Lithuania LITHUANIA 2023 - Monika Linkytė - Stay

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[Kairit]

Really underrated in my opinion... It's just lovely, genuine and heartfelt and the lyrics are really beautiful and bittersweet. Her vocals are flawless as well. Juries should rate it well, so I hope she makes it through to the final and I'm glad she's back with her own music. Po dangum, her biggest song, has always been one of the most emotionally resonant/strangely compelling songs to me both musically and lyrically about existential depression and inexplicable sadness and comforted me a lot in the past, this one has a similar effect.

 

[PollyWantsACracker]

I haven't changed my position on this even after I had seen her lives at pre-parties that have been perfect, better say outstanding.

The song is simply is in the same niche with Estonia or Iceland or Greece or Cyprus delivering strong vocalists over repetitive, generic, bland, ESC tailor made songs, with zero potential to motivate me to pick up the phone and vote for any of them. Regardless of their amazing vocalists.

Also, I'm very petty, and I can't forgive her the rip off of Kings of Leon.

 

[Iker]

Ok the lyrics are great.

The lyrics and the quality of the vocals is top-notch. It's a pity that the composition itself is musically so unremarkable for me.

 

[SpiritofKeiino]

Her singing is lovely, I don't like the song though, too bland for me.

I've never understood why Lithuania does so much better in our televote than say Latvia or Poland. There are large diasporas from those countries in Ireland also.

Happpens in the uk too, I think Lithuanian immigrants just care about Eurovision more than polish ones

I wouldn't be surprised if this one pulls a Portugal 2022 and ends up in the juries Top 5.

 

[JenJen94]

Personally I think it's a really nice song, but for me doesn't stand out like some of the others!

Its still getting our televote 12 though lol

And probably ours in the UK too tbh, or will do well at least I think

I just had a listen through Spotify, where the song has been changed so she's constantly singing 'my heart is beating, my heart is beating, my heart is beating, my heart is beating...' is that the plan for ESC? I mean, it felt repetitive before too, but at least it had that "foreign flair" when it was in Lithuanian.
If they are planning on changing it to English, I fear they just worsened their odds of qualification.

You are listening to the original version the version she performed in the final of Pabandom is Naujo (the one that has been played at every performance since) is has Cito Tuto in capital letters after it

Uh... it's the one on the official ESC playlist I listened to.

Yeah theyve used the outdated one for whatever reason

 

[Betwixt Tales]

Ah, okay. That is a little uplifting.

 

[Iker]

BTW. That new song of Monika Liu (Kodėl tu čia?) is great.

It would mean for me that the juries are lame.
And I don't think this will be the case.

 

[Citelis]

Her singing is really perfect, the song is so lovely and the whole entry is so charming. Can't see why she doesn't deserve a high place with juries.

Album is out in three weeks

 

[Eidechse]

So, Monika Liu sold her vowel for a lot of cheaper letters. Are the maintenance costs for the U so high in Lithuania?
