Lithuania LITHUANIA 2023 - Monika Linkytė - Stay

[ESC United Mod Team]

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

I'd think the K and Y were way more expensive! But I'm no expert in Lithuanian economics.

Ok, so she made some coins.

Liu is shortened for the stage, her full surname is Liubinaitė

Her 1944 cover is so so good.

Her 1944 cover is so so good.

Yes, she puts her own spin on it and adds a few Čiūto tūtos to it in the middle. Obviously her voice is very different from Jamala but still a very nice cover I thought.

I am once again here to say - jury dark horse. And with 's decent televote pull Stay could be top 10.

 

[Wynnter]

I do find this song quite beautiful, actually. Only problem is that it doesn't do much beyond the chanting, which sounds good, but it isn't enough on its own to carry this song higher. And I enjoy the instrumentals of the pre-chorus and stuff, but that's pretty much it. It's a good song in the moment, but not something that you would care about that much afterwards.

Final score: points

Lithuania is sure to be in the running for coolest postcard of the year. Monika is doing martial arts specifically the discipline of Muay Thai inside Trakai Island castle.

This has grown on me a lot recently. A gentle song complimented with a strong voice mixed with that vulnerability.

 

[gingerale]

Lithuania just entered my Top 5. It was a long and winding road.

 

[Charly]

I must say Monika has been amazing!

 

[Milos-BC]

This song isn't really among my main favorites but it definitely has "something" in it that keeps me interested. Certainly a dark horse of the year.

5 points.

 

[GermanBango]

Really the only song I care for tomorrow. Let’s gooooo Monika!

 

[NeoTen]

My favorite song of this year. It oozes power, the staging is so cute, and it is sung like a friendly camp song. IF this doesn't Q, I'm gonna sob in a corner.

 

[GermanBango]

I died. So happy she went through!

 

[Citelis]

Absolutely loved her!

 

[Loindici]

I've posted it on the rehearsals thread, but I'll post it here, too

I just watched the Lithuania reupload. At first I just feel this is a nice performance. Stay was supposed to be "a song for your loved ones", that what they're saying, right?

But later I realized, everytime Monika looked up, it was meant for God, I started crying at the final chant. I rewinded the performance, and with that new meaning, the words really hit different.

At the time I'm writing this I'm still crying, thinking about the words in that song. How beautiful it is to hear, when I need it most.

Never in my life I've ever cried at a Eurovision performance. This is the first one.

Thank you, Monika. Thank you, Lithuania. Ciuto Tuto.
