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

So happy for Monika. I was so afraid she could get forgotten but I'm so relieved. She deserved it.

 

[Ana Raquel]

Her Q was the relief of the night so glad she made it after all

 

[shameless]

I think its so great that she made it, as all of you I was getting worried because the stage and camera didn't do her performance justice. I hope she'll get a got draw, this woman is really fascinating.

 

[Citelis]

She was amazing! It would be big injustice not to qualify because of the camera or the difficult running order.

 

[lavieenrose]

AND ANOTHER THING

She had a historically bad running order slot but instead used the fact that the crowd was still hyped to guide the audience and carry some energy through the strange, low-key, inaccessible start of her song and carry it through into the big finish. That is making lemonade from lemons. That is working with a roadblock. THAT is queen shit.

 

[Datura]

i was always wondering why this was so low in the odds, i actually thought shes a definite qualifiert... i'm pretty sure she did very well (especially) with the juries, i see her in the top5 of the semi. and rightfully so, it was a class song and performance

 

[RainyWoods]

In celebration of Monika's dazzling performance and her delightful qualification I've decided to upgrade my 10 points given here to points. A final of a Eurovision being held in Italy without Sentimentai would have been criminal activity. I was honestly super worried for Monika even after the charming, wonderfully hypnotic performance she treated us to. Something still in my head was like "oh Europe is gonna do you dirty" but thankfully they didn't. I'm super thrilled and can't wait to support Lithuania in the final with some votes.

 

[jatojo]

There are many good things to say about HER. But the chorus is so boring - I get irritated by it.

 

[PolarFoxxie.]

Monica with her Ukrainian flag. Ohhh well, congrats. This is a weaker semifinal anyway.

 

[harey]

I didn't sleep, my alarm was ready, I voted 3 times for Monika and saw a French girl posting a screenshot of her 3 votes for Lithuania, it was funny. (It's possible she got points from French televote because only esc fans watch and vote in semis here.)

When Switzerland took the 1st spot I was so sad because I thought she wouldn't make it. I'm so happy!

 

[rasabasa]

Monica with her Ukrainian flag. Ohhh well, congrats. This is a weaker semifinal anyway.

The butthurt is strong here. No need to drag down our performance just because yours failed.

 

[Tuna]

NF performance was better (camera angles), love the glitter lights, but I still be happy for her qualification !! Such classy and elegant woman

 

[rasabasa]

She seemed stiff during the performance. The poor camera work didn't help either. Maybe it was the nerves because she wanted to qualify really badly. Hoping for a more relaxed performance on Saturday because she's not concerned about her ranking.

 

[PolarFoxxie.]

The butthurt is strong here. No need to drag down our performance just because yours failed.

My faves are in stronger semi tomorrow.

 

[AlekS]

The butthurt is strong here. No need to drag down our performance just because yours failed.

Its fave is Australia. Judging from its hysteria in Ukrainian thread, I imagine all the squeals and snots it will produce when Australia won't qualify.

 

[AlekS]

My 4th fave of the night. Typical Baltic sound from the 80's. Thought it would be loved mainly by older generation, but younger audience likes her too.

 

[ESC94]

I´m still not a big fan of the song but I have to admit that the performance looked really good on screen, very elegant and likable.

 

[gingerale]

Was so happy with her and the result because the rehearsal reaction were not that good (kind of splitting hairs tbh.)

She also had one of the best workarounds in case of stage use.

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

I was worried before the semi, because someone here said the staging and the camera work would have butchered her possibilities, but I'm so, so glad it didn't happened. Actually, the staging they choose is not that bad, the camera angles otherwise were a little messy and they still could improve before the Grand Finale. Monika's performance was stunning and delicious, as always!

 

[Bobjan FR]

I never doubt of her going in final, until yesterday when i saw the odds not growing at all. anyway, i decided to bet she was going to be in final, and i was right ! (But i was wrong on a lot of the others lol)


I bet as well she was in the top 10 of jury and public, let's wait the 15 to see.
