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

I expose myself saying this could become my favourite Lithuanian entry in the contest ever, because I really, really love it. Usually I don't listen to this genre of music, but I'm into it for some reasons. I find her charisma, stage presence and performance really captivating, I like how relaxed the song flows through her voice, it's really well produced and executed.

 

[Jonkonfui]

I love this song because it sounds and feel unpretentious and natural. Most of the songs are trying so hard to sell an image or being emotional. I think most people go for mirages.

 

[ESCREGION]

Sorry Lithuania not my cup of tea.

[Mainshow]

The studio version of the song is great as well. This doesn´t need a revamp at all.

It was a good idea to include English subtitles for the official video, imo.

 

[Mrm]

The official video is DIVINE..

 

[PollyWantsACracker]

I'm feeling this as Lithuania pretending to be France. Because they assume if Pravi outfrenched herself last year and got top 5, that would be a successful formula for this year.

A generic non-distinctive forgettable melody, I give it a 3 for her lovely vocal only.

 

[Adrian]

No but this is really really good. In my eyes the best Lithuanian entry ever 12 Points

 

[lavieenrose]

I don't think I'll surprise anyone by saying that I am all in on this song. What an entrancing, uncanny vibe it has.

12 points.

This just proves, that you know nothing about music. Check out Monika's music. She has this style since forever, she's very unique and isn't trying to copy someone else. I guess yeah, you can say that there's similar vintage sound to it, but after all both Barbara and Monika are very different. Very. Good day sir

The knowledge of music doesn't include the duty of knowing every Lithuanian artist, but ability to recognize musical style, composition, instruments and vocalization techinque irrespective of whether you know a specific song or artist. That's actually how schools of music conduct tests and grade students in theory of music.

As we both agree that she belongs to the musical style created in the French 20's, I guess you proved my point. The only point of disagreement here is that you think everybody should like what you like, no matter how many times we heard the same thing (and are tired of it). Merci beaucoup, madame.

Oof. This is professional's opinion about music and lyrics. https://youtu.be/vNK1RU7VQlM
How can you say she's copying French and don't give a reasonable arguments apart from "vintage vibe".

This is by far the dumbest comment of the year, congrats!
I believe Monika's great-aunt Stasė Laurinaitytė
who's been singing in this style way before Barbara was even born is spinning in her grave right now.

Thank you for expert comment on my intelligence, you've been trully kind, respectful and objective.

 

[hijirio]

This is not my cup of tea at all, but I can totally see her finishing in top 10 to my shock (like Portugal did last year)

 

[hijirio]

Ahhhhh and Lolita Zero...................... I'll never recover from this tragedy. The final performance screamed hijirio's #1 of the whole season.

I will forever grieve for this loss.

Anyways, good luck to Monika Liu.........................................................

 

[Iker]

I vastly prefer the way Monika performed her song in the heat or in the SF over the Final performance. I disliked those huge backdrops with Monika (kept distracting me) and her standing backwards for a significant portion of it reminded me Ann-Sophie from Germany Eurovision performance which is not a good thing at all, even that golden colour palette was the same. And the vocals were bit worse than previously as well.

I need more focus on the singer and tighter camera angles. That eventual experiment was ill-conceived IMHO. Hopefully this is not what they're going to do at the actual Eurovision.

 

[Etanna]

I didn't really care for the song in the studio version but the live performance is truly captivating. In addition, I absolutely love the use of the Lithuanian language - it works so well in this type of song I'm expecting the juries to reward Monika's performance with a lot of points

 

[Adrian]

The more I listen to this, the more I love it! Monika is now 2nd in my rankings

 

[Mrm]

After 19 chosen entries, still my no1.. Let's see what happens next..
