it would be risky of them, same applies to Lolita, but both would be risks worth taking.

Some other nice tracks here. Fantasy Eyes is a great slice of throwback R&B and very well performed. Into Your Arms I think has a certain charm to it. I feel as though I shouldn't like it as much as I do but something about it is clicking with me. I prefer it more than Gebrasy's attempt last year, which itself wasn't too bad. Back to myself has a crazy instrumental. The synths are wild. This is hyper and fun. Washing Machine had a Girls Aloud vibe to it. Again, very fun and creative!

Before You're 6ft Under is perhaps the most well performed song here. Augesté has amazing stage presence and confident vocals. If only the song itself matched but it's not bad. How To Get Your Life Back is interesting. Reminds me a bit of a particular Zola Jesus track. Call Me From The Cold is almost there. The performance is captivating and I wondered if this could have been the next Make Me Human as it started, but it's nowhere near that level composition wise which is a shame. Still alright.


The chances of Lithuania picking something decent to great seem high, that is so long as Ieva doesn't snatch it. I could at least understand the fuss behind When We're Old. Her song this year is musical wallpaper.

Ieva Zasimauskaitė - I'll be there = 3/10

KAIIIIII

 

[NikolaiMoller]

Lolita Zero for the win bless her

Lolita Zero for the win

only bubble-gum.

 

[Iker]

Monika Liu is so stylish, I am enamoured by her song & voice. And that 'Mushroom hairdo' of Monika fits that tasty throwback music to a T.

[esc87fan]

Looks like semifinal 2 will be the bloodbath

 

[kamc]

I can only dream that we would ever have something as daring and artistic as Not Your Mother in our national final

 

[Iker]

Looks like semifinal 2 will be the bloodbath

I wouldn't say so but it looks stronger for sure when it comes to perceived quality by me. At least Lolita Zero is in the SF1.

How many songs qualify from each semi to the final?

 

[njdevils94]

Yeah they flipped the semis from what I originally posted so Semi 2 is actually Semi 1. Mimmon has it correct.

I wouldn't say so but it looks stronger for sure when it comes to perceived quality by me. At least Lolita Zero is in the SF1.

How many songs qualify from each semi to the final?

4 songs from each semi make the final.
