Lithuania LITHUANIA 2023 - Monika Linkytė - Stay

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[Milos-BC]

As I said earlier, a potential dark horse. She was more convincing on the NF but this was also a very good performance. I expect a top 15 finish.

If she's not high with juries, I really won't understand.

I see no dark horse here. It's going to have some chops in granny vote demographic so televote is not dead and yeah juries will have liked this, so top 15 seems fair enough. Dark horse however means it can win. It has no path to get the televotes required. If we are extremely generous and give Lithuania a 100 point gap on Loreen after juries this will still evaporate.

Heartwarming song and performance, best of luck Lithuania

 

[GermanBango]

11th place!!! Wow so happy for Monika.

 

[NeoTen]

So happy for my favorite song of the year, but little bit sad she chose to sing that last chorus without that run. Prob could've had got top 10, urge the broadcaster to send more of this. Well at least us lovers of this song can continue to sing this song alone (or in Church now that I think about it) and not let every DJ ruin it.

 

[GermanBango]

I'm still so incredibly happy over her great result. Found myself jumping up and down every time she got points during the jury segment.

 

[Realest]

has to be the next First Time Winner (or Moldova).

Very decent result for Monika, happy for her! Whilst the song wasn't my favourite (Do like it, it's ok), I did enjoy her performance last night, and she has a lovely voice.

It feels good that she somehow "corrected" her ESC experience from the first time. Like Poli Genova and Sunstroke Project (and Marco Mengoni for that matter) she was better than the first time! And she was so happy when she saw the big jump her few televoting points did on the scoreboard. One of the only few nice moments during the televoting section as most of the other singers just liked underwhelmed or tired. She bascially just missed out of top 10, a fantastic result for her. I have to say I didn't care for the song much but there was a user here who wrote that they had to cry seeing her semiperformance and I think a lof of people were maybe touched like that?

12 points from diaspora in the UK semi public vote… again.

 

[JenJen94]

I thought it was 10? 12 To Finland, 10 to Lithuania, 8 to Poland.

But I'm not really surprised at all! Diaspora voting in the masses, happens pretty much every year here doesn't it?

 

[Realest]

Wondering how Beatrich and Ruta would have done..

 

[hjarnskakning]

every single year there's a song that caughts me off guard and make me burst into tears during the show - this year's trophy is in Lithuania's hands, loved the performance so much

 

[rasmuslights]

Wondering how Beatrich and Ruta would have done..

basically would've gotten less than 10 points without the diaspora and neighbourly voting.

 

[ESC94]

No points from this year?? That´s really surprising.

 

[rasmuslights]

No points from this year?? That´s really surprising.

that's true...

Forgot to post this during Eurovision week but Monika wore an iconic t-shirt during the afternoon dress rehearsal flag parade before the grand final jury show.

Honestly this song feels like it was from Coco. 10/10
