She may not win, but if she reaches the final there is a potential audience for this music, I'm sure. Also, she oozes charm.

I totally agree with this comment. And I love this song… even though Lolita Zero would have been more memorable, this is classy. I think it’ll place higher than “Wrong Place”. It’s got a James Bond theme song vibe to it.

Only thing that wasn't mature about Belgium was that guy who tried to boycott all the group Eurovision moments.
Monika is one of the most interesting artists I’ve came across recently, she’s got a lovely charisma about her, childlike silliness but mature and graceful at the same time. Not to mention a voice like melted chocolate that I can never tire of… I’m in awe of her she’s so cool
"It feels adult." I think this is the best description about this song if you can say only 1 thing.
For me is the Winner of everything this Eurovision year!!!

Your comments are fantastic. Monika is an artist, not everyone is going to be at awe of her but no one can deny her talents. I personally love a singer who can act - it's the full package, you know? She tells a story on stage. I hope she will be appreciated as the gem she is.

I'm crying. Winner of Eurovision 2022 or top 5 in the final. This is wonderful, gold and professional. She looks like performance from The Oscars. She is singing about the feeling about sentiments, love, which will never come back from The Baltic sea and see birds and wawing to them... Lyrics are very good. Lithuanian language is very beautiful. By the way, she finished Barcley at United States :) The song is written by Monika Liu and Miles James from UK. It is modern and unique and reminds me old style in Lithuania songs 70 s and very jazzy.

She said staging for Eurovision will be changed.. So let's she what she will bring, but she is definitely so classy and elegant ✨✨ Currently she's at my second spot right after Italy..
All countries want to win Eurovision Song Contest this year
I love this so much! Her performance is mesmerizing. Even though not a lot is happening on stage, you can't take your eyes off her. I am so happy that The Roop was not just an exception for Lithuania. They'll continue to slay at the ESC!
It saddens me that eurofans (predictably) underrate this entry 😭

I love this entry. I wasn’t sure when I heard it but when you see it live, she really brings it to life. Plus she’s magnetic, she draws the eye to her. It’s currently one of my favourites. I find it reminding me of some 70s/80s Soviet era music, which is interesting.
Thats what i call good and constructive reaction, others should learn from you how to do this properly
The fact that i like it soo much already and she said she will change EVERYTHING in Turin is just 🔥💯🔥
i really hope this will somehow finally get to the audiences too... it deserves to be very high, it's so elevated and exquisite in esthetic
Love this and her. She has said she is completely changing the staging for Eurovision and that she would like to move more on the ESC stage.
This is a winner potential alesia dont be afraid to say it hahaha even eurovision public doesnt see it right know I know that doesnt exist a big vocal moment But the vibe of this song is suvh fenomenal The really sound of beauty Omg we have the winner of eurovision 2022
I really like this, it’s so classy. Very excited to see her new staging (as she said she is going to change it all for the Eurovision stage)
Queen. I love everything about this. My fav so far
Nice reaction! Thanks. Kiss from Klaipėda, Lithuania! :) *
She is lithuanian Adele, very pro 💖
So good! With the Roop last year and this for 2022, makes me wonder if Lithuania is becoming an Eurovision force to be reckoned with. This is really well done and it will definitely stand out from the crowd. I'm certain this will qualify and end up left side of the scoreboard.
What a performer, she really elevates an already good song. It's retro in a good way, jazzy, polished, elegant, and it's going to do well. Great reaction as usual Alesia ❤️

Can't understand a lick of it (without help from our collective friend, Google Translate) but because she's so mesmerizing and hypnotic you really don't care. I totally agree about winner potential... Love the retro 70's vibes... Cool, crisp, sexy and slinky... Kinda what Kylie Minogue's last and next album should sound like... Keep up the good commentary, btw! Love from Canada!
I'm Lithuanian. This verry classy song. You have to interpret the lyrics to understand the song. Knock knock knock - she can't sleep, thinking about him. Her heart rate is crazy. She sees a loved one in horror sleep. He is like a clown laughing at her crying yes. Moments are spinning in her head, She remebers a gift of million roses - everything vanishes in a sea of clouds. He drowned. The only thing that remains of him is BLACK FOAM from the COLD sea and MEMORIES standing in the middle of dunes of Nida and waiving to a seagull so far, far away...

Love this! So classy and elegant. Pure quality singing with the mysterious 1950s spirit haunting 21st century woman at night vibe. A little bit more changes in staging and adding a climax would really help to elevate this. But as the singer said: everything will be changed, she pulled this off alone without a team! ♥️🇱🇹

Thanks for amazing reaction! If you want to see more of Monika I suggest to check out Monika Liu - Tiek jau to (Live) (Sapiens Music). Such an amazing voice!
I love her song and performance already. I want her to be appreciated enough at ESC and this IS full package for me like Chanel but different. slight improvements at staging and this gem will be pearl in the crown. I would love to see how lights on the stage are playing around her , while she is singing in the center point of the stage. I would love to see small break when the backup singers are singing and she interacts with audience (or dancer/dancers). Personally , I think she needs to be exposed , she should be center of the stage , and things should be happening around her. I would love to see her emerging from the bottom of the stage on round spiral stairs but I am not sure if this is even possible and if this is even good idea.
I love it honestly. It is giving me fun, old-timey spy movie 1970s retro. Her ad libs with the mic are fun. Her stage presence is crazy good. She seems to captivate you because she is just having fun on stage.

Sentiments Knock knock knock At night is knocking at my heart Full of longing Accompanied by memories A ghost You, it's you, it's you A face seen long ago Why are you laughing like a clown At my shining eyes? Moments are spinning in a circle in my head, they're running where you are A million roses like sentiments are drowning in the sea of clouds Ah... Restless sea is rustling I have tears in my eyes That's it - he's never gonna come back He arrived as a black foam* I remember how I'm standing in the middle of dunes of Nida and waiving to a seagull so far, far away... Moments are spinning in a circle in my head they're running where you are A million roses like sentiments are drowning in the sea of clouds
Ačiū🥰
Gowns… beautiful gowns.
@Alesia Michelle your intuition is correct about the jazzy feeling. Monika studied Jazz and Vocal at Berklee College.
I understand what you say about an electro revamp , that would give a stronger Portishead vibe. I wish it touched a bit of FKA Twigs territory. That elevated current trip hop vibe would be a certifed qualifier.
It's like Salvador Sobral Portugal 2017,and Barbara Pravi France 2021

It is nothing like them. I don't even compare Barbara and Salvador as they have very different styles. Not every ballad is in the same genre as the other. But this one does not reach the quality of Barbara and Salvador.

YES... but honestly I think this will be more a Hooverphonic moment. Not so much a surprise but a track for the grown ups.

The mirroring part is very 70s retro. In Eastern Europe terms maybe it relates to that period more.
Hey Alesia, love your reactions! Will you be reviewing the American Song Contest?!
"i have one note"... Exactly its a little ONE NOTE. I love it, but it needs a couple changes to make it pop and the last third needs more energy. Totally agree on the electro sounds too.... Ill say i would mind a wet Hairstyle to update the look
Relaxs.
Let's hope she gets a good position to sing in the semifinals so this song won't drown between to upbeat songs. The best would be if she sings last in the semifinal just before the televoting starts but I guess that's a bit much to ask for.
Más 924 is the designer of the dress ;)

“Lithuanian marathon”? Excuse me? There are overall 6 shows since 2020 when we changed our format, the same amount of shows like Melodifestivalen. Last year it was even shorter. Due to less songs submitted and covid restrictions
some sounds remind me of James Bond movie soundtracks from 1962 (Dr. No)
l'm not that keen o this one but i guess that's a matter of personal tastes but she translates the song very well by the styling and setting making you believe she's singing this wondering about the jazz clubs around the word.
That style is spooky disco
😍 I hope this song qualify to the final but I doubt 🙄😬

Monika Liu - Vaikinai trumpais šortais
Here's a rough translation for the non-native speakers, It's a shame english doesn't do the song justice: Tuk, tuk-tuk Knocking in the night on my heart Full of longing Accompanied by memories Spirit You, It‘s you, it‘s you Oh long seen face Why are you laughing like a clown At my glittering eyes? Moments are going round in my head Running, running to the place you are A million roses like sentiments Drowning in a sea of clouds The restless sea is raging There are tears in my eyes That‘s it, he will never be back He returned as black foam I remember standing in the middle of Nida‘s dunes And waving to a seagull Far, far away Moments are going round in my head Running, running to the place you are A million roses like sentiments Drowning in a sea of clouds
She reminds me of Liza Minelli, maybe it's the styling.
