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

Props to how she wiggles her fingers at the precise length so that in the spots where they split and flip half the screen her fingers touch those of her reflection without going deeper and 'merging' with herself. The movements look natural, but it actually requires some precise positioning to pull off.

I don't know what happened, this happens very rarely but I'm upgrading from to
Now I can see the vibe she's trying to channel with this song.
If she wears an hat and smokes a long cigarette on stage, I'm upgrading to 12

Apart from 2021 the best entry Lithuania has sent im years! If not decades!

 

[Phoenix]

The way this sassy queen bewitched everyone I think it's the bowl cut tbh, without it she could end up Katy Perry Witness'd I fear.

 

[Iker]

Btw. I find the other song of Monika Liu called 'Tiek Jau To' even better than 'Sentimentai' and I love Sentimentai. When that soaring chorus finally hits I am overwhelmed in a state of wonder.

I gave it a spin and you are right, it's really good on first listen. I'm a sucker for that eerie cinematic sound (Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain album comes to mind). Thx

 

[Lance Esgard]

I also recommend giving her song Amžinai Toli a try. It's got a mesmerising rhythm to go with the atmospheric vocals.

 

[astatine86]

I... do not now how I could have missed it! It's so classy and mesmerising! A 10.

She looks like a weirdo and the song is just noice. Lithuanian is a ugly language.

Guys I'm so sorry but I had to do it

I've been listening to this song so much (if it wasn't a from the go it would be now) but this imagery never left my mind.

 

[MopManMoss]

Every single part of what you have said is just unnecessarily rude, you dont have to like everything obviously but why do you need to call her ugly or insult an entire language

 

[12Pointsgoto.....]

Imagine not being able to give constructive advice and having to insult a persons appearance and image, as well as an entire language.

This is the type of song I can imagine to rank highly as a juror, but tend to forget as a casual viewer.

And I think exactly this will happen with this entry. Might be comparable to last years results from Bulgaria/Portugal/Belgium.

Will qualify strongly for the final: good juryscore, some televotes. But in the final: decent juryscore, meh televotes. Place 15-20 or something.

I really hope it won't but i won't be suprised if this happens

Personally, I could see it getting a televote score similar to Slovenia 2019. They came 11th with 59 points in the televote.

So, a relatively good televote but nothing crazy either.

She's such an adorable little acorn I love her

ps Queen of not knowing Keiino

My review:

One of the nicest entries this year, it really sets its own mood and the use of Lithuanian language really helps here. I am afraid of what the juries will do here, but if performed right it could do decent across-the-board. It's sensual and quirky at the same time, and somehow the old school sound in a modern package works well here.

Best one in Barcelona. She's such a captivating performer and so good with the crowd

This morning I decided to give my impressions of the Barcelona Pre Party 2022 and the singers who performed there.

Aside from the fact that the Pre Party stage wasn't great (it's something that can be accepted in a pre-contest), I personally found the sound system terrible. The amateur quality audio did not help the singers express themselves at their best nor did the public enjoy the songs as best they could.

The Pre Party was interesting because, as I expressed in the San Marino thread, it shows the strengths and weaknesses of the singers and their songs.

These opening lines will be the same for all pre-party attendee threads. It's a kind of preface.

Now let's talk about Monika Liu and "Sentimentai". The performance was exceptional, as a true high-level artist, as classy as her song. Monika's voice, as always, was sweet and full of delicate nuances; her sinuous and seductive movements and her enveloping "sophisticated energy". Monika is a singer of great charm, compared to the tigers Ronela and Chanel, she is a fawn with sweet eyes that makes men want to hug and protect her I open a parenthesis, I don't understand why the Lithuanian singer has not yet been nominated in the Eurovision Song Contest Hot singers thread! Ok... back to the Pre Party, it seems to me that, again if I'm not mistaken, that Monika's performance made the public want to hum "Sentimentai". This is very promising for me. In Turin, I'm sure Monika will hypnotize the public. I feel like bowing to Lithuania which, after the success of The Roop, has made a courageous choice. "Sentimentai" is the answer from a music scene that can look the big music markets in the eye without fear.

Anyway, why did Lithuania and Latvia dominate the Pre Party? Because, compared to the others, music has won: singing and instruments. When singers decide to make music without too much experimentation, the results are always satisfactory.
