Monika Šalčiūtė video sparks debate over song choice for young performer

A resurfaced video of Lithuanian influencer Monika Šalčiūtė performing a hit song from the early 2000s has sparked renewed online debate about her past performances. The video shows a young Šalčiūtė singing "Pabučiuok" by the popular group YVA, a song with themes of seduction.

I thought she was such a character, but she's been like this since she was little. But still, she's lovely. Only the song – not for a child.

Commenters have focused on her age at the time of the performance, with many expressing concern that the song's lyrical content was not suitable for a minor. "I thought she was such a character, but she's been like this since she was little. But still, she's lovely. Only the song – not for a child," one commenter wrote. Another noted, "Since childhood, 'seduce me' has been drilled into her head."

Despite the controversy, some commenters also offered compliments on her appearance, with one noting, "She hasn't changed much in appearance even now." However, the prevailing sentiment among critics was that "a girl of that age shouldn't be singing such songs." The discussion underscores the enduring public interest and scrutiny surrounding Šalčiūtė's early career and public persona.
