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

This is beautiful, this is elegance, that fits well to this year's slogan : "The Sound of Beauty"

for now, and it has the potential to grow during the next weeks.

I actually like this, her performance elevated a song that otherwise would be just ok in studio version. I’m happy that Lithuanian language got another chance to shine after many years.

So not my taste, sorry but you are not my mother...
Toilet break number 1.

I currently have this as my first place, but I'm not fully convinced by the live performance. I think she had her best performance in her heat and then she got progressively worse during the semi and then the final. I can see this falling down in my ranking as we approach the Eurovision week, but hopefully she will have an interesting performance and climb again, if she doesn't add any interesting visual elements to the performance I think she may not qualify.

this was the televote winner? the lack of flavour

 

[MAD20]

4 points for now. Hope next year Ruta Loop keeps trying with another mesmerizing song, I'm so sad for her...

 

[Synergise]

As someone that really quite liked both Monika and Lolita, I was pretty confident I'd be happy with the result.
Her final performance was a bit of a downgrade from the semi in my opinion, whereas Lolita really elevated further, so Lolita would have been my choice in the end. Still a good choice though, and I'm pretty confident this can qualify.

 

[BorisBubbles]

It's a huge grower for me. points, maybe upgrading to a 10 later.

 

[0scar]

I like this a lot, it's cool and mesmerizing. A from me.

 

[A-lister]

And whatever you do, no translation, no bi-lingual mess, keep the mysticism alive!

 

[mira_lumen]

I can't imagine this song being successfully performed on the big stage...

 

[Jonkonfui]

I love this song, which usually it is not a good thing result-wise, but i love it anyway. And I love the language also. 10 points.

There is a moment in the song when she speaks and says something about Italy (or a word that sounds like 'Italy' to me). What does she say?.
After listening to other songs from different countries I change my vote and I give 12 points to Lithuania.

Because its her performance after winning, she gets loose, and when the lyrics "Sukasi ratu galvoje momentai, Bėga bėga ten, kur ir tu/ Moments are spinning in my head, they are running there, where you are" comes, she adds "running to Italy". Have a great day

I dont get why Neither Youtube nor the Betting Odds are hyped for this Entry.
Both Forums are the only Places where this Entry is pretty popular.

Lithuanian entries are always underrated, and when we make the finals, they all are surprised lol

Well, sadly I don´t get sentimental while listening to this song. I really like it that dares to sing in their language again after such a long time and I also like her voice, but sadly the song itself is just a bit to linear and uneventful for me. I got kinda bored after one minute already.

Nevertheless it´s one of the better entries from and I still give it , it´s ok but I simply can´t share the excitement many other users have.

For me it is very exciting, I love the chorus. I just can't help myself but do a little hip swinging and sing that sexy part! In 3/4 of cases you get some hollering loud howling in the chorus that in 1/2 od cases comes across as ungainly.

The melody is lovely and catchy for me, the vocals and arrangements very different than usually at the ESC and crisp, features a lot of little 'zests' hidden here or there, I don't see It as linear then. But I am aware that not everyone will really catch those or perceive those as pleasant. It is as a whole very unique in the Eurovision context. I am like in heaven throughout and for a good while after.

@Iker

Well good for you, I feel still very down to earth when I listen to it.

I didn´t even say the song is bad, I just think that some other chosen songs are better.
