Lithuania 2023: Monika Linkytė - Stay

[VoR]

The most demented slog of all the national selections is BACK BACK BACK

First heat tonight was won by this quite lovely 80s synth ballad.



Second and third:




Sadly, poor perennial wannabe Aiste was not like woooolf tonight and this rather tragic ballad crashed and burned with just 207 televotes TOTAL

 

[Ill Advised]

Big yes to So Low!

 

[Penelope]

Quite like So Low, but obviously it'd be DOOMED ON ARRIVAL if it got the Liverpudlian nod.

 

[win_the_game]

Quite like that Alison Moyet tribute.

 

[FetchFugly]

LOVELY SYNTHS

Not quite following the telephone box, cowboy hat, taunting rollerskaters or gay angel wings, but SEND MUR

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

I’m not sure that I ever want to hear So Low again. Maybe a nude-effect dress would cheer it up

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

Alen Chicco certainly serving up EXCITING FASHIONS. Honestly Lithuanians are clearly ENTIRELY MENTAL

I’m not sure I ever want to hear that again either but SEND THAT!

 

[Lucille]

WHAT IS that alluring FABRIC she has on? I’ve never seen anything quite LIKE IT!

 

[win_the_game]

This very obviously SELF-CHOREOGRAPHED, HIGH KICKS and SPINS SPECTACULAR also qualified.

 

[Soldi]

The title is ESC NEED MORE FUN?!

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

WHAT IS that alluring FABRIC she has on? I’ve never seen anything quite LIKE IT!

I saw something similar on ASMR Maria’s popular PROM DRESS FITTING video in which she described it as satin with other fibres (hay and fairy thread perhaps) sewn in but who can say? Certainly a very fashionable and flattering shade of pink which is certain to win over the discerning and demanding European audience

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

This very obviously SELF-CHOREOGRAPHED, HIGH KICKS and SPINS SPECTACULAR also qualified.

Are they even singing or just miming and having an admittedly stunning and world class little dance?

 

[Soldi]

OT: Look who has made a return to the LONGE this evening

[Dark Carnival]

Living!

 

[Lucille]

It’s all very tempting obviously, but none of it quite feels entirely rooted in REALITY.

 

[Lucille]

Insomuch as a lot of it feels like quite a sinister dream.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

The title is ESC NEED MORE FUN?!

apparently it's ESC as in Escape key and not (contrary to my hoped belief) Eurovision Song Contest

Oh this really MUST WIN!

Specific fabric appears at 28:00-ish although I think you’ll agree that they’re ALL very lovely

SANNA NIELSEN I LOVE YOUR WORK!

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

SANNA NIELSEN I LOVE YOUR WORK!

Sanna could NEVER. Poor love has been trying to get back into MF for years but insists on wearing PUFFY DISNEY CHIFFON

I do enjoy the below CAVEAT on the video.

Too late I’ve already BINNED the LITHIUM and fully committed to the healing sounds of CRINKLING.

for the song but also for the confused "should we clap for this" muted applause at the end.

 

[VoR]

This one has big ’5th place in a Melfest semi’ energy.

 

[win_the_game]

I hope Lithuania votes for whatever the hell this is.

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

I hope Lithuania votes for whatever the hell this is.

It's like a combination of a tinsel accident and house fire

 

[win_the_game]

Did you know THICK BLACK PAINT can be a great way to a DEFINE A JAWLINE

More WTG beauty tips coming soon.

 

[Penelope]

STATEMENTS!

 

[Penelope]

I hope Lithuania votes for whatever the hell this is.

Oh, already beaten to it

 

[Penelope]

Although so far as I can see, it received no points from the ever so cruel juries, and a mere 651 televotes from the PUBLIC

 

[Penelope]

I.T. DEAD in 11th (with 10 qualifying places)

 

[win_the_game]

How disappointing.

I honestly wouldn't be opposed to more countries opting for the art pop route.

IF ONLY!

 

[VoR]

This Olivia Roderigo-lite number won the heat


Monika Linkyte from 2015 finished second

and this was third

 

[VoR]

Apparently that's IT for the heats and we move straight to semi finals next week?

Based on that I expect the lovely Alison Moyet/Horse-esque mournful electro number will ultimately triumph.

WHAT?!

This is NOT the Lithuania I know and hate!

 

[VoR]

Also EVIL TWINS ALERT



It crept through in 5th tonight so it's still in the game. $ucce$$!

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

What a treat that we have POLAND to look forward to. Dishing it (sp?) up year in year out with no pesky dips in QUALITY!
