[ESC United Mod Team]

I thought it was supposed to resemble the beating sound of the heart. Which would be cute but not very original. We‘ve heard that a few times at Eurovision.

 

[jatojo]

Okay, so maybe I was a bit harsh on this one, as I gave it a 4 some weeks ago. She does sing well, and there is no obvious mistakes in it. But it's like with Iceland's entry and Eline Thorp's song in Norway's contest - they just don't have that extra thing to maintain my attention.

Anyway, I'll change it to 5. (And now I can see that 5 is the most given score for this song so it all makes sense.)

 

[TiagoFS]

Good, but as I said in Norway this is very generic. 6 pts.

 

[MopManMoss]

Just watched a wiwi interview with her at the Barcelona pre party and shes got a kind of british accent from living in the uk for 8 years, miss worldwide

 

[ayzelto]

For me this was the biggest grower. What a voice! Always on tune, absolute perfection. She’s back in my top 10. She will qualify and be close to the top 10 I think.

Lithuania is the true dark horse this year. I was jaded post NF, but this has top 10 in jury on lock.

The second most terrible ballad this year also comes from the Baltics. Monika has a nicer voice, but the song is utterly generic and soulless and so is her singing. STAAAAAYYYYY .... go home, please. She is also a fan of dirty tricks. In 2015, she coalesced for a duo, to get her competition out of the way, and this year she blows the whistle for the Lithuanian diaspora.

Lithuania have sent great songs in recent years since 2018, but this lady and her entry actually piss me off tbh.

 

[SpiritofKeiino]

Great voice, bland boring song. I think it'll probably qualify

 

[ayzelto]

These vocals are so good. She elevates the song so much! As an act, Lithuania is one of my favourites this year

oh even if for a joke it's not that deep lmao. if anything who's a fan of the dirty tricks it was the broadcaster who suggested she joined Vaidas Baumila for a duet, thus overshadowing the competition for Mia who already lost the NF final a year prior. and the juries who kept urging Monika to overload the song with "čiūto tūto"; and treated her more like a "professional" in the final ahead Rūta MUR who probably had the most actual complete package for Eurovision.

it's not her playing into her strenghts out of her intuition to do so, it's her being told what to do, fight the real enemy lol!

What did you think about Ruta Mūr and her song? I thought that one was excellent. While this is I supposed merely "ok".

Rita who?

 

[MopManMoss]

Rita who?

The real winner of pabandom is naujo wash your mouth out

 

[jatojo]

Isn't Ruta Mur like a B side of a Pulp record?

 

[12Points]

Quite growing on me, what a lovely song

 

[Ezio]

The real winner of pabandom is naujo wash your mouth out

I don’t know what padadaboom is now wash your mouth out is

 

[MopManMoss]

I don’t know what padadaboom is now wash your mouth out is

the best mouthwash in all of lietuva

 

[Ezio]

I thought it's Vodka or Slivovitz

 

[AndroZeus]

The song sucks, but her vocals are shelf stable, which is more than can be said for a lot of this year's contestants.

 

[Chorizo]

A nice song, which would make for a suitable filler between two ballads. 5 points.
