Lithuania is so underrated. I hope she makes it to the final. Best of luck ❤️

@hotpepper8594 Рік тому

Lithuania is a dark horse, it might be not everyone's favourite but it will surprise us in May😊

@jurgitalz Рік тому

After more than a month this entry is selected, we're finally getting a reaction

I literally thought they forgot us.

Lithuania has lowkey been one of the most reliable eurovision countries in recent years. This one is subtle and beautiful and Monika's vocals are actually pretty stunning, and paired with such lovely harmonies. I'm with Deban on this, will be very surprised if they don't qualify

@marie5075 Рік тому

Shes in my top 10!! LOVE IT

@Lheafar Рік тому

one of the most beautiful ballads this year

Yas Monika ❤ I Love Lithuania this year again and again and again. Part of my Top10 (before may)

@markr002 Рік тому

A Massive grower. Hope it gets to final and slays. X

@nina.na9 Рік тому

Finally that guy who got up every morning checking if you reacted to Lithuania and spammed every single video here asking for a reaction can be relieved 😁

@linara255 Рік тому

So glad to hear how Deban catched the essence of the performance.

@lemicomo Рік тому

My biggest grower this season, it’s not leaving my top 10!

@iamsultana Рік тому

Maybe the best voice in the contest this year. Just gorgeous.

Monika our amber😍 I'm looking forward to see all performance in Liverpool 😊 she will do the best. Thanks Deban for good words❤️❤️

@pauliusmendelis3034 Рік тому

Yessss! We love Lithuanian entry - best of luck in Liverpool. It is a beautiful ballad-pop song and Monika delivers. Hope her team does amazing job with the staging! 💛💚♥️

@Dragonfighter2013 Рік тому

This reminds me of Portugal last year. It's so calming

@VytasNeviera Рік тому

It's as if William wasn't listening, making those silly comments along the way. Thanks, Deban, for doing a good job at actually reacting!

@HekatieSquires Рік тому

I have a very personal connection to Lithuania so I’m always team Lithuania, but this song in particular just resonates so much with me and my story. Sure I’m only 22 but I’ve been dealing with depression since I was about 8 (there’s a lot of trauma based amnesia around that time so I don’t have a specific timeframe) and being the oldest sister, I’ve locked away a lot of my pain so as to not worry them. And I know I’m far from the only one 💖

@hugolimplaire6735 Рік тому

Stay reminds me a lot of Saudade Saudade, I really hope she gets the same treatment as Maro last year !! This song is so meaningful and incredibly underrated. Let’s Čiuto Tuto !!!!

Most underated song this year... ITS beatiful

Thanks for Your reaction 🔥

@gowithzy Рік тому

The best voice of Eurovision ! She will do very well. Wonderful number 15 in the final!!❤❤❤ Gospel power.

@carlisbookshelf Рік тому

She might be my favorite this year. She's beautiful with a voice of an angel! I like the subtlety of this song.

@christianj5950 Рік тому

I really hope Lithuania qualifies, I think this entry could get a lot of love from the juries in the final. It has that kind of uplifting, "classy gospel" sound that the juries have appreciated many times before, even when the televote doesn't.

@fyrhunter_svk Рік тому

My fourth place

@t0mbiv Рік тому

One of my Top 5 this year - I looove the live performance from Monika and the backing vocalists ♥ The performance makes me smile every time, so beautiful and pure! I agree with William that the UK televote will aid Monika, probably Estonia and Poland's televote too. But otherwise I agree with Deban - Monika is a surefire qualifier for me this year, no bells and whistles required! One of the weakest Semi Finals ever in my opinion, up there with Semi 1 last year. The talent of Monika and her team alone will get people picking up the phone. And the juries will eat this up in the Grand Final. Possible Top 10 for sure.

@Texaslawhorn Рік тому

I'm really hoping she advances. This is in my Top 5.

@tarista3512 Рік тому

I live in UK and I will vote for Lithuania!🇱🇹 ❤ I wish best luck, Monika!🥰❤️🙏👍🙌

@FeelinErie Рік тому

I actually prefer the chorus in this live version to the studio version - feels more alive to me. Maybe in the final chorus after the bridge there should be more vocal ad-libs, something bold and choral.

@vytisandre5605 Рік тому

Thanks guys! Very professional review! We love Monika!

@colinrenfrew48 11 місяців тому

I loved this. A great song beautifully presented.

@gowithzy Рік тому

This will in the final shock everyone with good place or even win 🏆:)

@nilslog6623 Рік тому

For once I disagree with William and agree with Deban 😂

@emilkazimli1448 Рік тому

Wiwibloggs, do you take reaction videos right after song reveal or after several listenings to form opinions on songs? It was too late for reaction

@UtamagUta Рік тому

If anything this performance reminds me of last years Protugal entry (Sodado) and Austrias spaceship gospel song

@mistikamistika9621 Рік тому

Super❤ Monika

@christianity8137 Рік тому

William is wrong. Lithuanian community is around 170 k in UK. There are more Polish, Germans, Romanians, Portuguese, Italians, Spanish and etc. Its not about how big is is. Its about being united when it comes time to vote.

@daivaramoniene738 Рік тому

Superrrrrr….❤❤❤

@stillsane9687 Рік тому

i'm sorry William but it's advancing easily. 6th or 7th in the semi

@martinjmcc1981 Рік тому

I hope it makes it, I think televote might be stronger elsewhere, borderline for me.

@dnzcz7192 Рік тому

LOVE THIS SONG 🇱🇹🌟 PLEASE REACT ALBANIA REVAMP 🇦🇱🇦🇱😊

@tavo_tevas Рік тому

I don't understand why lithuanians don't like our eurovision again. Like bro we chose this song we could have chosen beatrich or something like that and lithuanians chose Monika and now they don't like Lithuania eurovision again. Most Lithuanians say that we won't even make it to the finals, but when you think about it, we made it to the finals with the Lithuanian language in the finals now is 78% that we will be better than last year. DŽIAUKIMĖS, KĄ MES PATYS IŠRINKOME, NES JŪSŲ NIEKAS NEVERTĖ BALSUOT UŽ MONIKĄ. MONIKOS DAINA LABAI GRAŽI MES TURĖTUMĖM PATEKTI Į FINALĄ❤🇱🇹
