Lithuania LITHUANIA 2023 - Monika Linkytė - Stay

[ESC United Mod Team]

He wasn't last with any of them? What are you talking about.

Ah, my bad... it was a long day.. and I thought that were awarded to the last place
I probably erased two entries from that national final but you´re right... there were 10 contestants.

Anonymous Jury results from the final. Monika Linkytė won the jury by 9 points. Juror #5 really tanked Beatrich.

It'd be so funny if the numbers correspond to the way they were seated during the show.

I claim Nr.5 for Monika Lui. Only she has enough taste to tank Beatrich and 12 Ruta

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

The more I listen to this song, the more I smell NQ for Lithuania this year... So sorry...

 

[Realest]

More 0s than 12s..
Wondering how Beatrichs Poll would have looked like..

 

[Fluke]

One of the worst, and blandest songs so far. This is like those Maltese, Moldovan and whatever entries from recent years everyone hates so much they end up changing entry, usually to something even worse. Yeah, skilled vocals, but impersonal and showy. Absolute dead cold zero from me.

I had to switch to 1 point. I'm sorry but I just don't like the chorus. It's a bit annoying. I think the song has some good elements that would turn it into a cute Eurovision ballad. But the chorus (mostly the first chorus) ruins it for me. In my opinion she should try to revamp the song. Just my opinion but it would be better if the first chorus stays slow, then as the second verse starts a beat starts to play in the background, short pause and the second chorus kicks in mid/uptempo style. I just feel like the song is too monotonous.

She could also change the song. It should become normalized imo. It's a competition after all and for many artists a bad result can hurt their career. If I was an artist and my song got bad reviews and was low in the polls I would either revamp it or change it completely and play the game.

There is something to the word "pusfinalis" ...

Well said! It starts as a nice piano ballad, but as the first chorus hits, the song gets really annoying. Maybe yeah, the first chorus should be more "soft" and the transitions between different parts more smooth. That would work imo.
But yeah, it's easy to criticize afterwards, the fandom should organize their own song camps I strongly believe that we all together would produce the ultimate "perfect" Eurovision song, no doubt!

Then the eventual outcome would certainly be pretty bad!

Then the eventual outcome would certainly be pretty bad!

Well, we'd start with something easy, for example mixing Mama ŠČ with Amar Pelos Dois

I think I know now why I love this song THAT much. It’s quite cheesy and I don’t expect anyone else to, but I lost my grandma on Christmas Eve last year and the chorus roughly translates to what I think when I think of her. The rest of the lyrics also fits in a way I don’t feel comfortable discussing on the Internet right now, but it explains why I keep coming back to this song. It might be quite generic in a lot of people‘s books and probably truthfully so, but it helps me understand my own thoughts better and for that I am grateful. No matter how this does, I am glad I found it through the Eurovision season.

I had a lithuanian cherry beer the other day and it was so good that I nearly forgave Lithuania for Pabandom is naujo having a tiebreaker decided by jury, not that stay is in anyway bad its just a jury tiebreaker has left a bad taste in my mouth and its not cherry beer

The more I listen to this song, the more I smell NQ for Lithuania this year... So sorry...

Lithuania is in a friendly semifinal though with UK in it and guaranteed points therefore already at the start. And only 6 countries get eliminated from it.

If there were juries in the semifinal then I'd be 90% compelled they'd make it as juries sadly lap this stuff up typically but as there are not then I give 70% of a chance.

 

[rasmuslights]

Nah this is qualifying with ease. I preferred Petunija, Beatrich and even Ruta but there's something really wholesome about this song and performance. Not to mention Monika's cute personality and amazing vocals that are very reliable.

Won't be top 5 in the semi but I can't see it NQ.

 

[MopManMoss]

The revamp is on spotify now by the way

 

[crashworld]

My second toiletbreak for the season. Basically what I said for Estonia's entry is replicated here. Another .

 

[grazy2266]

Nothing to write home about, however its in the easy semi final so you never know.

 

[randajad]

I grew to like this quite a bit and it would be cool to see her doing well.

 

[GermanBango]

Honestly this might be my fave so far this year. Really resonates with me.
